Persons under 21 years of age are only acceptable if 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.

The villa is available from 4.00pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 11.00am on the day of departure.

Swimming Pool

Our pool depth is from around 3 feet to around 5 feet. Our pool is regularly inspected, cleaned and maintained. Children must be supervised by responsible adults at all times when using the pool. Glass or crockery is not permitted within the pool area.

Pool Heating.

Pool heating may be required for stays between October & May (but can be ordered for any month, to your choice) and must be requested on the Booking Form - there is a 4 day minimum period for pool heating.

Note that if you have ordered pool heating but the weather is warm, you will pay for ordered pool heating as this will have been turned on in advance of your arrival and no refunds will be given in these circumstances.

If you order pool heating from your check-in date, we cannot turn pool heating on for you whilst your rental home is occupied by other guests. Pool heating will be turned on (at some time between 11 am up to 4pm check-in time) on your check-in day, prior to your arrival . Depending on the weather conditions the water can take some hours to reach optimum temperature.

The pool is cleaned and chemically balanced every week for pool safety and comfort; however on isolated occasions it may be necessary to apply extra chemical to the pool to ensure safe and correct chemical levels. If this occurs during your stay it will be necessary for you to be out of the pool for a period of 12-24 hours for safety reasons. Please note that the management company nor ourselves accept no liability for compensation for the loss of pool facilities during this period.

Insurance.

We have taken every care to ensure you have a most enjoyable holiday in our villa. However, please note that we do not accept any liability for any accident, injury or loss caused to persons or personal effects by any reason or any claim made as a result of this booking and the stay at our villa through the rental period. 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 do not accept any liability for injury, death, damage or loss caused to persons or personal effects for any such claim by a third party as a consequence of actions by the client(s) and other people occupying the property during the rental period.

The client is responsible for obtaining insurance policies to cover all risks. This waiver is also applicable to people visiting the property as guests of the client. It is therfore advisable to take out insurance to cover yourself for injury, loss of property, third party liability and adequate cancellation or holiday insurance either through your insurance broker or travel agent.
