Reservations

All homes and condominiums (rental units) in our rental program are
privately owned, are for rent by the owner and their prices are
subject to change. For each reservation you will receive written
confirmation, which will be sent to you by email.

Payments

The Minimum rental term is one week, however, some rental units
come with a minimum one (1) month term. 12% tourist tax and a
processing fee will be additional. You can pay by Personal Check
or Credit Cards. We suggest credit card payments using Visa, MasterCard
or Discover. All payments are to be made in US-Dollars and all
occurring bank fees and transfer fees are to be paid by the renter.
A deposit of 33% of the total amount is required to hold a rental
reservation and is due at the time of booking. The reservation is
only valid after receipt of the first deposit. An additional
deposit of 33% of the total amount is due 90 days prior to arrival.
The final balance is due 30 days prior to your arrival. Code for
key-box or front door will be sent out on the day of arrival.
Reservations made within 30 days of arrival require the full amount
to be paid by check, cash or with a credit card. All rental units are
subject to a one-time cleaning fee from $160.00 to $400.00 USD

Utilities

The owner of your rental unit will provide water, electricity, air
conditioning, heat, trash removal, TV and FREE Wi-Fi. The renter is
responsible for the pool heater, excessive Internet-use plus all long
distance calls made during his stay (where the phone is available).

Insurances and Security Deposit

In Cooperation with Rental Guardian, we can offer Travel Insurance and
Damage Protection Insurance. Damage Protection Insurance is added to
each booking automatically against loss, damage, or breakage. Renters
are responsible for any damage that occurs during their occupancy.
Renters need to advise the Management Company immediately
regarding any loss or damage that occurred.
Minor breakages such as crockery or glassware will inevitably occur at
times. It is much cheaper for the renters to replace these items
themselves rather than wait for them to be discovered by the
housekeeper. In rare cases rental units are subject to a security deposit.
Please find all the information about the Travel Insurance on our
website: https://sunnydreams.rentalguardian.com/

Occupancy

All prices displayed on our website and in our brochures are based on
occupancy of 4 people, including children. Any occupancy of more
than 4 people (or 6 people in larger homes) will incur an additional
charge per person. The maximum occupancy of each rental unit is
shown on the rental agreement. This maximum number is the
MAXIMUM total occupancy. Over-occupancy is considered a SERIOUS
VIOLATION of your lease, and you will be asked to leave, or the
occupancy can be denied.

Pets

Pets are not permitted in our rental units unless specifically stated
in the rental agreement. Not all properties allow pets. Costs for
each pet will be $150.00 USD for extra cleaning. A renter with a
pet in a rental unit without prior written permission shall be
deemed to be in violation of the rental agreement and shall be
evicted immediately with no refund and shall include the forfeiture of
all monies paid.

Phone

Some rental units offer phone service. Local calls, 1-800-numbers and
Emergency calls are free in these rental units.

Internet

All rental units offer FREE High-Speed Internet and Wi-Fi. Most rental
units have limitations for their data download amounts. Streaming
videos and excessive use of the Internet will be charged extra.

Cancellation

If you need to cancel your rental agreement, it is important that the
Management Company is notified immediately by writing an e-mail.
The following cancellation charges apply.
Up to 91 days prior to arrival the cancellation charge is $400.00
USD 61-90 days prior to arrival the cancellation charge is $500.00
USD. 31-60 days prior to arrival the cancellation fee is 60% of the
rental fee (plus prorated taxes).
Within thirty (30) days of arrival the cancellation fee is 100% of the
rental fee (+ taxes) unless the rental unit is re-rented for the entire
period in an amount equal to or greater than the rental fee the
renter agreed to pay. In this event the cancellation fee will be
$500.00 USD.
No rental refunds are given for early departure. In most cases, you
may be covered under your Travel Insurance policy (which we highly
recommend).
The Management Company reserves the right to cancel any
reservation where it is believed that the information provided
regarding the identity of any or all persons listed on the rental
agreement is incorrect or not true. Your deposit will be refunded
minus a fee of $300.00 USD. If your choice of a rental unit becomes
unavailable for your travel dates for any reason, we reserve the right
to assign you an alternate rental unit of equal or higher standard in
the same or as close location as possible.

Accommodations

Each rental unit is individually owned, and the furnishings and
decorations reflect the taste of the owner. Equipment and supplies
may vary. The Management Company cannot be held responsible for
changes made by the owners regarding furnishings, decorations and
equipment, or for the general condition of the rental unit. All rental
units are very well-maintained and very clean. From time to time
some problems with utilities (electric, water, TV, appliances, etc.)
may occur. All efforts are made to take care of the repairs
promptly, but some delays may be possible, especially during
holidays or over weekends. Please do not place repair calls yourself.
Renters will not be entitled to any refund, discount or compensation
whatsoever due to malfunctioning of equipment or other renter
dissatisfactions. Renters shall not move or relocate any furniture,
TV's or other fixtures or equipment in the rental unit.
All complaints or enquiries concerning your rental unit must always
first be brought to the attention of the Management Company.

Cleaning and Sanitation (as per CDC Guidelines)

We are proud to offer very clean rental units. Each rental unit is
cleaned prior to your arrival. During your stay the rental unit is self-
sustaining, and we expect the rental unit to be kept in a normal
clean condition. The one-time cleaning fee includes one routine
cleaning plus washing of bedding and towels (more than 3 loads will
be de- ducted from the deposit). Additional Mid-Stay Cleaning can
be arranged upon request and is to be paid for separately before
departure. Do not leave any food open or outside. Florida is
notorious for ants and other insects. Remember: A cleaner rental
unit has fewer bugs.
Our cleaning service uses "green" cleaning agents which are safe for
people with chemical sensitivities and allergies, which in turn
means we try to help to protect the environment. The used products
are all environmentally safe and meet or exceed the EPA's standards
in their "Design for the Environment“.

