Reservation Agreement. Guests acknowledge, understand, and agree that the moment Guests provide their credit card and reservation information, they have accepted the JeffandGinaProperties.com Rental Terms and Conditions for renting and are obligated by those Terms and Conditions, which include our cancellation policy. JeffandGinaProperties.com is authorized to charge said credit card for the Reservation Down-Payment. Teeming Vacation Rentals, LLC is the Merchant of record for all transactions for JeffandGinaProperties.com. This Down-Payment varies depending on the property, rental fees, and length of stay. The minimum Down-Payment is reflected on your booking in the Initial Payment Due and includes a nonrefundable Booking Fee. Typically, the minimum Down-Payment is $500 plus the Booking Fee or 100% of the total reservation charge. For all reservations of 28 days or more, the Down-Payment is $1000 or 25% of the total rental fee, whichever is greater. Note this is a Reservation Down-Payment and NOT a Security Deposit. The specific payment terms are included in the Reservation Confirmation.
Forms of Payment Accepted. Reservation Down-Payment must be made on Guests’ credit card. Rental Properties can be booked online with a major credit card. The Guests’ credit card must have an expiration date that extends beyond the Guests’ stay. The remaining balance is payable by “cash” (i.e. personal check, cashier’s check, certified bank check, or money order) to take advantage of the cash discount (5% discount); or by credit card (no cash discount). The total quoted is the no cash discount price. If you pay the remaining balance via “cash”, you will receive the cash discount price and the “No Cash Discount Adj” fee will be removed. If a check, money order, certified bank check, or cashier’s check is not received by the balance due date the remaining balance will be automatically charged to your credit card. By authorizing the rental down payment on your credit card, you are authorizing Jeff and Gina Properties to charge your credit card on file for the total charges on the balance due date if a check, money order, certified bank check, or cashier’s check has not been received. For reservations made within 30 days of your check-in date, payment will be collected in full at the time of booking.
Cancellation Policy. Our cancellation policy, whether paying by credit card or check is the following: The Guest has 24 hours from making the reservation to cancel the booking for a full refund. However, this waiver of the cancellation fee is not extended to last-minute reservations defined as those made less than 2 weeks before the arrival date. After 24 hours from the booking time, the deposit amount or total paid to date is forfeited as the cancellation fee. No refunds are issued for early departure and/or evictions. Since all payments after the said 24 hours are nonrefundable, we highly recommend you purchase Travel Insurance, which is just 6.95% of your trip cost and the only way to compensate Guest for trip cancellation. Written notice of cancellation, via email, at least 90 days before arrival for 4 Weeks or longer guests, and 30 days before arrival for reservations of less than a month is required. Please use an email program that requires a delivery and read receipt for your protection. JeffandGinaProperties.com has the right to cancel and open the unit up for rental if there is an unpaid balance within 30 days before arrival. If you do not receive a Cancellation Confirmation within 48 hours of notifying us, please contact us immediately. Please note, the property will be placed back on the rental market once cancellation is confirmed.
Guest Verification. Guest agrees to perform a photo verification and credit card verification online through a third party, Guest Ranger. A photo of the person on the rental agreement must match the person’s name on the credit card. These documents must be uploaded to the verification system. This process is PCI-compliant. (Payment Card Industry compliance refers to the technical and operational standards that businesses follow to secure and protect credit card data provided by cardholders and transmitted through card processing transactions.)
Things that are beyond our control. JeffandGinaProperties.com staff works very hard to ensure Guests’ stay is pleasant. However, there are things out of our control, and we cannot guarantee against such things. Examples of things beyond our control would include the breakdown of air conditioners, TVs, VCRs, electronics, and any appliances, interruptions of utilities, internet access, disturbances on nearby properties, construction noise, power or water outages, viruses, pandemics, lightning, rain, flood, red tide, inclement weather, or other natural disasters/acts of nature, etc. Guests are asked to please report any inoperative equipment to our office promptly, so we can make every reasonable effort to have repairs done quickly and efficiently. The cancellation loss due to inclement weather such as hurricanes may be avoided if “Travel Insurance” is purchased. We strongly encourage your purchase of Travel Coverage.
Termination by Owner. Should there be changes due to ownership transfers, properties being removed from rental use, or other unforeseen circumstances which make the property unrentable, Guests shall not hold JeffandGinaProperties.com liable. In such cases, Guests will be relocated to a comparable property. If no comparable properties are available, Guests will receive a full refund.
