may not manage adjoining properties. If a neighboring property is breaking the quiet hours rules,
please contact the resort security or the non-emergency line at the county sheriff's
office.
RULES AND LAWS: The guest
must abide by all community, city, county, and state parking rules and laws. Guests must follow
posted street signs, particularly rules regarding parking as some communities do not allow street
parking overnight or require parking on a specific side of the street.
CARS: All Guest vehicles
are parked at their own risk. Luxe Ici, LLC is not responsible for towing charges, thefts, or
damages.
SUBLET: This Rental
Agreement may not be assigned, or the property sublet.
LOCKS: No locks may be
broken, changed, or added.
VIDEO RECORDING/FILMING: The property must not be used for amateur or professional video recordings without prior
written consent from Luxe Ici, LLC.
DOORS AND WINDOWS: All
doors and windows must always remain closed to avoid air conditioner/heating system malfunction. If
any doors or windows stay open for more than 5 minutes, the system will disable temporarily into
safe mode to avoid malfunction until they are closed. Also, leaving the door open is an invitation
for Florida's wildlife to come into the rental. OUTSIDE COOKING EQUIPMENT OR EXTRA
APPLIANCES such as personal grills, ovens, fridges, and freezers are not permitted to be
taken to the homes. Bringing these items may cause damage to the home. Furthermore, additional
equipment like this that the home was not designed to accommodate can cause electrical
issues.
VACANT LAND AND PROPERTIES: Vacant lots and adjacent homes next to homes are not to be used for any type of purpose,
including parking. The resort HOA may enforce the removal from the land or property of any guests
found to be using adjoining land and homes that do not belong to the homeowner.
OWNERS PERSONAL AREAS: The
owner of rental properties may maintain a locked area (such as Private closets, safes, and or
garages) in each property for the storage of their personal belongings. These locked areas are not
intended for Guest use and will not be accessible.
RV/CAMPERS/TRAILERS/TENTS: RV, campers, trailers, and tents are not allowed on or near the property, as set forth by
the individual community guidelines.
EVENTS: The rental
property is not to be used to host parties, events, or social/group gatherings. Only guests whose
names are provided on the guest list of the reservation are authorized to stay in the rental
property. Any Guest having an event, party, or social/group gathering in the property or exceeding
the number of authorized guests will be removed without a refund. Additionally, if it is discovered
upcoming Guests are hosting a party, event, or social/group gathering in one of Luxe Ici, LLC rental
properties, Luxe Ici, LLC reserves the right to cancel the reservation prior to the Guest's
stay, with recompense at Luxe Ici, LLC’s judgment.
AIR CONDITIONING: The
thermostats are open for Guests to adjust the temperature to comfort. However, when possible, the
air conditioning in any rental property should not be set by the Guest below 70 degrees Fahrenheit
or 20 degrees Celsius. Setting the thermostat to a lower temperature will not cool the property
quicker. Due to the high temperatures and humidity in Florida, sometimes it can be difficult for the
system to cool the internal temperature below this point. Setting the temperature below 70 Degrees
Fahrenheit may result in the system freezing up. If this occurs, the air conditioning will have to
be turned off to allow the unit to defrost. The Guest will have no air conditioning during this time
and will be responsible for the technician's
call-out charges. If the windows have
condensation, that is a definite sign the air conditioning temperature is set too low, and there is a
risk of freezing the air conditioning unit.
HOA RULES AND REGULATIONS:
Guests must agree and abide by all community, and Homeowner Association rules for the community in
which they are staying. Guests will be liable for parking violations, trash dumping, noise nuisance,
including large parties, and any other violations as outlined by the resort HOA. A copy of
covenants, conditions, easements, and restrictions is available upon request. Depending on the
Resort, fines per violation can be $500 with an aggregate maximum of $3,000.
Pool / Spa & Jacuzzi
Use
POOL/SPA & HEATING
OPTION: Pool heat is an optional amenity that is an additional cost to the reservation
unless noted in the reservation. Pool heat can be added to a reservation for a daily rate that
varies per home. Pool heat must be purchased for the entire duration of your stay.
When pool heat is requested by
the Guest for their reservation, the heater is turned on 24 hours prior to the Guest check-in date and
runs for approximately eight (8) hours per day. POOL/SPA HEATING OPTION: Pool heat is an optional
amenity that is an additional cost to the reservation unless noted in the reservation. Pool heat can be
added to a reservation for a daily rate that varies per home. Pool heat must be purchased for the entire
duration of your stay. When pool heat is requested by the Guest for their reservation, the heater is
turned on 24 hours prior to the Guest check-in date and runs for approximately eight (8) hours per day.
POOL AND SPA GENERAL OPERATION: When the system is in spa mode, the system will automatically adjust the valves so that
