Privacy/Security Policy - The safety and privacy of our guests is of the utmost importance to us, and we make it our TOP priority! It is for this reason that we choose to not publicly list the addresses of our vacation homes or post photos of the fronts of the homes on our websites. We also do not give the address to potential guests or allow showings at any of the homes while they are occupied by guests. In addition, we do not place signs at the property or on the lawn to advertise our single family rental homes (these homes look like any other owner occupied home on the block with the exception of the required identification required by the city of IRB vacation rental ordinance). All of our listed homes are in Indian Rocks Beach City limits and are located between the Walsingham Causeway Bridge (688) and the Belleair Beach Causeway Bridge (686). We are happy to give you the nearest cross streets for the home's vacinity, but the exact address to the homes are only given after a lease has been signed by guest(s) and the reservation deposit has cleared the bank. This insures that we do not jeopardize our current guests security, safety or privacy by notifying the public that the home may be occupied by tourists (whom may be carrying cash or valuables such as jewelry, cameras, etc.). In addition, many vacationers leave the rental home unoccupied for long periods during the day while they are at the beach or enjoying day trips to local attractions which make the homes & your personal belongings an easy target for the small majority of criminals that are looking for vulnerable properties. This policy also protects the security/safety of the individual Owner's homes during the times the homes may be vacant. 

Noise Violation & Disturbance Policy - We are local hosts that live and work in Indian Rocks Beach and we respect our neighbors' right to quiet enjoyment of their home and property, so we take this policy very seriously!!! The host properties are located in peaceful residential neighborhoods and are best suited for relaxing family vacations, senior and snowbird holiday rentals, temporary housing or relocation, corporate business travelers & traveling nurses/doctors, or a "couple's getaway". Our hosted properties are unsuitable for guests/tenants looking to play loud music, host parties/events or entertain large groups. If guest behavior or noise results in a complaint from a neighbor or any violation or fine as set forth by the City of Indian Rocks Beach laws and ordinances, or any other violation of the rental agreement, the Sheriff will be called and you will be asked to vacate the property immediately, with no refund issued to guests/tenants. Excessive Noise Violations may also result in a citation being issued and a monetary fine being imposed upon the violator(s)/guest(s) by the City or local Sherrif. You may read the official Indian Rocks Beach Noise Ordinance/Policy in its entirety by clicking here.

Occupancy and Visitor Policy - The rental agreement specifies the exact number of adults, children and pets allowed to stay as guests in the rental unit. If a number greater than the agreed upon number or ages occurs, you will be asked to leave with no refund. If you plan to have local visitors at the home during your stay (family member/Friend), they must be listed on the rental agreement in the visitors section of the agreement. The guest signing the rental agreement assumes all responsibility for the actions and behavior of all guests, visitors, and pets and agrees to follow the rules of the property posted therein. Children under the age of 21 may not be left at the rental home or on the premises (at anytime) without parental or adult (25 years or older) supervision.

Manditory Evacuation Storm Policy - If the State or local authorities order a mandatory evacuation during a Tropical Storm or Hurricane, you must evacuate from the rental home immediately and seek shelter on higher ground in a non-evacuation zone hotel or designated storm shelter.

Smoking Policy - Many of our hosted homes have private yards, patios, or outdoor deck areas where smoking is permitted. Smoking is NOT permitted inside any of our listed homes. This policy is strictly enforced, and violation of this policy will result in immediate early termination of the lease agreement, and forfeiture of your security/damage deposit. If the lease agreement is terminated for violation of this policy, owners do not provide refunds for the remainder of the rental term. This applies to all types of smoking tobacco's & herbs. No exceptions!

Pet Policy - All pets must be listed on the rental agreement at the time of signing. Prior to your arrival owners require a note from your vet verifying that your pet is current with all of their vaccines, licenses, prescription heartworm, flea, and tick medications. In addition, all guests/tenants are personally responsible for cleaning-up after their pets (whether on the rental home property, or during a walk around the neighborhood). Your pet must be on a leash at all times when not in a designated fenced area/yard on the host property. Please crate your pet if they are destructive when left alone in unfamiliar surroundings, you are responsible for any and all damages to the property and/or extra cleaning fees that may result from your pet being destructive.

Your pet is permitted to stay alone in your rental (while you are out), if they are a NON-BARKER, but please leave on TV for company. If they are noisy when left alone, please take them with you when going out. If your pet's behaviour or excessive barking is disruptive to neighboring homeowners/tenants (is agressive,continuously barks in your unit, etc. and results in a complaint to us or local authorities), you will be asked to hire an onsite pet-sitter and/or board him/her during the remainder of your stay whenever you leave the home or you will be asked to leave/vacate the property, with no refund issued.

Pets are not allowed on Indian Rocks Beach per Sec. 74-62. - Animals. The closest pet-friendly beach is located at the Belleair Causeway Bridge which is a little over a mile from our rental homes. Service animals providing accommodation to the disabled are exempt from this section. You may read the official Indian Rocks Beach Animal/Pet Ordinance/Policy in its entirety by clicking here.

Refundable Security/Damage Deposit - All owners require a refundable security damage deposit during your stay in the rental home. This deposit is refundable after exit cleaning/ inspection/ inventory of the rental home is completed. If there has been damage caused to the home during your stay, the security/damage deposit is used to cover the cost of replacements and/or repairs. If the security/damage deposit is not enough to cover damages that have occurred, the guest will be billed and liable for the excess amount that is required to make the repairs and return the home to the condition it was in at time of guests arrival. None of our owners have ever had to keep a security/damage deposit from any of their vacation rental guests, and they hope they never have to.

Reservation Deposit Cancellation & Refund Policy - Cancellation periods are based on several factors, including: time of year, length of stay, etc. Please inquire to find out what the cancellation & refund period is for your specific desired dates and home. Refunds are not issued for early departures or late arrivals at any of the homes, for any reason.

Owner Cancellations & Refunds - Each vacation rental homeowner/landlord reserves the right to cancel guest reservations/lease agreement at any time and for any reason without being liable to Tenant/Guest for any damages or losses incurred by Guest/Tenant. If Landlord/Owner cancels the reservation/lease agreement before Tenant occupies the premises, all deposits and rental fees received by owner/landlord from Guest will be refunded in-full by landlord/owner. This is a licensed vaction rental govererned by FS 509.092. 

Right to Refuse Policy - Florida Statute 509.092 Public lodging establishments and public food service establishments; rights as private enterprises. Public lodging establishments and public food service establishments are private enterprises, and the operator has the right to refuse accommodations or service to any person who is objectionable or undesirable to the operator, but such refusal may not be based upon race, creed, color, sex, pregnancy, physical disability, or national origin.