Sanitization Notice. Sanitization measures are taken very seriously and practiced in all our units. From the Department of Business and Profession Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, JeffandGinaProperties.com has a Notification of Exception to Sanitization Requirements. The Notice includes: Dishware, glassware, kitchenware, and/or utensils that have been provided in this room as a guest convenience. These items have been cleaned within this room or unit using ordinary household dishwashing facilities and agents. They have not been sanitized according to the Federal and State standards for public food service establishments. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation provides this notice as an option to comply with the notification requirements in Rule 61C-3.001(1)(b), Florida Administrative Code.
Guest Assume Responsibility for Their Choice. Rental Property is individually owned. JeffandGinaProperties.com has described the Rental Property in detail to the best of our ability (both in the property description and with a large volume of actual photographs). We attempt to guide Guests, but we cannot make the decision for them and will not be responsible if guests are not happy with their choice on arrival. The rent will not be refunded and cannot be transferred to another location.
Check-In and Check-Out. Guests’ Reservation Confirmation will be emailed after the Reservation Down-Payment has been paid. The week of the Guests’ arrival date, Check-In Documents will be emailed to Guests.
This will include instructions on how to obtain keys to Rental Property. The majority of JeffandGinaProperties.com properties are equipped with a digital key access lock and/or a LockBox, and the code will be provided in the Check-In Documents. JeffandGinaProperties.com is not responsible for Guests’ inability to locate Rental Property, work digital key access lock, or operate LockBox. Check-in is after 4:00 pm, Check-Out is before 10:00 am. Please note that the keyless entry locks are programmed to open exactly at 4:00 pm. The access code is time activated and will not open the door prior to this time. Guest, along with their entire party must vacate the property by 10:00 am, leaving the keys (along with pool tags & parking passes if applicable) on the kitchen counter and the spare key in the LockBox (if the specific property is equipped with keys). Failure to Check-Out on time could result in a $50-$100 late fee. Guests will be charged $100 for lost keys, $40 per tag for lost pool tags, and $50 per pass for lost parking passes (permanent type). If applicable, these Items will be immediately charged since they need to be available when the next guest arrives. All Rental Properties are cleaned and inspected upon Guests’ departure and any additional charges are included in their total rental fee. Late Check-Outs result in Guests being charged for a ½ day and departures later than 5:00 pm will be charged a full day’s rental rate.
Property Damage. To provide Guests with the best possible vacation experience, JeffandGinaProperties.com asks to be notified of all damages to the Property upon arrival. Any damage noticed by Guests upon arrival should be reported immediately to JeffandGinaProperties.com to avoid being erroneously charged for the repair. An active credit card on file is required to maintain both the reservation and the integrity of the Property. By accepting JeffandGinaProperties.com Rental Terms and Conditions, Guests waive their right to dispute any charges that are made to their credit card regarding this policy. Guests become financially responsible for damage to the Property and its contents (with obvious exclusions such as losses due to Acts of God and normal wear & tear) from the date and time of Check-In to the date and time of Check-Out.
Damage Waiver or Security Deposit. When Guests’ reservation is made online, the Damage Waiver is automatically charged. If Guests choose to purchase a Security Deposit in lieu of the waiver, they may contact JeffandGinaProperties.com and the applicable adjustments will be made to their booking.
Guests must select between 2 options when booking a Rental Property:
If a non-refundable Limited Damage Waiver (which is defined as a sudden and accidental event that causes property damage) is selected, then a property and duration-specific fee are added to the total reservation charge. This is a non-insured product and protects the Guests from being charged for a portion of accidental loss or damage that may occur during their occupancy. This does not include damage to the Vacation Property that is intentional, deliberate, or as a result of negligent and/or illegal behavior. The Damage Waiver does not replace or negate Guests’ responsibility for all members of their party and visiting guests as the primary renter. The Damage Waiver is forfeited if the Guests fail to comply with the Terms of this Rental Agreement; such as having an unauthorized pet, exceeding the maximum occupancy of the Property, non-compliance to Property-specific parking limits, or fail to notify JeffandGinaProperties.com of damage PRIOR to their departure. Any fees attributable to damages and/or expenses not covered under the Damage Waiver that are discovered after departure will be charged to the Guests’ credit card. Such damages and/or expenses not covered by waiver include damage due to misuse, excess laundry charge, additional cleaning charges if Property is left excessively dirty, linens that are damaged or missing, charges resulting from the eviction of the Guest by JeffandGinaProperties.com, the local law enforcement and/or Security Company and any additional services requested during occupancy. With this selection, the original Reservation Down-Payment is applied to the balance due when the final reservation payment is made by Guests. In the event that the Guests accidentally damage any real or personal property, the Damage Waiver will reimburse the private rental property owner for up to $1,000. Guests remain responsible for any accidental damage over $1,000 and hereby agree that any amounts over $1,000 will be charged to their credit card. At this point Guests should make a claim on their home insurance policy under the coverage “Damage To Property Of Others” and the coverage is usually up to $1,000. Once again, note that Damage Waiver does not include intentional damage. We require notification of any damages PRIOR to the Guest’s departure. The Damage Waiver is offered, administered, and funded by JeffandGinaProperties.com and we are solely authorized to determine the nature, extent, and expense associated with any damage.
