Reservations

to change. For
each reservation you need a booking confirmation
which you receive by email after filling out the booking form. A US$1,000.00 deposit is
required to hold a property and due on booking. The final balance is due
30 days prior to your arrival. All prices displayed on this homepage are
based on a maximum 4 people occupancy. If no initial deposit is received
within 10 days of the initial booking, the contract is automatically
cancelled and the property is back on the availability list.
Payments
Minimum rent are two weeks, some homes are for rent on a monthly basis only.
You can pay by Personal Check. We do also accept credit card payments through Paypal.com with
an additional 3% surcharge. All homes are subject to a one time US$120.00
cleaning fee. All prices include sales tax and tourist tax. Cleaning fee
and Pool heating (if requested) is always extra.
Peace of Mind
All homes subject to a minimum of US$500.00 security deposit against damage,
breakages and extra cleaning . Local and Long Distance calls are free. Guest are responsible for any
damage that occur during occupancy. Please replace minor breakages yourself,
it is less expensive.

90 days (or more) prior to your arrival the handling charge is US$ 250.00.
60 days (or less) prior
to arrival the cancellation fee is US$ 1,000.00. If you must cancel your
reservation within 30 days or less of your arrival, we cannot refund your payment
unless the unit is re-rented for the entire period. If the unit is re-booked
for the entire period, you will only be charged a US$ 250.00 cancellation
fee. Please contact us immediately if you need to cancel your stay. This
gives us more time to re-book the unit.
Responsibilities
Some of you will vacation with other couples or friends but only the leaseholder
is responsible for payments and damages. Rotonda-West is a deed restricted
community, no boats, trailers or RV's are allowed in the driveway.
Occupancy
The occupancy of each rental unit is designated on the rental agreement/booking
confirmation.
This number is the MAXIMUM total occupancy. Over-occupancy is considered
a SERIOUS VIOLATION of your lease and you will be asked to leave or occupancy
can be denied. Any guests having parties, disturbing neighbors with loud
and unnecessary behavior or found with a pet will be evicted by the
local sheriff immediately
with no refund.
Accommodations
Each home is individually owned and reflect the tastes of the owner. Equipment
and supplies may vary. The site owner cannot be held responsible for changes
made by the owners in furnishings and equipment, or the general condition
of the home. All homes are very well-maintained and very clean. It is
strictly forbidden to post any pictures or comments about the rental on
any website without prior consent of the owner. From time
to time some problems with utilities (electric, water, cable, appliances
etc) occur. All efforts are done to handle repairs promptly but some delays
may occur. Please do not place repair calls yourself. Compensation will
not be issued due to malfunctioning equipment or other guest dissatisfactions.
Please do not move any furniture or TV's in the home.
Cleaning
We are proud to offer very clean homes. Each home is cleaned prior to your
arrival. During your stay the home is self- sustaining. We expect the rental
to be left in normal clean condition. The one time cleaning fee includes
routine cleaning and one set of bedding and towels per person. Additional
cleaning will be charged to the Security Deposit at US$30.00 per hour. Do
not leave any food outside. Florida is notorious for ants and other insects.
Remember a cleaner home has less bugs. Please remove all garbage on the
last collection day.

February and March, the minimum length of stay is one month. April to
January, the minimum length of stay is two weeks.

the first pick-up day. Also there are often some leftovers from former renters in
the kitchen or bathrooms. You are welcome to either use those products
or throw them away.

but we cannot accept liability for any disturbance this may cause.
