Payment & Deposit
A deposit of £150 is required to secure your booking, with an additional fully refundable damages/security deposit of £150 to be paid 8 weeks prior to departure with the outstanding balance.

Confirmation of the booking with your deposit payment is your acceptance to pay for any damage of any kind caused by your occupancy of the property. The cost of repairs and/or replacements will be deducted from your security deposit prior to the return of the balance. The security deposit will be fully refundable within 2 weeks of your departure from the property, providing there are no claims against it. In the event of any excess damage of any kind, excessive cleaning costs by our agents or excessive use of electricity (caused by leaving external doors open with the air conditioning on) the person who made the booking will be held responsible for all additional costs which exceed the security deposit.

Smoking is not permitted in the villa and evidence of this may result in the loss of the deposit to fund additional cleaning.

The booking form must be completed by the party leader who must be over 21 years of age.

Brochure Description
Whilst all information supplied on the website is deemed to be correct and to the best of our knowledge, it is understood that the information and photographs supplied are for guidance purposes only and do not form part of any contract. The Owners and their agents reserve the right to make any modifications deemed necessary.

Party Size
The maximum capacity that our villa is licensed for is 10. The Owners must be provided with the names of everyone occupying the property, including small children. This is Florida State law and must be adhered to. The accommodation cannot be shared or sub-let and only the persons shown on the booking form are permitted to stay in the property. No pets are permitted. Persons under 21 years of age are not acceptable unless accompanied by parents or responsible adults. The property is fully licensed for short-term rentals in Florida. The Owners reserve the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not met. Failure to comply will render the booking void and no compensation will be paid.

Liability
The Owners and the Management Company of the property accept no responsibility whatsoever for death, personal injury, accidents, loss or damage to persons or personal belongings however caused. The use of all accommodations and amenities including the pool is entirely at the user’s own risk. Children must be supervised by responsible adults at all times when using the pool. Glass or crockery is not permitted within the pool area. The Owners or Management Company cannot accept any liability for any loss of rental time due to travel problem, flight delays or cancellations, industrial disputes or any events outside our control, including any form of Force Majeure. The Owners and the Management Company cannot accept responsibility for the sudden failure of villa equipment but will take immediate reasonable action to rectify any such failure upon notification by the guests. If the pool heater cannot reach optimum temperature due to adverse cold weather conditions the Owners or the Management Company cannot accept liability.

Pool Heat
The pool will only heat approximately 10 degrees above the outside temperature during the cold months. If the temperature falls below 55 degrees, the heating unit will not heat the pool and may shut down as a result. Should this happen, there are no refunds due to the inability of the pool heater to heat the pool during the cold months.  Pool heat charges start on the day of your arrival until the day of your departure (unless agreed otherwise).  Our management company usually switch this on the day before your arrival and this takes approximately 24 hours to heat your pool.

Arrival and Departure
The villa will be available for occupancy from 4pm on the date of arrival and must be vacated by 11am on the day of departure, unless otherwise agreed with the Owners in advance.