Effective Dates: The Damage Waiver will take effect on the date and time Guests Check-In as registered Guests at the Rental Property, provided the appropriate waiver has been paid by Check-In. Termination Dates: The Damage Waiver will end on the normal Check-Out time on Guests’ scheduled Check-Out date from the Rental Property. In no event will protection be provided for a Stay longer than 180 days from the date of Check-In as a registered guest at a Rental Property.
GENERAL EXCLUSIONS
Damage Waiver benefits will not be provided for any damage due to:
(a) Natural Disaster; (b) intentional acts of Guests or guest of Guests; (c) negligence, willful and wanton conduct by Guests or guest of Guests; (d) any cause, if Guests does not report the damage to the JeffandGinaProperties.com staff PRIOR to the Termination Date; (e) normal wear and tear of the Rental Property unit; (f) loss of use of the Rental Property unit; (g) theft or damage to any property owned by or brought by Guests onto the Rental Property premises; (h) theft or damage caused by anyone visiting other than rental Guests; (i) theft without a valid police report; (j) damage without a valid police report unless the damage is caused by Guests; (k) damage or theft in a Rental Property if the number of persons occupying the unit exceeds that unit’s occupancy limit; (l) damage due to pet brought on premises during Guests’ occupancy.

Release of the deposit to Guests shall be subject to Rental Property inspection for damages. Guests are financially responsible for any and all damage to the Rental Property and its contents from the date and time they Check-In to the date and time they Check-Out. Guests are required to notify us BEFORE their departure of any damages that may have occurred. Guests hereby authorize JeffandGinaProperties.com (Teeming Vacation Rentals) to charge the credit card on file for the expenses related to replacement, repairs, associated services, excess laundry charges, extra cleaning charges, linens that are damaged or missing, charges resulting from the eviction of the Guest by JeffandGinaProperties.com, the local law enforcement and/or Security Company, any additional services requested during occupancy and ALL damage, breakage and/or loss incurred during Guests’ stay. The Guest who uses their credit card for the Reservation Down-Payment is considered the responsible party, and all necessary charges associated with their rental will be charged to their credit card on file for the Rental Property, regardless of who in the Guest’s party caused the damages. In the event of damage to the Property and property on its premises (such as its equipment, furniture, or carpeting); Guests shall be responsible for damage costs exceeding the Security Deposit, including any associated collection costs and attorney’s fees. Guests will be provided with Documentation detailing damages and charges. If repairs are required or other fees are due as a result of a Guest’s stay, all or a portion of the Security Deposit will be forfeited, and/or the Guest’s credit card will be charged for the required amount. It is further agreed that Guests’ liability shall not be limited to the loss of the Security Deposit in the event of damages for which Guests and/or their assigns are responsible for and which exceed the dollar amount of the Security Deposit.
Personal Property. JeffandGinaProperties.com will not be held responsible for any personal property left within the Rental Property.
Reservation fee. A non-refundable Reservation fee will be added to each reservation (price differs for each Property) and is non-refundable upon cancellation.