the water from the spa is returned to the spa and all pump efforts are focused on the spa jets. This
bypasses the pool, and the spa will be heated up to between 100 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. If left
in Spa mode for a long period of time, the pool will not be getting any heated water, and so the
pool will cool down.
POOL PUMPS: Pool/Spa pumps
are also controlled off-site and are set remotely to come on in the morning and go off in the
evening. This will control the flow of pool heat as well as the decorative water features like the
spa spillover or fountains.
POOL HEATER OPERATION:
Pool heaters are controlled remotely off-site. Pool heaters are set to operate in the early morning
and turn off in the evening. The use of pool heating cannot guarantee the actual temperature of the
water in the pool. The pool heater is remotely set at
86-88 degrees, and the spa is set to
100-102 degrees. However, reaching these temps is dependent upon many factors, including (for
illustration) the ambient temperatures, rains, water added during weekly
maintenance, general weather conditions, and the number of people using the pool, etc. In the
coldest winter months heating the pool can be difficult, with the water temperature dropping down
overnight.
Florida has a tropical climate, but cold
fronts can bring overnight low temperatures in the 30s and 40s that can last for several days.
Unfortunately, under these circumstances, there is no way the pool/spa heater will be able to keep the
water at a temperature in the mid to high 80s, especially where pool/spa heat is provided via an
electric heat pump if the outside air temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Electric heating pumps do not operate
effectively below this temperature, and failure of such devices to heat the pool/spa to the desired
temperature is outside of the company's control and
is regarded as an act of nature. Please
note that cold weather does NOT constitute a mechanical failure, and no refunds will be given for
problems that are due to cold weather. While all appropriate maintenance
will be taken to maintain the pool heater's proper function, it is not possible to guarantee
that the pool heating will be able to heat the water to a temperature comfortable enough to swim in
due to conditions out of our control. Despite the above elements, which are beyond the control of
the owners and managers, all efforts will be made to heat the pool when requested by guests.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The pool heats to 86-88 degrees, and a human body temp is 98.6, keeping that in mind, with the pool
heater running, you will still feel the water cool to the touch. The pool will not heat to bath
water temps, and it will not feel like a bathtub. However, the spa will always reach temps of at
least 100 to 102 when requested.
MACHINE RELIABILITY: Even with the best maintenance, machines can and do break down. If the pool heater
fails during your visit, every reasonable effort will be made to have it repaired in a timely
manner. However, neither the Owner nor Luxe Icic, LLC can be held responsible if, for reasons beyond
their control, the heating cannot be restored promptly. If it is not possible to have a repair done
in a timely manner, then a refund of the pool heat fee will be made to the Guest. The refund will be
only for the time that the pool heater was inoperable but without interest and/or other compensation
or liability for loss.
Visits / Home Entry / Access
VISITS TO THE HOME/NOTICE OF ENTRY: Luxe Ici, LLC will not enter the home without notifying the guest. Every effort will be
made to not enter the home during your stay. If entry is needed, a notice will be given to the Guest
whenever possible. However, the Guest understands and agrees Luxe Ici, LLC and/or its
representatives may need to enter the property as reasonably necessary for protection, inspection,
maintenance, repairs, or other services, viewing by prospective buyers, or for any other emergency
and with such notice as, in its sole discretion, as Luxe Ici, LLC deems appropriate.
Vacation Home Monitoring
SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY: To
provide a peaceful and positive experience, the property may or may not have Smart Home technology
installed. This proactive technology can help prevent problems before they arise. Smart Home
technology can include, remotely monitored air conditioning thermostats, remotely monitored door
locks, remotely monitored pool heater controls, and other technology that may be in your
home:
Security Cameras: Just
like hotels, for security purposes, surveillance devices, such as security cameras and smart
doorbells, may be installed on the outside of the rental property. These devices are recording and
are monitored 24/7 off-site. These will typically cover the front door and driveway of the home, and
sometimes down the sides of the home. There are no cameras inside the homes or over the pool areas
as we honor guest privacy. The resort communities may also have security cameras in place at the
resort entrance, clubhouses, pools, community areas, gates, etc.
Alarm Systems: The
vacation rental may be equipped with an alarm. Guests are encouraged to use it during the stay, but
it is not mandatory. Guests will be given the code to arm and disarm the pineland may use it as they
see fit. This unit is monitored off-site.

