Terms & Conditions

This is your short-term vacation rental agreement. This agreement outlines everything you need to know about our rental policies for our property. Our goal is to ensure that your stay at our property is wonderful and meets all of your expectations.

Rental Agreement: This Agreement (agreement) constitutes a contract between the Guest (you, your) and Owner (us, we, our or PM) of the Vacation Rental Property (property). By signing this agreement, you and your guests are agreeing to all terms and conditions listed in the rental agreement. Your vacation rental is a transient rental under state law. This means that your tenancy is temporary for the stated time period only. At no time is the property to be sublet or assigned to another individual. Please do not make any repairs, alterations, or improvements in or about the property.

Confirmation of Reservation: Your reservation is confirmed when we receive your electronically signed rental agreement and an advance payment equal to 50% of the rental rate. The name on this agreement must be an adult who is at least 25 years old, and will be the responsible party for the reservation and all rental obligations. No chaperoned groups.

Payment: An advance payment equal to 50% of the rental rate is required at the time of booking. The advance payment will be applied toward the rent. Please make payments via credit or debit card. The advance payment is not a damage deposit. The balance of rent is due 60 days before your arrival date. Reservations made less than 60 days prior to arrival require full payment at the time of booking.

Cancellation: Cancellations made more than 60 days prior to your arrival will receive a total refund of any advance payments less a $250 cancellation fee. For cancellation of leases with a stay over 30 nights made more than 60 days prior to your arrival will recieve a total of any advance payments less a $1000 cancellation fee.

Cancellations made within 60 days of the check-in date will receive no refund and you will forfeit any money paid in advance.

Severe Weather/Hurricanes/Tropical Storms: There are no refunds for severe weather including hurricanes, hurricane evacuations, and tropical storms. It is highly recommended, but not required, that you purchase travel insurance. It is up to you to purchase the insurance, it is not our responsibility.

Travel Insurance Provided by TRAVEL GUARD: Every year, snowstorms, hurricanes and other unexpected weather events cause travelers to delay, interrupt or even cancel their trips completely. A travel insurance plan can help cover your vacation investment. Specific coverage questions should be directed to Travel Guard (1.877.246.5376 or www.travelguard.com/astp). Please refer to product number 008573/008574 P1 & account # 97908.

Mail Delivery Policy / Fees: Should it be necessary to have something shipped to the property, please use a carrier that will deliver directly to the front door. We do not support USPS mail delivery (i.e, Amazon) as that requires someone to physically check the central community mailbox with a key. There will be a $50 service fee for each trip to the locked mailbox within the community. A mailbox may not be set-up for this unit.

System or Amenity Failure: In case of failure of a system or amenity during your stay, including but not limited to, water, sewer, heating, air-conditioning, electrical, mechanical, ventilating, structural systems, major appliances, or entertainment equipment, we shall repair them in a workmanlike manner.

This accidental damage waiver is not insurance. It is a non-refundable, one-time charge per reservation that covers accidental damage reported by the guest prior to check-out for guests who have complied with the Agreement. In exchange for the payment of the Damage Waiver fee and the execution of this Agreement, which incorporates the terms of this limited waive clause, we hereby waive the right to charge the guest for any reported damages to the Property that result from the guests’ accidental or inadvertent acts or omissions during the duration of their stay for damages up to but not exceeding $1,500.

Guests are responsible for any damages or losses in excess of the Damage Limit Amount of $1,500, as well as any damages or losses excluded from the terms herein.

4. Theft that results from guest’s failure to lock or secure the premises or property

The policy applies only to the direct physical loss or damage to covered property. It does not cover loss of use of such property. This waiver is not intended in any way to provide reimbursement or coverage for the following items, which shall remain the responsibility of the owner of the property:
1. Damages that constitute normal wear and tear.
2. Damages resulting from acts of God, including but not limited to acts resulting in fire, flood or other natural disasters.
3. Damages or losses to property which are unrelated to the actions of the guest.
4. Theft that occurs despite the guests’ reasonable efforts to secure the property and related items.

Procedures
When a guest provides notice to us prior to check-out of accidental or inadvertent damage to the property, we will investigate the damage to determine whether the damage appears to have been caused by accidental or inadvertent actions, and to determine the nature and extent of the damages and the necessity for and costs of the repairs or replacements. Such determination shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of our staff provided there is some reasonable basis for making such a determination. We have ultimate claim administration authority.

Golf Cart Information Sheet

Cart charger needs to be kept out of the weather, and off of the beach. Leave the charger at the residence while operating the cart. LEAVE THE CHARGER IN THE GARAGE. DO NOT REMOVE FROM GARAGE.

The key must be removed from the cart anytime it is left unattended. Park cart in garage day or night when not in use. Please keep the garage door closed.

The charger is a "smart charger" and will shut off automatically when the cart is fully charged. The large gray end of the charger plugs into the cart at the driver's side of the cart just below the operator. The plug will only fit one way. The power end is to be plugged into 110V service only.

The cart is equipped with a battery light indicating when the batteries are getting low. When the light comes on, the cart will need to be plugged into the charger. The cart should be plugged into the charger every night regardless of the battery condition. This will ensure you get the most out of the cart for the duration of your rental. Keep in mind electric carts cannot run continuously without charging the batteries. There is a $100 fee to have the cart towed if you run the cart out of battery power. Run time will be shortened if the cart is driven with radio or cd playing and when carrying 4 passengers.

DO NOT OPERATE cart in the surf or sand or beach. Operating a cart in the surf, sand or beach will result in the loss of the use of the cart and your security deposit at a minimum, with no exceptions!

At no time should there be more than 4 passengers on one cart. Passengers MUST wear seat belts.

Do not make turns at high speeds. Slow down to turn or make corners.

Do not for any reason attempt to perform maintenance or repairs on the cart. Should a problem exist, contact GULF911 immediately and the problem will be resolved as soon as possible. Upon completion of rental, the cart should be washed off thoroughly. Do not use a pressure washer. A water hose will be sufficient. Make sure that the charger does not get wet, and that the entire cart is rinsed.

NOTE: Failure to wash the cart at the completion of the rental period will result in a $25.00 cleaning fee that will be charged against your deposit. There will be a $50.00 replacement fee for a lost key during regular business hours.