Sales & Tourist Tax/ Collection Fees. JeffandGinaProperties.com charges Sales & Tourist Tax/Collection Fees as designated on the reservation confirmation set forth above. In Florida, various taxes are charged, and taxes do vary by county. Taxes that might be charged currently or in the future include sales taxes, local option tourist development taxes, transient rental taxes, occupancy taxes, room taxes, excise taxes, value-added taxes, etc. These taxes are set and established by the state of Florida and the counties and might also include other governmental taxes. JeffandGinaProperties.com as part of your
reservation agreement undertakes all duties related to determining the exact amount of taxes to be remitted to the appropriate governmental agencies. JeffandGinaProperties.com charges a set Sales & Tourist Tax/Collection Fees and includes within that fee the total amount of tax to be remitted to the governmental agencies along with service fees for the collection efforts performed by JeffandGinaProperties.com, which efforts include not only remitting the applicable taxes due, but undertaking all responsibilities related to the determination of the amounts due, accounting fees, attorney’s fees, and all other processing fees related to any and all such taxes owed. JeffandGinaProperties.com indemnifies and holds harmless the guest as to any liability for any underpayment and this undertaking by JeffandGinaProperties.com is part of the consideration for the total Sales & Tourist Tax/Collection Fees being charged. In the state of Florida, the commissions paid to JeffandGinaProperties.com are not included within the taxable amount upon which Florida’s applicable taxes are based. Therefore, taxes are not paid on the entire rental fee charged to the guest as the taxes due under Florida law are only on the portion of the rental fee paid to the owner of the unit being rented. Guest acknowledges that the rental rates quoted to the guest include both the amounts pre-negotiated between JeffandGinaProperties.com and the unit owner and the commission paid to JeffandGinaProperties.com for all of its services for booking the reservation, which services include advertising expenses and overhead expenses related to the rental services being provided, not including the Sales & Tourist Tax/Collection Fees. You as the guest authorize JeffandGinaProperties.com to book your reservation for the total amount set forth above, which amount includes all stated charges, including, if applicable, a Rental Fee, Reservation fee, Cleaning Fee, Damage Waiver, Sales & Tourist Tax/Collection Fees and any other fees noted on page one of your reservation summary. You agree that your credit card will be charged by JeffandGinaProperties.com (Teeming Vacation Rentals, LLC as merchant of record) for the total price stated. Upon submitting your reservation request, you authorize JeffandGinaProperties.com to facilitate your reservation on your behalf, including making all payment arrangements as necessary to allow you to have full use of the property being rented. If you have made a reservation for some time period more than 60 days in advance, there could be an increase or a decrease in the applicable Sales & Tourist Tax/Collection Fee if the applicable taxing authorities adopt laws changing the applicable taxes due. In such an event, any increase or decrease will be passed on to you when the final payment for your reservation is due and will be noted on your final reservation confirmation.
Additional Fees. In the event that Guests’ check is returned for insufficient funds or a closed account, an additional $50 Return Check Fee will be added to the total charges. Excessive Laundry Loads will incur an additional $30 per load charge added to the quoted cleaning charge (standard cleaning fee includes laundering of one sheet set for each bed and towel bath sets equivalent to the maximum occupancy of the property). If beach towels are provided with your Rental Property, all of the used beach towels should be washed and dried prior to Guests’ departure. Failure to do so will incur a $50 beach towel laundering charge. Note that Guests are not limited to the amount of wash done during their stay only to the amount left for the Cleaning Crew. All dishes must be left clean either in the dishwasher or beside the sink (if no dishwasher) and CLEAN. They do not have to be put up but must be clean. If any dirty dishes are left, there is a $20 Charge. Guests are staying in a privately owned residence and are asked to treat it as they would want someone to treat their own home. If Guests leave the property in poor condition, JeffandGinaProperties.com reserves the right to charge Guests’ credit cards for any additional cleaning deemed necessary by Cleaning Crew. Guests will be supplied pictures for review.
Frivolous Repair Calls. JeffandGinaProperties.com experiences repeated calls for repairs that are due to guest misuse or unfamiliarity with amenities and understanding of operating equipment such as cable TV, Internet router, keyless entry lock, and key LockBox. Often the problem can be solved by following the phone instructions of our staff. If Guests represent that the problem persists after being given instructions, repair or maintenance personnel will be dispatched. If the personnel discover that the problem is due to user error, Guests’ abuse, misuse, or negligence; Guests will be responsible for the service bill. JeffandGinaProperties.com is not responsible for Guests’ inability to operate the equipment.
Transfer Fee. When Guests book a Rental Property, the property’s calendar is updated online, and the time period of the reservation is blocked off. The Rental Property owner is notified of the reservation, counts on the rental revenue, and gives up any future potential guest since their property is now listed as unavailable. Thus, the only allowable transfer is if the Guests are requesting to transfer their original dates to different dates in the same unit/Rental Property. In this case, we charge Guests a $199 Transfer Fee to move to different dates and a price adjustment may also be necessary based on the rental rate of the newly requested dates for the Rental Property. Transfer requests must be made at least 90 days prior to the Guest’s scheduled arrival date. After that time, transfer requests cannot be honored.
