deemed as a breach of contract and all guests
may be asked to leave the villa without any
viable claim for compensation. Only the persons

the villa. The Management Company on arrival
will verify the persons occupying the villa. By
Florida State Law, the number of occupants must
not exceed 10 persons.
Completion of the on-line or downloaded Villa
Booking Form infers full agreement with the
booking terms and conditions even if a hardcopy
of the booking form has not been sent.

been confirmed can be made at the owner’s
discretion.
Security Deposit
A conditional refundable security deposit of
£250 ($400) will be charged with the final
balance to cover any breakages, losses or damage
whilst staying in the villa. Notwithstanding the
amount of the security deposit, the client is
solely responsible for any damages, losses or
breakages that may be caused to the villa or its
contents. All or part of the security deposit
may be retained by the owners to cover excess
cleaning costs, replacement or repairs to the
villa or its contents, excessive utility bills
i.e. external doors and/or windows being left
open whilst the air-conditioning is on. Any
defects found by the client on arrival must be
notified to the Management Company within 24
hours of arrival or the client may be held
liable. The Owners reserve the right to pursue
the client for further monies to cover any
malicious or avoidable damage / losses over and
above the monetary amount of the security
deposit. Security Deposits are ordinarily
returned to guests within 21 - 28 days following
departure. Where it is necessary to investigate
utility bills for excessive use then we reserve
the right to extend this time accordingly.

if the balance payable is not received 10 weeks
prior to departure. If through circumstances
beyond the owner’s control it is necessary to

refund any monies paid by the client, without
interest or further compensation. The owner may
at his discretion offer alternative
accommodation of equal or better standard as an
alternative to a full refund, subject to there
being any availability of alternative
accommodation.
Arrival/Departure
Reservations are for a minimum of 7 nights
(other than by prior arrangement).
The villa is available after 16:00 hours
(local time) on the day of arrival and must be
vacated by 10:00AM on the day of
departure - this is to allow our housekeeping
staff time to prepare the villa for the next
guests. Unless otherwise arranged and agreed,
this checkout time must be strictly enforced to
allow housekeeping time to prepare the home for
the next guests.
If you should require a late check-out, please
contact villa management who will try to
accommodate your request (if at all possible) –
please note this is entirely dependent upon the
arrival date & time of the next guests and is at
the discretion of villa management.
The villa rental is only
for the dates and times agreed to in the rental
contract. Any attempt to enter the villa before
the agreed upon time is not acceptable and any
violation will result in you being charged
double the daily rate for each day (or portion
of a day) that the villa is occupied outside the
agreed rental dates and times. Deductions will
automatically be made from your security
deposit.
Price Guarantee
The prices quoted are subject to change.
However, the rental price for the villa is fully
guaranteed once the deposit has been paid and
the acknowledgement/receipt has been issued.
Website Description
The website is a guide to the quality

form part of any contract. The owner or their
Management Company reserve the right to make any

that unintentional errors, mistakes or omissions
occur we cannot accept any liability for these
details. In the unlikely event that
circumstances beyond our control necessitate the
cancellation of the arrangements we reserve the
right to take all reasonable steps to find
alternative accommodation.

subsequently heating is required, the Management
Company will levy a local fee of $20 per day.
The maximum legally permitted temperature we are
allowed to heat the pool water is 86°F (30°C) -
please do not request anything higher.
Please be aware that it is
not possible to guarantee the temperature of the

temperature drops below 55°F (13°C) we cannot
guarantee that we can maintain the pool
temperature at a comfortable temperature. Please
always use the insulating pool blanket (when
provided in colder months) to help to maintain
the pool heat when the pool is not in use.
Failure to use the pool blanket will result in
excessive electricity charges which may be
deducted from your security deposit.

reserve the right to pursue the least guest for
any additional charges as a result of having to
relocate future guests whilst our villa is being
