General Terms

The following Terms and Conditions are applicable to every reservation made with Sunshine Orlando Rentals.

• The Guest is hereby granted a license to use the premises outlined in their Arrival Instructions. The Guest acknowledges that no form of tenancy has been created pursuant to Chapter 83, Florida Statutes through the Guest’s use of the house.
• Check in time is after 4PM and check out time is before 10AM. These times are strict in order to allow the cleaning crews enough time to ensure the homes are ready for your arrival, or for that of the guest arriving after you. Unauthorized early check-ins / late check-outs will result in a charge to your damage deposit.
• All Sunshine Orlando Rentals homes are NON-SMOKING. There are no exceptions to this rule.
• Many Sunshine Orlando Rentals homes are Pet Friendly; please see our pet friendly page for these homes. Unless explicitly stated, pets are not permitted.
• Guests caught smoking in homes or with unauthorized pets may be ejected from the home without compensation or refund, and an additional cleaning fee may be applied to your security deposit
• BBQ’s should only be used outside the screened area. It is the guests’ responsibility to ensure that BBQ’s are left clean
• Many homeowners keep a locked closet for personal belongings. These locked areas are not for guest use, and will not be accessible.
• The primary guest on each reservation must be at least 21 years old.
• During the rental period if any law or ordinance is broken or any drug use occurs in or near the home occupancy will be terminated without refund or compensation.
• Existing locks may not be changed. New locks may not be added and keys may not be duplicated.
• Each home shall not be used to sleep or accommodate more than the stated maximum occupancy for that home. See the maximum occupancy section of these terms for more details.
• The property must not be used for any event that exceeds the maximum occupancy of the home.
• Air Conditioning units should not be set below 74 degrees. It is understood that in general, the limitation of AC units is to cool 20 degrees less than the outside temperature. Asking the AC to cool the home more than this may result in damage to the unit and/or freezing the unit. If the unit is frozen it must be switched off to thaw which will result in no cooling in the home.

Payment Terms

• All reservations require a non-refundable deposit. Final Payment is due a minimum of 30 days prior to arrival. Final Payment will be applied to the credit card we have on file unless prior arrangements have been made.
• A Sunshine Orlando Rentals agent will contact you for final payment, but the responsibility remains with the guest to ensure that payment has been made.
• Some stays will be subject to a cleaning fee based on the number of nights reserved. This varies depending on the home reserved, please contact us for details.
• We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, wire transfers, personal and certified checks.
• Any reservations that are still outstanding less than 15 days prior to your arrival may be treated as no-shows, in such a case any and all monies will be forfeited.

Pool & Spa

According to Chapter 515.33 of the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act: Anyone tampering with or disconnecting pool alarms commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable by a $5000 fine or one (1) year in jail. Please do not tamper with the pool alarms.

Pool and spa heat costs are non-refundable. Electric pool heaters heat the pool by passing warm air over a coil. If the outside air temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit the pool heater might shut off – this is the expected actions of the heater, and is not a malfunction. If the pool heater is found to be faulty during your stay and the local management company attests to this fact, pool heat fees will be refunded to your account for the days lost.

• Pool safety fences should be left erected at all times for the safety of those in your party.
• Children should be supervised at all times whilst using the pool, spa or games room
• Pools are cleaned and chemically balanced once per week.
• Clothes, food, drink and other items should not be left in the spa.

Property Availability

In the unlikely event that the property you reserve becomes unavailable due to circumstances outside the control of Sunshine Orlando Rentals, we reserve the right to move your reservation penalty free into another home of similar size and standard. Judgment of whether the home is comparable will be at the sole discretion of Sunshine Orlando Rentals.

Compensation will not be issued to the guest under any circumstances in the case of the relocation of a booking. We reserve the right to cancel or change a reservation at any time.

Maximum Occupancy

Per Florida Law, there are limits to the number of people each home will sleep. This number is the maximum and it should not be assumed that each home has the requisite number of beds to sleep this number.

• 2 Bedroom Homes – 4 People
• 3 Bedroom Homes – 6 people
• 4 Bedroom Homes – 8 People
• 5 Bedroom Homes – 10 People
• 6 Bedroom Homes – 12 People
• 7 Bedroom Homes – 14 People

For homes larger than 7 bedrooms each additional bedroom increases the maximum occupancy by two. It should be noted that each home may use a different configuration of beds that may not necessarily work for your situation, for example a 5 bedroom home with 5 queen beds may not suit a party of 10 single adults on business – it is the guests responsibility to inform us of any special requirements regarding bed arrangements at the time of booking.

Home Protection Waiver

A fee is applied to all reservations and provides an accidental damage waiver for each reservation. This Home Protection Waiver covers all accidental or inadvertent damage to the home during your stay.

Home Protection Waiver does not cover excess trash or additional cleaning fees; it is still the guest’s responsibility to leave the home in a presentable fashion.

• All accidental damages that occur during your stay must be reported within 24hrs to be eligible.
• If there are pre-existing maintenance items in the home upon your check-in you must report them to the local property manager listed in your arrival instructions.
• Intentional damage, removing property from the rental unit or gross negligence are not covered by the Home Protection Waiver and in such cases charges will be applied against your credit card.
• The Home Protection Waiver Fee is non-refundable
• Your Reservation Total Price includes this fee.

As the guest you agree that we may charge any credit card that we have on file for your reservation in the case of damages that are caused as a result of your stay in the home that are not accidental or inadvertent in nature. It is also agreed that Sunshine Orlando Rentals shall be solely responsible for determining what is deemed as accidental. Any damages and the potential charge for such will be brought to guests' attention within 7 days of departure.

Home Protection Waiver is not an insurance policy. It is provided and administered by Sunshine Orlando Rentals.
