US Terms & Conditions  

1.       Bookings between the owners of the property (hereafter called ‘The Letter’) and the person making the booking (hereafter called ‘The Client’) are valid after:- 

            a)   the booking form has been completed and signed and received by the Letter      

                b)    the appropriate deposit has been paid 

                c)    the booking has been confirmed in writing by the Letter to the Client 

2.          The person who signs the booking form certifies that he or she is authorised to agree the  booking conditions on behalf of all  persons included on the booking form, including those  substituted or added at a later date.  The signatory must be a member of the party occupying the property and must be 21 years or over. Bookings cannot be accepted from parties of young  people under  21 years of age. 

Bookings must be accompanied by a deposit of $200 per week booked, which is non returnable. The balance must be paid 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the vacation along with a security deposit of $300 or insurance of $39. The security deposit will be returned to the Client 21 days after the completion of the holiday as long as any keys are returned and no damage or loss is reported by the Letters Management Company. 

If the Client wishes to cancel the booking he should advise the Letter immediately by telephone followed by a confirmatory letter. Upon receipt of such notification the Letter will (without obligation to the Client) use his best endeavors to obtain a replacement letting and if such replacement is obtained will refund to the Client any monies paid less the deposit. If the Letter is not able to re-let he shall be entitled to retain all  payments already made (except the security deposit) and to recover, if not already paid, the balance of the hiring charge as follows: 

                        30—60 days notice:              50% of the rental charge.

                        Less than 30 days notice:    100% of the rental charge.

In the unlikely event that circumstances beyond the Letters control necessitate the cancellation of the rental agreement, the Letter reserves the right to cancel any bookings at anytime and will only be liable to refund monies already paid by the client. Furthermore, the Letter cannot guarantee that all the facilities described will be available.  

The Client agrees: 

No liability is accepted by the Letter for the loss of main services or failure of appliances, nor for the consequences of the actions or omissions of persons who may control supply of mains service, nor any  actions taken in the vicinity of the property by any authority over which there is no control by the Letter. 

The property is available after 4.00 pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 11.00 am on the day of departure, to allow the cleaning staff time to prepare the villa for the next guests. 

The Letter does not accept any liability for injury, damage or loss caused by any reason or for any claim made as a result of this booking and / or the subsequent vacation. The Client is responsible for taking out an adequate insurance policy (ies) to cover all risks. This waiver is also applicable to people visiting the property as guests of the Client(s). 

The Letter does not accept any liability for injury, damage or loss caused, or for any such claim by a third party as a consequence of actions by the Client(s) and other people occupying the property during the period of the Let. 

Our home has a private swimming pool which can be heated if required. This is by means of a gas water heater and a fee of $25 per day will be levied against the Client should this be required. This will keep the water to a constant temperature of 82 degrees. PLEASE NOTE: Because of   fluctuations in the price of gas, the price may change at any time.

Payments made by Paypal will incur a 4.2% fee to cover their charges to us and payments made by bank wire will incur a $14 fee to cover our bank charges.  Bank transfers are free.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT GUESTS TAKE OUT  HOLIDAY INSURANCE TO COVER CANCELLATION FEES AND ANY OTHER LOSSES WHICH MAY OCCUR
