Florida Law defines a short term “Vacation Home” as a property that rents for less than 5 months. Anything longer is considered to be long term and is governed by a different series of laws.

Elite Property Services & Mgmt Inc does not deal with long term rentals.

NO. Once payment has been received clients are then sent the appropriate access code to your property as well as directions direct to property. There may be also if necessary, include security gate codes, if your home is located in a gated community. Once you have received this information you go direct to property.
How do I get the key to my house?
Once payment has been received you are then sent your access code. This will access the lock box at the home, which contains the key to that property. All keys must be returned back to the key box on departure. Failure to do this will result in an automatic charge of $ 25 will be charged to your credit card on file.
When can I have the address and telephone number of the vacation home?
We do not offer the address and telephone number of any vacation home until client has 100% paid for their vacation which is one month before arrival and has completed the booking form and returned to our office before we can release confidential information.
What time is check out, and what do I need to do to check-out?
Just make sure to lock up, be sure to return the house key to the lock box to avoid unnecessary charges to the security deposit, and have a SAFE JOURNEY HOME. Please also make sure to check that you have packed all your personal belongings. Unfortunately, the management company/Owner cannot be held responsible for any items left behind.
What happens if I do leave personal items behind?
The Owner/Management Company cannot be held responsible for personal items left in the homes once you have checked out and left the area. If you should leave something behind and is found and you contact us within 72hrs after you've check out we will be happy to ship the items to you. However, you would be responsible for the cost of shipping. We do not have the space available to store items left behind. If no one claims them unfortunately we must dispose of them.

An Executive home will include at least one of the above mentioned amenities, and it may have more than one or all these amenities.

NO - Upon check out each home is professionally cleaned. If smoke odors prevail then we do our best to clean the odor.

Some of the homes have a Jacuzzi or Spa but NO hot tubs. The Jacuzzi is built into the pool and are only heated if the pool is heated ( i.e. you have purchased pool heat or the water is already heated due to warmer summer temperatures). Some homes have Spa's which is also built into the pool and can be heated separately from the pool if you just require the spa.( you will need to purchase spa heat or if you wish for pool and spa heat this also can be provided at the rates quoted on web site www.disneyorlandohomes.com
What is the cancellation policy?
Upon making a reservation $ 200 is required which acts as a cancellation fee if reservation is cancelled. If so then payment is not returned. If booking is continued then payment goes towards the balance of the vacation. We strongly advise clients to take out insurance to cover any cancellation charges and the normal travel insurance cover in respect of illness, injury etc.
How large a rental home should I have?
Vacation Homes are governed by the State of Florida’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants along with local county governments. To determine the amount of persons allowed in each home us this formula.

2 persons per bedroom + 2 additional persons on sleeper sofa ( not all homes have a sleeper sofa).

3 bedroom = sleeps up to 8 people
4 bedroom = sleeps up to 10 people
5 bedroom = sleeps up to 12 people
6 bedroom = sleeps up to 14 people
7 bedroom = sleeps up to 14 people

Florida Law ( Stature509) does not allow more than 14 individuals in any single home. No matter how many bedrooms may exists.
What happens if the extra guests are children who can sleep on the floor or in sleeping bags?
Florida Law allows us to IMMEDIATELY EVICT GUESTS who violate these laws with no opportunity for compensation.
How many vehicles are permitted at each rental home. Is a motor home allowed?
A maximum of 4 vehicles are allowed at any single home in the Central-Florida area. Under Osceola County law, trailers (such as boat and moving trailers), motor homes and similar vehicles are not permitted in residential neighborhoods except by special permit.