Basis of Rental
Each rental property comes complete with a
fully equipped kitchen including a refrigerator, freezer, oven, range, microwave, dishwasher, toaster,
coffee maker, blender, cookware, dishes, glasses, and utensils. Each Property also includes a full-size
washer and dryer, iron, and ironing board. In addition to this, properties come with bed linens and bath
towels.
While Luxe Ici, LLC tries to provide each
Guest with everything they will need, there are some items that are not provided in the rental
properties. Vacation rental properties are self-catering accommodations. Luxe Ici, LLC provides a

pods, and trash bags in all tall containers. Once these items are used, it is the guest's
responsibility to replenish them.

allowed to leave open food in the refrigerators or kitchen closets, hence, all food items will be
removed after the guest checks out and no supply of items such as condiments, coffee powder, pepper and
salt will be provided prior to check in
Luxe Ici, LLC is an independent property
management company that manages privately owned individual rental properties located within resort
communities. Luxe Ici, LLC cannot and therefore does not guarantee access to any resort amenities such
as, but not limited to, swimming pools, golf courses, fitness rooms, tennis courts, restaurants, etc.
The Guest acknowledges that Luxe Ici, LLC. is not liable if access to any such resort amenities is
restricted due to maintenance, resort policies, or any other reason
-
Check-In and
Check-Out
Check-in time is after 4:00 pm EST, and
Check-out is before 10:00 am EST. Early check-in or late check-out can be requested for an additional
charge.
Early check-in or late check-out is only
available on days when there is no other arriving or departing guests on the same day. As such, these
will be tentatively booked and confirmed only within the last 72 hours prior to arrival. It is the
Guest's responsibility to contact Luxe Ici, LLC 72 hours before arrival to confirm availability.
In the event a Guest fails to depart from
the property before 10:00 am EST with no late check- out confirmed in writing and results in Luxe Ici,
LLC being unable to clean and prepare the rental property for the next arriving guest that day, the
departing guest agrees to pay damages and costs incurred by

to moving the incoming guest to another rental property. All homes managed by Luxe Ici, LLC have

Arrival
Inspection and Pre-Existing Damage Report
The Management Company inspects the
property for damages/issues before Guest arrival, but sometimes things can happen before check-in. In
case of this unlikely event, the Guest agrees to Luxe Ici, LLC know immediately. Also, during the stay,
Luxe Ici, LLC wants to ensure everything is perfect. Notify us of anything that may need attention
during your visit.
THE BEST RULE TO FOLLOW: If you would consider calling the management company about something after you check out,
or if it would cause you to rate us less than five stars, do not wait! Notify us immediately, as we
want your stay to be nothing less than amazing.
The Guest must notify Luxe Ici, LLC within
three (3) hours of arrival if there is already any damage or notable conditions.
The Guest is responsible for the cost of
any damages sustained to the proper décor, or its contents during the stay; this includes the moving of
items to another property.
In general, the standard of all properties
is reflected in the rental price. Properties with lower nightly rates are typically older; the furniture
and contents of the property will, therefore, be subject to some age and more wear and tear from use.
Older homes may also be more susceptible to mechanical issues if items such as appliances, air
conditioning, and pool heating equipment are older. Should a mechanical issue occur, best efforts will
be made to repair or replace the unit in the shortest time.

