Short-Term Rental Agreement

1. The stay

The property, arrival and departure dates, number of guests, and total price are those shown in the booking confirmation. Check-in and check-out times are stated on the property page. The exact address and access instructions are provided after the booking is confirmed and must not be shared outside the booking party.

2. Occupancy

The number of people staying overnight must not exceed the maximum shown for the property, counting children. The Guest named on the booking must be present for the duration of the stay. Subletting or re-listing the property is not permitted.

3. No parties, events, or excessive noise

Our homes are in residential neighborhoods where people live year-round. Parties, events, and gatherings of non-registered guests are strictly prohibited. Quiet hours apply overnight, and noise must be kept at a reasonable level at all times. Breaching this clause allows the Host to terminate the stay immediately without refund and to charge for any resulting fines, damages, or complaints.

4. Smoking

Smoking and vaping are prohibited indoors. Evidence of indoor smoking results in a deep-cleaning and deodorizing charge.

5. Pets

Pets are only permitted at properties specifically marked as pet-friendly, and only when declared and paid for at the time of booking. Undeclared pets are treated as a breach of this agreement.

Where pets are permitted:

• Dogs only. Cats and other animals are not accepted.
• Each dog must be at least one year old.
• Non-shedding breeds only, and the dog must not chew or scratch furniture.
• A pet fee of $50 per night, per dog, is added to the booking total.
• A refundable pet damage deposit of $300 is collected before arrival and returned after check-out, less the cost of any pet-related damage — for example replacement of bedding or linens, which are replaced with new items rather than cleaned.
• Dogs must not be left unattended in the property, and waste must be cleaned up inside and outside.

6. Care of the property and damage

The Guest is responsible for the property and its contents during the stay, and for the conduct of everyone in their party. Accidental damage happens — please report it promptly and it will almost always be resolved easily. The Host may charge the payment method used for the booking for repair or replacement of damaged items, missing items, and additional cleaning required because of smoking, undeclared pets, or excessive mess. Charges are limited to documented, actual costs.

7. Payment and cancellation

Payment is taken in full at booking through Stripe. Cancellations more than 30 days before arrival are refunded in full; between 14 and 30 days, 50% is refunded; within 14 days of arrival the booking is non-refundable. If the Host cannot provide the property, the Host will offer a comparable alternative where possible or refund in full, and liability is limited to the amount paid.

8. Assumption of risk and release

The Guest is strongly encouraged to carry travel and personal liability insurance for their stay. The Host does not provide medical, travel, or personal liability coverage for guests, and any protection previously available through a booking platform does not apply to a booking made on this website.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Host's total liability arising out of or relating to the booking or the stay, whatever the cause of action, is limited to the amount the Guest actually paid for that booking. The Host is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including travel costs, lost enjoyment, or lost earnings.

10. Indemnification

The Guest agrees to indemnify and hold the Host harmless from claims, damages, fines, and reasonable legal costs arising from the acts or omissions of the Guest, anyone in their party, or anyone they invite onto the property — including injury to a visitor, damage to neighboring property, noise or nuisance fines, and violations of community rules or local ordinances.

11. Compliance

The Guest agrees to comply with all applicable local ordinances, building or community rules, and parking restrictions communicated by the Host.

12. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

13. Acceptance

Acceptance is recorded electronically at checkout together with the date, time, and IP address of the device used, and the version of this agreement in force at that moment. A copy is retained with the reservation record.
