Common Questions about Vacation Rental Homes
What are the benefits of a vacation home rental?
Our vacation homes are stocked in such a way that you always feel like you are coming "home" to your "vacation home" rather than returning to a small hotel room. Our homes have full kitchens, with some homes having game rooms, pools, hot tubs and BBQ grills. You will be able to enjoy a full service home, while you are on vacation, rather than a small cramped hotel room.
How do I book a home?
To Reserve a Vacation Home, select the dates you are looking for to see which houses are available. You can either book directly on this website by using the "check availability box" to the left. Or you can call our office at 305-393-3004 and a Reservation Specialist will be glad to help you.
Is booking online secure?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you make a reservation. We offer the use of a secure server, all supplied credit card/sensitive information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database. It will only be accessible by those authorized with special rights to such systems, and they are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.
What is the Payment breakdown?
The Initial deposit is approx. 50% down, with the final payment due 60 days prior to stay. All reservations made 60 days prior to stay, will require balance to be paid in full. Payments can be made via Visa, MasterCard or Discover.
Is there a Security Deposit? What is an Insurance Damage Waiver Policy?
An Insurance Damage Waiver Policy replaces your Security Deposit. The cost for the Insurance Damage Waiver is $89, if you select this option, and will be added into the total cost of your stay. However, if you opt out of the Insurance Damage Waiver, a Refundable $3000 deposit is required, and will be added to the total cost of the reservation.
The $89 Insurance Policy is nonrefundable and it covers all guest, up to $5000, against un-intentional damage to the property. ***Intentional damage is not covered***
