4. Additional Information

Balance payment “due date” will be indicated on both the email receipt and written confirmation - for cheque and bank transfer payment no other reminder is issued. Payments by credit card will automatically be processed on or around the due date indicated.

Full travel and check-in details are mailed out when the balance payment has been received (usually not less than 30 days before travel)

Check-in and key or Key code collection for all homes will be via the local office of our managing agents in Florida – all guests should collect the property directions and key code information from the local office prior to proceeding to the home. Facilities for out of hours check-in collection are available in each location via a lockbox located immediately outside the local office.
Please note check-in at the office is from 4.00pm on the day of arrival.

We do not require cash or credit card charge for a security deposit – however guests will be required to provide an imprint of their credit card (visa/master card – no advance $ charge is applied) to our managing agents in Florida upon arrival. In addition and to comply with state law and Dept of Homeland Security requests, the head of the party will also be required to complete a registration form at the offices of our managing agent This requirement is mandatory and is a condition of Secret Places acceptance of your booking - it should be noted that it is the guest’s responsibility to provide this information within 48 hours of arrival.

Guests should note that for cleaning purposes, at busy times early arrival or check-in is not available.

Check out from the property is by 11.00am on the morning of departure. We kindly ask our guests who may intend to make an early departure, for their assistance in notifying the local agent the day prior to their scheduled departure. During busy times even an extra half hour can be of great assistance to the cleaning staff in preparing the house for the in-coming guests.For the privacy of all guests and the security of each home we do not advise physical addresses and telephone numbers of any property prior to the issue of travel directions.
