Terms & Conditions

1. The booking terms and conditions form the sole contract between Eric Colman (referred to as We) and the person signing the Booking Form, who must be over 18 years of age and who shall be deemed to sign this form on behalf of all the persons herein. No contract shall exist until we have received a signed booking together with the correct “booking deposit” and/or “full payment” and we have confirmed the reservation in writing.

2. The balance should be paid not later than 12 weeks before departure. If a booking is made within the 12-week period, “full payment” plus “a security deposit” must be received before the booking can be confirmed.

3. A “booking deposit” must be provided at the time of booking to secure the villa in your name.

4. A “security deposit” is used to cover excessive use of electricity (e.g. air condition on full with external doors left open), excessive cleaning costs, and also covers for damage, breakage and loss to any of the villa contents. The “security deposit” less any such charges will be refunded by check, as soon as the Management Company has completed its inventory and occupancy report. Usually refunded on the 18th day of the following month after your departure from the villa. Renters are liable for all damage and loss to the villa during their stay. We and our agents reserve the right of entry at any time.

5. The accommodation rates quoted are PER WEEK (not per person), and include electricity, air conditioning, heating (when applicable), cable TV, bed linen, towels, the use of all amenities and facilities.

6. FLORIDA SALES AND TOURIST TAX MUST BE PAID IN ADDITION TO THE RATES QUOTED.

7. Please note that SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED INSIDE ANY OF THE VILLAS, though it is permitted on the patio area by the pool. This keeps the villa odour free and also avoids the trouble of the sophisticated smoke detectors being triggered by the cigarette smoke. If the management company discover any evidence of smoking in the villa, this will be taken into account when assessing your “security deposit”, and your co-operation is therefore requested and appreciated.

8. The accommodation may only be sub-let, shared or assigned by you with our express agreement, otherwise only persons detailed on the booking form are permitted to stay in the villa. The maximum occupancy is quoted for each villa and is determined by the authorities within strict guidelines for fire safety. Please note that the contravention of the above will render your booking void and all moneys will be forfeited. NO PETS are allowed in the villas.

9. The rental period begins at 16.00 hours on the day of arrival and terminates at 10.00 hours on the day of departure. The villa is professionally cleaned and inspected before and after each rental to ensure that all guests have a comfortable stay. Lawn and Pool care are provided on a weekly basis. Please note that each villa has an initial supply of consumables (bin bags, toilet rolls, washing powder, etc.). Once these have been used it is NOT the responsibility of the Management Company to replenish these items during your stay. The consumables supplied vary from villa to villa and should be adequate for the first few days of your stay.

10. Cancellations must be confirmed to us in writing. In the event that you cancel your reservation, or we have to cancel the arrangements due to non-payment of the balance due within the time allowed before departure, cancellation charges will be made as follows: Up to 9 months prior to departure – Full Refund.
Within 9 months of departure – Deposit Charged.