Rescheduling Fee. When Guests book a Rental Property, freshen-up and/or departure cleans are scheduled, LockBox key codes are provided, or keyless entry code access is determined based on previously arranged Check-in & Check-out dates and times. If Guests wish to change and/or extend original reservation dates, they must contact JeffandGinaProperties.com for approval. There may be a Rescheduling Fee added to the total reservation charged.
Hurricane Policy. JeffandGinaProperties.com is not held responsible for events out of our control, such as inclement weather, maintenance issues, and general Acts of God. JeffandGinaProperties.com has partnered with Rental Guardian Travel Insurance to provide our Guests with travel insurance, which protects Guests against trip cancellation or trip interruption. The travel insurance fee is non-refundable and highly recommended by JeffandGinaProperties.com. Should Guests opt not to purchase travel insurance, they should be aware that no refunds will be available for unforeseen developments such as illnesses, mandatory hurricane evacuations, and the like. Please note that without Travel Insurance Guests’ trip investment could be lost.
Travel Insurance. Although this protection plan is optional, it is strongly recommended by JeffandGinaProperties.com. The Travel Insurance is offered and administered by Rental Guardian Travel Insurance and covers a variety of travel problems, subject to the policy terms and limitations. Guests acknowledge that JeffandGinaProperties.com will not provide refunds, compensation, alternate accommodations, or discounts for vacation interruption or cancellation for any reason including but not limited to hurricane evacuations, inclement weather, natural disasters, or sickness. Any changes to a Guest’s situation or occurrences outside of the property rental contract have no effect on the legally binding rental agreement. Travel plans change, medical situations arise, and natural disasters and pandemics occur. It is not the responsibility of JeffandGinaProperties.com and the property owners we represent to absorb a Guest’s financial loss or make any considerations for a Guest where there is a financial loss to JeffandGinaProperties.com.
Minimum Age and Usage. JeffandGinaProperties.com is a family rental home business and does not rent to vacationing college students or young adults unaccompanied by a responsible parent or guardian unless specifically approved. JeffandGinaProperties.com requires a Minimum Age of 25 for guests to enter into a Reservation Agreement (all guests need to be 25 or older if not a family). JeffandGinaProperties.com can alter this policy at the property owner’s instructions at any time. We reserve the right to cancel/terminate or reject reservations if made under false pretenses. Violations of this policy will result in immediate eviction. Usage of the Vacation Rental Property for large gatherings, house parties, family reunions, weddings, etc. is absolutely not allowed. Additional fees for special events may apply. Sub-letting is not permitted.
Maximum Occupancy differs for each Rental Property and is listed on property information. Sleeper sofas, bunk beds, and daybeds with trundles are intended to be used by small children. This rule applies to day visitors and children as well. Unless otherwise approved by JeffandGinaProperties.com, occupancy over the indicated capacity may result in eviction and forfeiture of all amounts paid. Note, many of our rental properties are in condominium complexes with limited parking and cannot accommodate large gatherings or multiple cars, so maximum occupancy rules must be observed.
Minimum Stay Requirements/Association Rules. Most individual communities, homeowners or condominium associations have unique rules and regulations that become part of the Guests’ Terms and Conditions of Occupancy. If applicable, association/complex rules are provided to Guest in Check-in Documents. One of these rules for many associations is minimum stay and/or term requirements. Likewise, some cities, towns or counties have ordinances or regulations requiring minimum terms or periods for vacation rentals. For example, some of our rental properties are daily, while others are weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, etc. Due to the properties’ individual rental restrictions, there is only one reservation, booking arrangement, or any other occupancy agreement for compensation addressing or overlapping any period of less than the respective rental restrictions days (i.e. 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 1 calendar month…). Base rental rates of each individual property reflect these rental restrictions and limitations of one guest reservation for the applicable time period. Although the signed lease with an individual complex reflects the time period reserved for guests (which at the least will be the minimum stay and/or term requirement). If you are booking a unit with a minimum stay and/or requirement, you will sign a lease for the minimum stay and/or term period and you will be entitled to stay for the entire minimum stay and/or term period. Scheduled departure clean date and keyless entry code access are determined based on previously arranged Check-out dates and time. Guests may elect to extend their stay with prior notification and approval of JeffandGinaProperties.com.
