Rental Policies:

• Procedures for placing a reservation:  A $100.00 deposit is required to make reservation.  We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express, Money Orders or Personal or Company Checks at check-in.  If you used your credit card for your initial deposit, you are the only person who can sign our Guest Registration forms accepting responsibility for the rental unit.  If your name is on the reservation, you need to be the first to arrive and check-in, plan your arrival time accordingly.  We can not check the rest of the group in if the person whose name is on the reservation is not present to sign in.  The credit card used for deposit and drivers license of the card holder must be presented at check-in. No Exceptions!  If you forget to bring the card that you placed the reservation with, the initial deposit will be refunded in its entirety and another form of payment (Visa, MC, American Express, Discover and Traveler’s Checks, Money Order or Cash) must be received by Accommodations by Gator Point Rentals, LLC. In order to continue the check in process. The credit card used for any part of the stay must belong to the occupant of the property.  Your reservation will not be honored if the card holder is not an occupant of the property.  For larger groups wising to split the cost, please work payment out prior to check-in.  We ask that larger groups just pay the person whose name is on the reservation prior to arrival in order to prevent mass confusion at check-in.  Having one form of payment at check-in will speed up the check-in process for you. 

• Rates and Maximum Occupancy:  Rates are based on the maximum occupancy for each individual rental property and should not be exceeded.  You must provide your reservation staff member with the number of guests, including children when making your reservation.  For fire safety reasons, we must account for all individuals occupying the rental property during your stay.  If you are found having more guests that you registered for at check-in, you will be asked to vacate the premises and no monies will be refunded.
