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 prior to checking-in to your vacation rental.
Damage policy
As a condition to the rental of all vacation properties, Wischis Florida Home 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, Wischis Florida Home 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.
The Tenant shall pay for any damage caused to the premises beyond normal wear and tear. For example, normal wear and tear includes minor scuff marks on walls, slight fading of paint, or small carpet stains from everyday use. However, damages such as large holes in walls, broken furniture, or excessive staining that requires professional cleaning are beyond normal wear and tear and will incur additional charges.
Upon arrival
If there are concerns or issues with your rental property, please immediately contact our office per email or phone (leave a message if there is no answer). No refunds or considerations are given unless we are notified of problems during your stay.
Arrival time
Check in is at {reservations.property_check_in_time}. 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 {reservations.property_check_out_time}. Your prompt departure is appreciated so we can prepare the vacation rental for any incoming guests.
Cancellations
No refunds will be issued for shortened stays due to weather, family emergencies, or other commitments. For example, if a hurricane disrupts travel plans or a guest must leave early for a personal emergency, the remaining rental period will not be refunded. The cancellation fee is 100% of the rental amount unless another renter is found for the same period. Travel cancellation insurance is recommended. The down payment will NOT be refunded.
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 Wischis Florida Home 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.
