Please review all information to verify its accuracy. Notify us immediately if you note any discrepancies. Please note this is only a reservation request and is not confirmed until we have verified availability and charged your payment. This Terms & Conditions of Vacation Rental Agreement is a legal agreement (this “agreement”) between you (“you”, “your” or “guests” means the undersigned renter, members of your party/group, and/or any of their guests) and Orlando Vacation Homes 360, Inc. for a short-term vacation rental.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURES:
Check-in time is after 4:00 PM. Check-out is no later than 10:00 AM. Late checkout without prior approval and payment of an additional fee will incur an additional full day’s rent, which will be charged as a damage cost against your deposit. Early check-in or late check-out can be coordinated in advance for an additional fee.
OCCUPANCY:
All properties are non-smoking. Evidence of smoking will result in your immediate eviction and forfeiture of all amounts paid and will result in additional cleaning fee to the guest that will be charged as a damage cost against the deposit. Pets are not permitted. Any trace of pet odors will also result in additional cleaning charges (minimum $150 to shampoo carpets and wipe down walls) up to $500. Parties and gatherings (other than with registered occupants) are not permitted and will be grounds for eviction. The maximum occupancy of your home is based on 2 per bedroom and two extra for the living room i.e. 4 bedrooms allows you to have up to 10 people maximum in the home at any one time (includes the yard and pool areas). Exceeding the maximum occupancy is grounds for immediate eviction.
- State law dictates that your occupancy may not exceed the maximum occupancy posted for each home (generally 2 people per bedroom plus an additional 2 persons). Infants, children, and overnight guests are counted towards maximum occupancy. Occupancy exceeding the maximum limit will result in your immediate eviction and forfeiture of all amounts paid. In Vista Cay we allow six people maximum.

CAUSE FOR EVICTION:
All guests will be subject to immediate eviction from the vacation rental you, if any guest violates any terms of this agreement, including but not limited to, violation of the occupancy limits, pet provision, smoking, noise, and/or vandalism.

FALSIFIED RESERVATIONS:
Any reservation obtained under false pretense will be subject to forfeiture of the reservation deposit and all other amounts paid, and such party will not be permitted to check-in and/or will be subject to immediate eviction with the forfeiture of all amounts paid.
ATTORNEYS FEES:
If Orlando Vacation Homes 360, Inc. employs the services of an attorney to enforce any conditions of this agreement, to collect any amounts due, any eviction, or because you take any action to recover deposits not due, you will be liable to us for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by us.