Right of Entry. JeffandGinaProperties.com reserves the right to enter Rental Property to investigate disturbances, check occupancy, make repairs, and improvements as they deem necessary.
Repairs Needed. If the Rental Property or any of the contents are damaged, not working or otherwise in need of repair and replacement, the Guests should promptly notify JeffandGinaProperties.com. JeffandGinaProperties.com will have a reasonable amount of time to make repairs. If the Guests must vacate premises because of damage not resulting from the Guest’s act or neglect,
the Guests will be refunded the rent for such period of time that the Guests are unable to occupy the Rental Property, prorated on a per diem basis commencing on the date that the Guests were forced to vacate and calculated to the date on which the Guests were able to re-occupy the Rental Property or the end of the rental period, up to the date of destruction. JeffandGinaProperties.com is not responsible for any inconvenience or interruption of services due to repairs, improvements, or any reason beyond JeffandGinaProperties.com’s control, and no refund will be given in this event. Guests understand and agree that JeffandGinaProperties.com representatives may enter the Rental Property at any time for the purpose of making needed repairs.
Construction. JeffandGinaProperties.com cannot predict construction plans in the area or in individual units within a condominium complex in the same building as the Rental Property and has no control over construction noise. Guests may reserve a Rental Property at a time when there is no construction in progress nearby, but construction could begin prior to Guests’ arrival. We regret any inconvenience but cannot control these situations. Refunds, discounts, or relocations cannot be considered due to nearby construction.
Pet Policy. Pet Policy is set by each individual owner and unique (e.g. number, weight…) to the Rental Property. This will include an additional non-refundable pet fee PER PET (no cats allowed). A maximum of 2 dogs are allowed. See individual property listing for information. Condo associations also have limits on pets and pets’ weight. Condo associations can evict Guests’ pet if it does not meet their rules. Every Pet must be disclosed to JeffandGinaProperties.com prior to Guests’ arrival and the weight and breed of dog must be approved by JeffandGinaProperties.com. If Guests come with an unapproved pet they will be charged a $500 pet fee and JeffandGinaProperties.com reserves the right to terminate this Reservation Agreement, and require pets and/or Guests to vacate the premises immediately. This is a nonnegotiable breach of JeffandGinaProperties.com rental terms.
Here is a list of breeds that we DO NOT allow; Akita, Australian Blue Heeler, Boxer, Bull Mastiffs, Chow, Dalmatian, Doberman, English Bulldog, Great Dane, Husky (any type), Malamute, Mastiff (any variation), Pit Bulls, Presa Canarios, Rottweiler, Saint Bernard, Wolf-dog Hybrid. We reserve the right to decline any dog for any reason. If any dog is deemed to be a threat OR nuisance, Jeff and Gina Properties reserves the right to evict the pet and/or the party at any time. Dogs must be at least 12 months old, house-broken, neutered or spayed. Pets shall be at all times secured within the property lines or on a leash but shall not be tethered.
Non-Smoking – No Exceptions. All JeffandGinaProperties.com Properties are non-smoking. There are no exceptions, and this includes smoking on balconies or patios. Upon Guests’ departure if evidence of smoking exists, Guests’ credit card on file will be charged $500. Violations may also result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of rent.
Internet Service. The majority of Rental Properties have free Internet provided (check property amenities list). JeffandGinaProperties.com does NOT provide Internet support and/or troubleshooting. Likewise, please do not call us with any questions with PSP, Xbox, or any other gaming machine.
No Lockout Service. The majority of JeffandGinaProperties.com properties are equipped with a LockBox and the key code will be provided in the Check-In information. After checking in, Guests should replace the key in the LockBox. There is NO Lockout Service provided by JeffandGinaProperties.com. In the event JeffandGinaProperties.com has to provide entry for Guests, a $75 fee will be charged to Guests’ credit card on file (note fee could change based on location and time). Keys for day-to-day use, are located inside the property.
