We accept reservations by E-mail and telephone. When making reservations, it is helpful to know your dates of your vacation. If you have special requests or certain amenities that are necessary, please let us know at this time. While we try to always provide accurate information, please note that verbal misquotes on rental rates, property description or policies, will not be honored. Rates are subject to change until confirmed.

Confirmed Reservations

Reservations are only considered confirmed with payment of an appropriate reservation deposit (as published on our RENTAL RATES page).

Rental Discounts

Rental Discounts offered and applied to the rental fees, are applied as per the published discount offering descriptions and are not retro-active and/or additive with any other discounts offered. All discounts may be discontinued at any time prior to a Confirmed Reservation being taken. Additional and/or special discounts may be offered and/or applied at the sole discretion of FRECHETTE-VACATION-HOMES administration. In any case, any and all discounts applied will be confirmed in writing to the renter at the time that a Confirmed Reservation is made.

Cancellations / Reservation Changes

If the reservation and/or rental is canceled before the full rent is paid, the deposit is forfeited. This deposit can be applied to another rental within the same calendar year. If the rental has been paid (3 weeks prior to arrival), and then the rental is canceled, every effort will be made to re-rent the rental unit. If the unit is rented, the renter is relieved of the financial obligation and a refund will be made for the full rent. If the accommodation is not re-rented, the renter is obligated to pay the rent and tax for the dates reserved. There would be a refund of the damage and reservation deposits (which would have been applied to and/or refunded after the rental). The rental can also be re-scheduled for another time in the same calendar year for the same time period at a rate equal to or greater than the agreed rental rate.

Rental Payment

Advance payment of 100% of the total rent is required 3 weeks prior to arrival. This payment can be made in the form of a cashier's check, money order, or personal check or credit card. If the reservation occurs such that arrival will be less than 3 weeks, payment must be made by credit card. A damage deposit is due at the same time. Upon receipt of your payment, a confirmation will be sent to you. Any exceptions to the conditions and policies must be approved by us in writing.

Sales Tax

An 11.5% Florida tax is added to all reservations at the time the reservation is made. This tax applies to any and all charges and fees where applicable.

Security / Damage Deposits

If damage occurs during your stay, please let us know immediately. You are responsible for your damages and will be billed accordingly. A security/damage deposit is required in accordance to the amounts published on the RENTAL RATES page. Any damage that occurs during your stay will be deducted from your damage deposit. Damage Deposits will be refunded, promptly within 2 weeks after your departure, less any charges.
