Security / Breakages Bond
 
 

The villa front door key must be left in its security box each time you leave the property. The loss of the door key will result in a charge of £150 sterling or $300 USD from your security deposit.

You will be provided with one key for the villa. In the situation that you lock yourself out, you are to phone the management company immediately and they will allow you re-entry into the house. Unfortunately you will incur a small charge (payable at that time) for their service depending on the call out time ($25 in office hours, $100 out of office hours).

You are held responsible for any damage or breakages that may be caused to the property, its contents and also for any items in the inventory during your stay. All damage and faults caused or found at the home must be reported to the management company at the earliest opportunity.

A refundable security deposit of £200 sterling or $400 USD must be paid at the same time as the deposit.

This security deposit of £200 pounds or $400 USD will be returned to you, within 30 days of your departure, providing the local management have reported no breakages and you have returned the key as requested. We check the inventory prior to your arrival and after your departure and will advise of any faults. These may include additional cleaning costs for spills, stains etc.

We reserve the right to retain the security deposit (either in part or full) to cover breakages, damage, non-return of the key or other circumstances as a direct result of smoking in the property. Receipts for repairs/replacements will be provided in the unlikely event that such retention of the security deposit is required.

We reserve the right to pursue a quest for recompense for any and all damages caused which may exceed the value of the security deposit within 14 days of being served notice of this.

Florida has a sub-tropical climate and care must be taken with food that is left uncovered. Spoiling and contaminating food left uncovered can attract insects very quickly. Any added costs for pest control services incurred from lack of care in this may be passed to you.
