Terms and Conditions

Renter requirements

For legal and accounting purposes, the person placing the reservation must be the same as the credit/debit card holder. This person is considered to be the guest. All other persons involved with the rental are considered to be the guest's invitees, and all discussion regarding reservation, cancellation, and damage policies will be discussed with the guest, not the guest's invitees. 

                                                

Down payment/ payment

Final payment will be required 30 days prior to checking-in to your vacation rental.

                                                
Damage policy

As a condition to the rental of all vacation properties, United Vacation Homes reserves the right to charge the guest's credit card for any and all uncovered guest/invitee caused losses and damages sustained to the vacation property throughout the duration of their period of occupancy. In the event of any uncovered guest/invitee-caused loss or damage to the vacation property, including, but not limited to, undue cleaning, eviction, service calls, service charges, fines/assessments, repairs or replacements, plus all applicable taxes, United Vacation Homes  is hereby granted the right to charge the guest's credit card. By written or electronic endorsement of this agreement, the guest hereby agrees to pay for all such charges, as defined above and on the proceeding pages.

                                                

Upon arrival

If there are concerns or issues with your rental property, please immediately contact our office (leave a message if there is no answer). No refunds or considerations are given unless we are notified of problems during your stay.

                                                

Emergencies/ maintenance

In the event of a problem getting in the vacation rental or if there are problems with condition or functionality of the vacation rental, please immediately contact the United Vacation Homes  office (leave a voice message if there is no answer!) at 407-255-2267. If it is after office hours we will make every effort to return your call as soon as possible.

                                                

Arrival time

Check in is at 4 p.m. An early arrival may be arranged, pending other reservations and the housekeeping schedule. Please contact us prior to your arrival to make these arrangements. Unless you have specifically arranged for an early arrival time, please do not arrive at the property before your schedule check in time.

                                                

Departure time

Check out is at 10 a.m. Your prompt departure is appreciated so we can prepare the vacation rental for any incoming guests. A late departure may be arranged, pending other reservations and the housekeeping schedule. If you have not arranged for a late check out, you may be charged a fee for each hour beyond 10 am you are still on property, at a minimum of one hour. If the home has not been vacated by 4 p.m , a fee equal to the rental rate of one day may be assessed.

                                                

Cancellations

Power/ weather related cancellation: United Vacation Homes does not issue refunds due to acts of nature such as: weather, road conditions, snow conditions, power outages or hurricanes.

                                                

Number of guests

Change in number of guests/conduct of guests: guest(s) agrees that more than the number of people stated on the reservation shall not occupy the premises. Unauthorized people at the vacation rental at any time could result in extra charges for each additional guest, in addition to any and all damage, disturbance, and cleaning charges. The rental is not intended for parties, nor gatherings at any time of anyone except those who have paid to occupy the property. Exceptions are made on an individual basis - please contact United Vacation Homes for prior approval. If there is excessive noise or music, any illegal activity, or evidence of violation of these policies, you may be asked to vacate the premise without any refund and additional charges may be assessed. Please inform us of any change in the number of guests before your arrival to avoid these charges and so the cabin can be prepared appropriately for your group. No exceptions or refunds are given for changes in the number of guests after your arrival.

                                                

Linens & towels

Towels, sheets, pillows and blankets are not meant for outside use. Any mis-use or intentional damage to linens will result in the following charges: Bath Towels $15, Hand Towels $6, Wash Cloths $3. Comforters will be charged at $150 per piece regardless of size.

                                                

Pool Heat (If Applicable):

Adjustments to the temperature setting on the pool heater or timer are not authorized and you will automatically assume responsibility for any repairs to the pool, pool pump and heater.

The pool will only heat approximately 10-15 degrees above the outside temperature during the cold months. If the temperature falls below 50 degrees, the heating unit may not heat the pool adequately and may shut down.

  For pool heat that was not requested prior to check-in, I realize it takes approximately 24-48 hours to heat the pool, depending on the outside temperature. There are no refunds due to the inability of a pool heater to heat a pool during cold weather.

                                                

Smoking

Smoking is not permitted in any United Vacation Homes property.  If there is any tobacco smell in the home after your departure, you will be charged a cleaning fee equal to the cost of the departure clean. Oil lamps and incense are not permitted due to the long-lasting odor. If these policies are violated, there will be a charge for excessive cleaning.

                                                

Plumbing

Do not put any feminine products in the toilet. Plungers are provided if a clog occurs. Please do not pour grease down the drain.
