Security/Breakages Bond

  • A refundable security deposit of £200/$400 must be paid with the final balance.
  • This security deposit of £200/$400 will be repaid to your party leader by cheque, within 30 days of your departure, providing the local management company have reported no breakages/losses and you have returned the key as requested.

Receipts for repairs/replacements will be provided in the unlikely event that such retention of the security deposit is required.
  • 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/$300 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 our management company immediately and they will allow you re-entry into the house. Unfortunately you will incur a small charge for their service depending on the call out time ($25 in office hours, $100 out of office hours).

  • We reserve the right to pursue a quest for recompense for any and all damages/losses 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.
