Our cleaners have a short time to prepare the home for the next guest and these steps will ensure that they can have the home ready on time. The cleaners will provide a full clean before your arrival and after your departure, but this does not mean that the unit should not be tidied on departure. We know that you will love your vacation home and will want to care for it like your own to ensure you can come back to the same quality home year after year! For your cooperation we thank you!

Insurance
Book Disney Homes, the homeowners, property management or agents do not accept responsibility for any loss of personal items while staying in the property or after departure. It is your responsibility to take out appropriate insurance to cover all aspects of your trip, and to ensure that passports, visas and other documents are in order. Keeping valuables in the house is at your own risk, we accept no responsibility for lost or stolen property.
We highly recommend to purchase Vacation Insurance.

Damages
When guest arrives at the home, guest is responsible to inspect the property for damages. Guest must call the local office within 24 hours of arrival to report any damages found upon arrival. If there is damage to the home and it is not reported, then guest will be held responsible. If guest arrives after hours or on a weekend when the office is closed, the guest must call the Emergency Line at 321-460-3710 and leave a message listing any damage, name of guest, and property address. The time stamp on the voice mail will serve as proof of report.
Book Disney Homes shall try to correct the error within 24-48 hours without any major disadvantages for the client.

After your check out, the management team will inspect the house and notify the office of any damages to the home made during your stay. Book Disney Homes will contact you via email about any damages that were found. We will provide a detailed list along with the amount that will be charged. If you do not report damages right after arrival, then you can not dispute the company's final damage report.

Damage waiver
We understand while you are on vacation that it is your time to enjoy your family and relax. Don't let small incidental damages ruin your vacation. We know that small spills on the carpet and marks on the wall will happen. Although these are accidents, there is still a cost to correct the unintentional damage like this.
For a flat, mandatory, non-refundable $85.00 fee, minor accidental damage up to $500.00 will be waived.

If damage exceeds $500 or is deemed intentional, or the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct, this Waiver DOES NOT apply. The waiver covers ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE ONLY. For example, damage caused due to a party or damage caused because a group played paint ball in the home will NOT be covered. 
 
By making a reservation you understand that our homes are SELF-CATERING and you are responsible to provide all consumable/disposable items.

Please do not flush anything down the toilet other than toilet paper and human waste. This includes: paper towels, baby wipes, cotton balls, q-tips, hygiene products, and plastic wrappers. There will be a charge to your credit card of $95 for a plumber to come out and unblock a toilet.

Running the air conditioner while the doors or windows are open will cause the outside air conditioner unit to work overtime and possibly freeze. This will cause the air conditioner to quit working. If this happens, the guest will be charged for the repair. For the comfort of our guests we leave our air conditioner unlocked. Air conditioners should not ever be set below 72 degrees.

Pool heat
Pool heat will automatically shut off if the outdoor temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat will automatically come back on once the temperature rises back to 50 degrees. Book Disney Homes cannot override this as it is a security measure to prevent damage to the pool pump. Refunds will not be given if this occurs. If pool heat is not working correctly, then contact Book Disney Homes. If the pool heater is broken then pool heat refunds will be given for the number of days the guest is without this service. Staff must be aware of this issue when it occurs. Refunds will not be given when pool heat issues are brought to our attention after the stay. Pool heat is set between 82F-89F. We will not be able to adjust the pool heat. If you arrive and the temperature is in this range and it is not comfortable for you, then the only option is to turn the pool heat off.
Please note if the home has a Jacuzzi/Spa you must purchase pool heat for it to be warm. The pool heater heats the Jacuzzi/Spa. One cannot be heated without the other. Our staff will come to certify the pool heat temperature one time in the instance there is a question of temperature. If found to be within range they will not be able to respond again for the same issue. If you add pool heat after arrival, an additional $20 trip charge will apply for the heat to be turned on.

Pests
Florida is notorious for bugs. Our homes are sprayed monthly; however, if food is left out on the counter or if clothes are kept on the floor it will attract them.
No evidence of food and snacks must be left on pool deck and patios.
If you do experience problems with this, please contact the management company immediately.

Facilities and services
A great deal of care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of information we have provided. However, facilities and services may not be open or available due to renovation/maintenance works, adverse weather, or damage by a previous guest, that we have not had time to remedy before your arrival, etc. Where we are aware that a facility or service advertised in the information provided will not be available during the period of your stay, we will take steps, wherever possible, to notify you prior to travel.

This could cause the closure of these facilities for short periods. Some examples are but not limited to: Community swimming pools, clubhouse, pool heaters, and community Jacuzzi's. If there is a closure of these facilities during your stay, then Book Disney Homes will not be held liable or be responsible for customer refunds.
