Rules In A Florida Vacation Villa
Copyright 2005 Chris Neilson
The answer is "yes" and "no" ! There are very few, (in fact,
I've condensed it down to just four) but ultimately it all boils
down to common sense and respect for the owners of the vacation
property.
Sounds pretty good huh ? And it is... so here are the few simple
rules that the villa owner will expect you to obey during your
occupancy.
Check In & Check Out Times :
Please adhere to the times stated on your booking forms. These
are stated for a reason and are part of the contract that you
make with the owner when you agree to book their accommodation.
Early check ins cause terrible problems for the cleaning staff,
who work like Trojans in order to ensure your first impression
is a great impression. Look at it this way... if it normally
takes the cleaners 4-5 hours to clean the villa, and you arrive
early, it is not going to make them clean any faster ! You will
not be allowed entry to the villa until the job is complete, so
if you do arrive early, take the opportunity to do a little
shopping and stock up on those daily essentials.
Likewise, late check outs cause problems as this has a knock on
effect throughout the day, as the cleaners struggle to make up
the time caused by a late check out. Imagine you were the guests
arriving on a day that the previous guests had checked out late.
And imagine how annoyed you would be if the villa wasn't ready,
just because of someone else's selfishness.
So the general rule of thumb, is to please check in and check
out on time. Remember that if you overstay your welcome, as with
hotels, you will be charged an additional fee.
Notices :
The villa owner and their management company will have gone to
great lengths to ensure that the appropriate signage is
displayed inside and outside the villa. Some people say that
these signs are insulting to their intelligence, but the bottom
line is that they are the law, and an owner can be fined if they
are not displayed. Besides which, they are there for your health
and safety, so take note of them and follow the instructions
they give.
General Behaviour :
Always remember that you are staying in a privately owned home ~
not something owned by a faceless corporation. Villa owners
spend thousands of dollars a year maintaining and upgrading
their homes to ensure that you, as guests, get the best value
for money vacation experience that you can.
Please don't disrespect the owner's property, and the trust
they
have placed in you by turning your accommodation into "dump" or
a "party house". Would you like your home and your possessions
damaged ? Of course not ! So please don't think that an owner
will feel any differently.
Report any accidents immediately to the management company.
Don't try to hide the evidence in the hope that you will get
away with it. Trust me... you wont ! Also bear in mind that if
the manager is not given time to repair damage or replace
damaged items, the next guests will have to suffer the
consequences of your actions. Put yourself in their position,
and do the right thing !
Pool Rules:
One of the greatest things about renting a private villa is the
fact that get your own private swimming pool too. However, care
must be take at all times in and around the pool, especially if
you have children in your party.
The villa owner will give specific details of pool safety in
their Welcome Folder, and you will also see signs at poolside,
which are required by Florida State Law. Please read these
carefully and follow them to the letter.
A legal requirement in a short term rental villa is the
provision of a pool alert alarm which should be fitted to any
internal door which leads out to the pool area. This alarm will
sound whenever a door is opened, and is designed to alert
parents to small children who may have entered the pool area
unnoticed. It is an excellent safety feature. An override button
on the alarm, which can be activated by adults will ensure that
the siren does not become annoying.
Many guests however simply disarm this alarm, showing total
disregard for the safety of their children. Not only is this
stupid beyond belief, but also an arrestable offence in the
State of Florida, with fines of $5,000.00 being levied against
offenders.
Again, be smart, think health and safety, and do the right thing.
And that my friends is pretty much it ! Nothing too scary or
overwhelming. Just simple common sense and courtesy. Follow
these rules and you will not only enjoy a fantastic vacation,
but you will always be welcomed back to the villa again, year
after year after year.