Construction

Due to the increase in rental unit construction in the area, there is
the possibility of some construction noise. We hope that this will not
affect your stay in any way, but the Management Company cannot
accept liability for any disturbance this may cause.

Responsibilities of the renters

The responsible party in the Rental Agreement agrees to accept full
and personal liability for all loss or damage caused during the
occupation of the rental unit and confirms that the full costs for any
repair or replacement will be paid by the same.

Your rental unit may be located in a deed restricted community
where special restrictions may apply (e.g. no boats, trailers or RV's
are allowed in the driveway). It is your obligation to be aware of and
abide by the rules, regulations and restrictions of the community
where your rental unit may be located. Violation of any of these
restrictions may result in immediate termination of the rental
agreement and forfeiture of all monies paid.

The renter agrees that during the term of the occupancy of the
premises, the premises are kept clean and free of trash, garbage,
and other waste. The renter also agrees to allow potential showings
of the rental unit to prospective renters and buyers with 24 hours’
notice. We expect the rental unit to be left in a "neat" condition.
Additional cleaning can be arranged and is to be paid for separately
before departure. All our units are smoke-free.

During your vacation, you will be staying in a privately owned rental
unit on a private residential estate. Please ensure that you act in a
neighborly and courteous manner towards your neighbors, who will
most likely NOT be on vacation. While we do not wish to diminish
your enjoyment in any way, we do request that noise be kept to a
minimum during early mornings, late evenings and through the night,
particularly around the patio and pool. Excessive noise will almost
certainly lead to a visit from the Sheriff or local security officer and
could even lead to your party being evicted from the premises and
forfeiture of all monies paid.

The responsible party in the rental agreement assures that any guest
who violates any of the terms of the rental agreement shall be
immediately denied occupancy and shall be liable and remedy any
damages or other expenses which are caused by the renter and/or
the renter's guest(s)

Assignment or sub-leasing is not permitted to any persons not
authorized by the Management Company in advance and in writing.
Please ensure that we are notified of any changes to the original
booking as unauthorized people staying at the rental unit will cause
the whole party to be evicted from the premises with no refund and
shall include the forfeiture of all monies paid.

Arrival

Check-in time is usually at 4 PM, check-out time is at 10 AM. The time
in between is needed for the cleaning service to make the rental unit
ready for the next renters. If you plan to arrive late, please notify
the Management Company ahead of time so that arrangements can
be made on how you get access to the rental unit. Furthermore,
please inform the Management Company by email or fax about your
expected arrival time at least one week prior to your arrival.

Check-in

The check-in time is 4 PM or as agreed. Upon arrival, you will find a
"Little Manual", a garage door opener plus the keys on the countertop
(if not arranged otherwise and available) and a Check-In Sheet.
Please sign and initial the check-in sheet upon your arrival and send
it to our email address or phone number listed on the tag.
Sometimes there is some trash or recycling leftovers in the garage
of the rental unit, ready to be put out for pick-up. Since there are
specific collection days for trash/recycle pickup and there might be
raccoons in your area which like to open trash, these leftovers need
to stay inside the garage until the collection day. Please take care of
putting out the trash on the first collection day (see instructions in
your manual). There are often some usable leftovers from former
renters in the kitchen or bathrooms. You are welcome to either use
these products or throw them away.

Check-out

Check-out time is 10AM. Please remove all trash from the rental unit
on the last collection day prior to departure. Clean and re-shelf all
dishes, clean the range, oven and especially the BBQ. Close and lock
all windows and doors. Set Air Conditioner to 80°F in all rooms. If
keys or garage door openers are not returned on your departure day,
there will be a charge of $250.00 USD.

Pool/Jacuzzi and exterior Maintenance

There is a service company in charge of all Pools, Jacuzzis,
landscaping and exterior maintenance. Please DO NOT touch any of
the pool controls. Please keep pool cage doors always unlocked for
the cleaning service.

The Pool/Jacuzzi may be heated (if available) during cooler seasons
at an extra charge from S75.00 to $100.00 USD per week. Minimum
charge is one week and payable by the renter at or before arrival.

The Management Company as well as the owners and their agents do
not accept liability for any injury in or around the Pool/Jacuzzi and
on the entire premises. Renters and their guests are specifically
instructed NOT to allow unsupervised children to use the
Pool/Jacuzzi or to play on the Pool deck and around the
Pool/Jacuzzi. Baby Safety Fences (where available) must be
installed for child protection at all times. The use of Golfcart(s)
(where available) on and outside the premises happens at the
renter’s own risk and all liability and responsibility is strictly
declined by the Management Company and by the owners.

Reservation for the following Year

All renters have the first right of refusal to book the same rental unit
for the following year and for the same time frame. We always try
our best to accommodate our customers, therefore please contact us
as soon as possible if you wish to rent a unit for the following season.
There usually is a waiting list from Mid-December until April.

Weather and Nature

The State of Florida is of sub-tropical nature and can
experience extreme weather at certain times. June to November
is Hurricane season, during this time you can occasionally
experience high winds and heavy rainfall. July and August can
be hot and humid with temperatures up to 96°F. Lightning and
Thunderstorms are likely and can occur daily during the summer.
The Management Company is not responsible for these events and
no refund shall be provided for any interruption in your stay due to
acts of God. Protection from the sun is vital, especially for
children. Florida also is notorious for insects; therefore, repellents
are recommended. Please respect the wildlife.

Office Hours

The Management Company can normally be reached by phone
from Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM Eastern
Time. For emergency questions, feel free to contact us after
hours.

We appreciate your business and wish you
a most enjoyable and relaxing vacation.
