Fees

A non-refundable administration fee of $75.00 will be added to each reservation. A fee of $35.00 will be charged for all returned checks. Although each property will be completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. We reserve the right to change units for any reason.

Deposits & Payments

For reservations made before May 1, a deposit equal to 50% of the reservation plus the administration fee is due and payable to Sunshine Vacation Rentals at the time of booking. A credit card is required for the deposit.

Final payment is due on May 1 along with the security deposit. For reservations made on or after May 1, the entire amount, including the administration fee and security deposit, is due in full.

A 24-hour courtesy hold is available without obligation. However, once you have provided your credit card information and are given a confirmation number, your reservation is guaranteed and subject to all cancellation fees.

Security Deposit & Damage

Renter agrees to pay a security deposit of $350, which shall be in the form of a VISA or MASTERCARD authorization. Release of the deposit shall be subject to inspection of the rental property and will be returned within thirty (30) days of departure provided there is no damage or additional charges.

Renter hereby authorizes Sunshine Vacation Rentals to charge the credit card for the cost of repairs, replacement, services, telephone charges, or extra cleaning for all damage, breakage, and/or loss incurred during their stay. In the event of damage to the premises, its equipment, furniture, or carpeting, Renter shall be responsible for damage costs exceeding the security deposit, including collection costs and attorney’s fees. Documentation detailing damages and charges will be provided to the guest.

Cancellations & Refunds

A refund minus a service fee of 25% of the total rent rate can be made if and only if the property is re-rented.

• If the property is not re-rented:
• Cancellation before May 1 will result in the forfeiture of your 50% deposit.
• Cancellation on or after May 1 will result in the forfeiture of the entire rental amount.

All notices of cancellation must be in writing (no email).

Should the owner of any property elect to remove their property from our rental program, the guest shall not hold Sunshine Vacation Rentals liable. In such an instance, the guest will be relocated to comparable accommodations determined by the rental agency. If comparable accommodations are not available, the guest will receive a full refund.

Sunshine Vacation Rentals is not responsible for events beyond our control (e.g., inclement weather or maintenance issues). Optional travel insurance may be purchased at the time of making the initial reservation payment. Travel insurance guarantees that in the event of a medical emergency or weather hindrances, you will receive a full refund, less the administration fee. Please ask a reservation specialist for additional information on travel insurance.
