How long are the minimum stay requirements?
Depending on the property, and the season, the minimum typically ranges from 3 to 7 days. Please speak with a vacation planner to shorten or lengthen your stay. During peak season, check-in days will vary from property to property so be sure to check the calendar.
Do you have occupancy limits?
Yes. The occupancy is based on the number of individuals the property sleeps. The maximum occupancy will be listed on the property page. This is generally 2 persons per bed (queen/king), 1 persons per bed (twin/full). The City and County have regulations in regards to maximum occupants in vacation homes and we must hold to their guidelines. If any extra guests are found to be on the premises after 9pm, they may be subject to eviction. Please see the property description or the sign posted at or near the front door to determine the maximum number of guests allowed in the home.
Can we have guests over during our stay?
The rental rates are based on a set number of occupants. Our homes are personal residences and extra occupants can cause greater wear and tear to the home, water/power and product use, and can over tax homes on septic systems. As a general rule, you may have up to 4 guests visit during the day, however they must depart no later than 9pm. Many of our homes are in quiet neighborhoods so please note that our rental agreement includes provisions against excessive noise, and a strict “no party” policy. Please let us know before booking if you have any questions or concerns about this policy and/or our rental agreement before booking.
Do you charge for additional persons?
Each property has a rental rate that includes all guests within the maximum occupancy (occupancy is listed on the property page). If additional guests are approved for your reservation a charge of $45.00 per night will be assessed to the credit card on file. Guests below age 5 will most times be exempt. Some properties are located inside developments where the HOA rules strictly prohibit ANY extra occupants, Please call to make sure extra guests are allowed at the property you desire before making the reservation.
Do you have age requirements to rent a vacation rental?
The minimum age requirement to rent a property through Windermere Vacation Rental is 25 years of age.
Can I bring my pet?
A few of our properties do allow pets. Please see the specific property listing to confirm if the property is pet friendly. A pet fee of $25.00 per pet, per night, will be applied for all pre-approved pets. In homes that do not allow pets, a $500 fine will be assessed for any unauthorized pets on the premises. Keep in mind some owners are allergic to animal fur, or have pets of their own that may want to re-mark their territory. This is a strict rule, please do not bring any unauthorized pets to avoid any further charges.
Do you charge a cleaning fee?
Yes. Cleaning fees are determined by the size of the home, the number of beds/baths, and the total hours it takes to fully prepare the property for your guest stay.
Is there daily or mid-stay housekeeping services available?

RENTALS
How do I check in to my vacation rental?
Once your reservation has been confirmed, you have signed the rental agreement that includes your guest list, and your reservation is paid in full, you will be given all you need to check in including access codes to the property. You should receive this information via email or you can download the Hospitality app to view this information.
What time can we check-in?
Check-in time is 5pm. We will do our best to give you early access to the property whenever possible. To ensure a positive guest experience, your property must be fully cleaned, restocked, and inspected prior to your arrival. In the event that these conditions are met prior to 5pm, you will be notified via email that you can check-in early. In the peak season, mainly during the Summer months, early check-in is not likely as it is probable that a guest has checked out of the property the same day.
What time must we check-out?
Check-out time is 11am. A late check out may be available for an additional fee if the property is not booked again the same day. If another reservation is coming the same day, 11am is a firm deadline.