Lost and Found. JeffandGinaProperties.com is not responsible for any lost, left, stolen, or damaged personal items. If Guests have lost or left an item during their stay, please complete the “Lost or Left Items” form by clicking on the link at the bottom of our website as soon as possible. At no point does JeffandGinaProperties.com assume liability for any item or for the condition of said item. If the lost or left item is discovered, we will contact you for item verification before proceeding with shipping. We will charge your credit card for the shipping and handling expenses for the return of the left item and ship your item to the address provided on the form. You will be responsible for paying for any and all shipping charges plus a $59 handling fee (consider that sometimes it costs more to return your property than it is actually worth). Note: Prescription Drugs do not qualify for our shipping services (i.e. mailing of prescription drugs is only allowed by entities that are registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration). These items must be picked up in person by the Authorized Prescription Holder within 30 Days.
Linens/Towels/Supplies. For Guests’ convenience, all JeffandGinaProperties.com properties are equipped with fresh bed linens and towels. Beach towels are also provided in the majority of our properties. This is a complimentary service provided to our guests to eliminate the need for extra luggage and additional hassles. (Who wants to pack linens & towels and make beds when they arrive at their vacation rental?) However, as guests, Guests are responsible for any damaged or missing linens that occur during their stay. (Note Damage Waiver excludes linens and towels that are lost or damaged.) Our properties feature high-quality bed linens and towels and an inventory will be taken after Guests check out. Guests will be charged for each damaged or missing linen.
All properties are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. Initial set up supplies such as soap and toilet paper should be furnished in the property, however, this cannot be guaranteed. In general, Guests will need to provide their own paper items and cleaning supplies. Our vacation properties are self-catering accommodations.
Leave All Doors and/or Windows Closed in Coastal Locations. Due to the salt content of the air in Coastal Locations using the doors and/or windows for ventilation is prohibited in these areas. Since the salt air will damage everything inside the Rental Property, NO windows or doors can be left open in these locations. JeffandGinaProperties.com appreciates Guests’ cooperation in this matter as we seek to protect the quality of the Vacation Rental Properties we represent. Also, in Florida markets thermostats CANNOT be set below 72 degrees. As a rule, this may cause the coils to freeze over, resulting in an inoperable system. If the thermostat is set below 72 degrees, Guests will be responsible for repairs and/or loss of their Security Deposit. This is considered intentional damage and not covered under the Damage Waiver.
Grills & Fryers. Some JeffandGinaProperties.com properties provide a charcoal or gas grill for our guests to use while occupying the property (see listing for each property to verify if provided). Guests are responsible for cleaning and removing the remnants from around and on the grill after usage. Grills are not permitted to be moved or placed on decks or balconies of the Rental Property due to the hazard of fire. Grills should only be used away from the Rental Property and out from under any cover or overhang. Large propane deep fryers are not allowed to be used at any JeffandGinaProperties.com Rental Properties or condo complexes of properties.
Additional Provisions. In case of emergency, JeffandGinaProperties.com representatives may enter the premises at any time, making their best efforts to give 24-hour notice for routine maintenance. Some condominium complexes require parking passes to be issued to owners, renters, and guests. Guests must review and print the specific Check-In documents for the Property sent prior to arrival. Bring these documents with you to Property. Also, some condominium complexes require pool passes to be issued to Guests, and this is beyond the control of JeffandGinaProperties.com (check Check-In Documents). Upon arrival, if the condo office is closed, Guests can secure passes the next time the office is open. The individual condominium rules are in Check-In Documents.
Condo Complex Office. JeffandGinaProperties.com is the rental agent for this property (not the condo complex office). Guests should NOT CONTACT the condo office should a problem arise inside the unit. Contact JeffandGinaProperties.com for assistance with any issues regarding your rental.
Rights of Tenants/Guests. Florida Law 718.106 requires that renters/tenants/guests assume “all use rights in the association property and those common elements otherwise readily available for use generally by unit owners” and the responsibilities of the Rental Property owner. All members of the Guests’ party have the right to use all amenities in the complex. No common area amenity can have restricted access for anyone based on age, race, and religion per Federal HUD Law.
Good Neighbor Policy. JeffandGinaProperties.com Vacation Rentals homes are located in mixed-use neighborhoods that include both short-term Guests and year-round residents. We request that Guests be considerate of the neighbors with their noise and activities. We want Guests to enjoy their stay, but not at the expense of the neighbors. Guests must conform to all rules and regulations of the property and city (including but not limited to proper garbage disposal, excessive noise, public nuisance, parking, and pet policies…). Violators are subject to eviction. Parking is limited at most properties, and many don’t allow parking on the street. Some complexes or homes allow trailer parking. Please see the individual amenities of each property.
Indemnification and Hold Harmless.
