Frequently Asked Questions

  • These house rules are a summary. Every guest signs the Sarasota Vacation Rentals, LLC Rental Agreement before arrival. If anything here differs from your signed Rental Agreement or the property-specific terms in the listing, the Rental Agreement and listing control.
  • The primary guest must be 25 or older and must stay at the property for the entire reservation. The card holder must be the guest. Credit card verification is required for last-minute bookings.
  • Bookings for business use or contractor housing need our written approval in advance.
  • Maximum occupancy is the number shown in the listing and applies at all times. Exceeding it is a breach of the Rental Agreement and grounds for removal.
  • We are licensed under the Florida Division of Hotels and Restaurants. A serious breach of these rules or the Rental Agreement may result in removal from the property under Florida law.
  • Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM. Communities and HOAs have their own rules, and their management can enforce them.
  • Parking is limited to what the listing states. Many communities do not allow boats, trailers, motorcycles, golf carts, or oversized vehicles, including some pickup trucks. Ask us before booking.
  • Some properties require HOA approval, and the listing will say so. Your reservation is not final until the HOA approves your application, and we cannot give access before then. Allow enough time before check-in for the HOA's review.
  • No smoking or vaping of any kind in the property or on balconies, patios, or lanais. The remediation fee is $500 or the actual cost, whichever is greater.
  • Pets are allowed only at dog-friendly properties, with our approval in advance and a pet fee. Limits on number, size, and breed are in the listing and Rental Agreement. Dogs are not allowed in pools. Service animals as defined by law are welcome at every property. Please let us know in advance so we can prepare.
  • Set the air conditioning no lower than 73 degrees unless your Rental Agreement states a different setting.
  • Please do not make repairs or changes to the property. Contact us and we will handle it.
  • Pool heat at private pool homes is optional and charged separately unless the listing says it is included. Spa heat is included where the home has a private spa.
  • Things sometimes break, and we will fix or replace them as quickly as we can. Refunds for maintenance issues, outages, amenity closures, and building or community construction are covered in the Rental Agreement.
  • There is no refund for early departure except as stated in the Rental Agreement, including mandatory hurricane evacuations. We recommend travel insurance.
  • Early check-in may be available for a fee, depending on the property and the schedule. Ask us before your stay.
  • At departure, please wash your dishes or start the dishwasher and remove your food and trash. Our cleaners handle beds and laundry.

We loved it. Thank you so much for letting us stay. A few concerns thought. The door heading to the pool from the bathroom is stuck sometimes.

Another Great Stay in Sarasota
