(If you contact me directly, we do
all this in a one-page letter.)
Reservations of 30 days: A booking deposit
of 50% is due upon booking and payment in full is due on arrival.
Reservations greater than 30 days: A booking deposit of 50%
of one months rent upon booking, balance due on arrival, balance due
on arrival. Booking deposit may be negotiated on a case-by-case basis for
frequent and repeat tenants.
Reservations greater than 90 days may make payment arrangements on a
case-by-case basis for fourth month and beyond.
All payments should be by check and in U.S. Dollars
There may be a refundable security deposit of $255 required. Deposit must be paid by
check, cashiers check, or money order. Deposit is normally due within 10 days of
booking. Deposit is fully refundable 7 to 21 days after departure. Please review
policies below for details.
NOTE: NO SMOKING If you smoke in a unit your
deposit is forfeited.
DRUGS: No
illegal drugs, substances, underage drinking, manufacture or selling of illegal
drugs, etc., is tolerated
If you cancel within the time allotted, our minimum cancellation fee is
$40.00 and maximum for a last minute cancellation could be 1-months rent.
Each cancellation is different. We pledge to do our best to work with you on
an individual basis using the below guidelines.
Cancellations should be made as far in advance as possible, but not less than
30 before your arrival. Inadequate notice or no-shows forfeit all moneys paid.
If you do not cancel within the allotted time, you will be charged a 20%
booking fee, plus all moneys paid to date will be forfeited unless we are able
to re-rent the property. If we are able to re-rent the property, and we will do
our best to do so, and the new rental is less than your original rental, you
will be refunded the difference less 10%, plus any cleaning or concierge
expenses incurred and a $40.00 transaction fee.
You must be at least 25 years of age to sign our vacation rental contract and
to occupy said vacation rental property. Each property has a maximum occupancy,
generally two per room. Undisclosed guests will result in loss of rental fees
paid, complete forfeiture of security deposit, and all guests being evicted.
Guests that disturb the peace and quiet of neighbors will be evicted with no
refund of rental fees paid and may forfeit a portion or all of refundable
deposit. We are not responsible for accidents, injuries, loss of money, jewelry,
or valuables of any kind.
If staying for 90 days or more, the guest will be required to put down a utility deposit of
$200.00. This deposit will be used to pay monthly gas and electric bills that
combined, exceed $200.00 per month. This deposit must be replenished each month
as it is used.
We love our pets as much as you love yours and understand that sometimes
fluffy or fido simply has to come along! You must inform us if you wish to bring
your dog. We will request information about your dog and procure approval prior
to confirming your reservation. An additional pet deposit or pet charge may
apply. If you bring a pet without prior approval, entire deposit is forfeited
and you may be subject to additional fees, so be sure to tell us if you plan to
bring your dog. Dogs MUST be on a leash at all times when outside, and you MUST
clean up any dog doodoo anywhere on Esprit property.
Sorry, our standard policy is no cats, but sometimes we are able to say yes!
It is much more difficult to obtain approval for fluffy. Generally, an
additional deposit will be required and a pet charge may also be applied. If you
bring a pet without prior approval, entire deposit is forfeited and you may be
subject to additional fees, so be sure to tell us if you plan to bring your cat.
A telephone is available in the condo for your use for
local calls and in the event of an emergency. If you use it for long distance,
please use a long distance dialing card. You are responsible for any toll calls billed to the
condo while you are the tenant. This will be deducted from any deposits made
during the rental period.