Accidental
Damage Protection (ADP)
The Accidental Damage Protection fee for
each reservation is non-refundable and will cover reported accidental or inadvertent damages - these
must be reported immediately by email to Luxe Ici, LLC within 24 hours.

of the guest who incurred the damage.
The value of the damage protection is up to
$1,000 for condominium/townhome properties and
$1,500 for homes. Animal damage,
intentional damage, theft, or gross negligence is not covered and will result in additional costs to the

Allergens
Because it is nearly impossible for persons
who have an allergy to peanut dust to avoid triggering a reaction if peanut dust is in the air, Luxe
Ici, LLC is unable to guarantee a peanut-free or allergen-free property. Luxe Ici, LLC cannot prevent
previous guests from bringing peanuts or products containing peanuts into our properties. In addition,
Best Stay Ever Vacation Rentals LLC cannot give assurances that remnants of peanuts and/or peanut
dust/oil will not remain anywhere in the property.

property will be free of other allergens such as perfumes, lotions, cleaning solutions, etc.
Guests may not bring into the property
pesticides, bleach, sanitizers, candles, or air fragrances.
-
Insects and
Wildlife
Guests are reminded that Florida
has a tropical climate and is, therefore, home to many insects, etc. Homes are professionally treated on
a regular basis to repel such unwanted visitors, but inevitably they will occasionally find their way
into the property. The problem can be greatly reduced if doors and windows are not left open as well as
food and crumbs are not left on countertops, tables, floors, or in the pool area, and if spills are
cleaned up immediately. Guests are welcome to ask for pest services during their stay should a situation
arise.
Luxe Ici, LLC’s preventative efforts cannot
guarantee there will not be an encounter with wildlife, bugs, insects, or pests of all types. Guests
agree Luxe Ici, LLC cannot be held accountable or liable for encountering any of the above, whether
outside or inside, the rental home.
Every property is inspected to check there
are no pests present. If pests are ever suspected, the Guest must immediately contact Luxe Ici, LLC, who
will contact a third-party pest control company for further inspection and treatment if deemed
necessary.
Florida wildlife may pose
a danger. Approach all outdoor areas with caution.
Never feed or approach wildlife. All
pictures must be taken from a safe distance. Common Central Florida wildlife includes but is not limited
to, alligators, snakes, raccoons, foxes, sandhill cranes, etc. It is very dangerous to allow these
animals, and many others, to become accustomed to receiving food from humans, as it may result in future
attacks.
-Feeding of Alligators in Florida is
illegal. Statute 372.667 makes it a misdemeanor to feed Alligators.
-It is illegal to feed Racoons, Foxes, and
Sandhill Cranes - Florida Statute 68A-4.001 lists feeding these animals as a misdemeanor.

personal item behind in the rental property. Luxe Ici, LLC will do its best to locate it; however, the
Owner and the Management Company are not responsible for any losses. If the item is found, the Guest
will be advised and given the contact details of a local company that specializes in collecting and
mailing package deliveries. The Guest will be responsible for arranging collection, shipment, delivery,
and any other costs incurred.
Any unclaimed items may be donated to
charity or disposed of after 30 days.

refund due to hurricane activity. Guest is encouraged to also see Section 21 of this Agreement for

occurrences, they are strongly encouraged to purchase optional trip insurance at the time of booking.

Luxe Ici, LLC may need to prepare to the homes, whether occupied or unoccupied, for the safety of guests

gas/sewer leaks, fire, or any other damage to the property making it inhabitable or potentially
inhabitable. In the event of Force Majeure, Luxe ici, LLC will do its best to make alternative
arrangements with a comparable property for the Guest whenever possible. If Luxe Ici, LLC is unable to
do so or if the alternative arrangements are not acceptable to the Guest, then Luxe Ici, LLC will refund
all monies paid minus any already completed nights. If the Guest accepts the alternative accommodation,
they agree to relocate back to the original property when it is deemed available by Best Stay Ever
Vacation Rentals LLC. This will be the full extent of Luxe Ici, LLC’s liability to the Guest and will
not be responsible for any other costs connected with any such cancellation, howsoever arising
