RENTAL RULES
Grand Turk Ocean Villas Rental Rules
​
All guests agree to abide by the Rental Rules at all times while at the property and shall cause all members of the rental party and anyone else Guest permits on the property to abide by the following rules at all times while at the property.​
​​
* Term of the Lease: The lease begins at 3:00 p.m. on the “Check-in Date” and ends at 11:00 a.m. on the “Checkout Date”.
* Access: Guest shall allow property manager access to the property for purposes of repair and inspection. Property manager shall exercise this right of access in a reasonable manner.
* Occupancy: The exact number of guests planning to stay must be stated on the reservation and it's included in the rate. Any additional guest(s) must be approved by owner and would incur an additional fee of $75.00 fee per guest per night.
* Insurance: We encourage all renters to purchase traveler insurance.The villas are privately owned; the owners are not responsible for any accidents, injuries or illness that occurs while on the premises or its facilities. The Homeowners are not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest.
* Smoking: Smoking inside the villas is prohibited. If you wish to smoke, you are welcome to do outside. Please make sure you use ashtrays (conch shells make the best ash trays). Do not dispose cigarette buds in the yard or beach please.
* Non-Villa Guests: People other than those in the Guest party set forth above may not stay overnight in the property. Any other person in the property is the sole responsibility of Guest. Guests are not allowed to exceed the occupancy limit agreed on the lease. We ask our guests to be discerning about bringing non guests to the property during daytime.
* Noise: Guests should not create excessive noise at a level that disturbs neighbors. Neighborhood quiet hours are from 10:00p.m. – 8:00a.m.
​* Water: Each villa is provided with plenty of clean water for all normal washing and showering requirements. Typically, we budget up to about 5000 gallons of water per week for each guest stay and this is always more than enough for any size group. However, fresh water on Grand Turk is expensive and we therefore ask our guests not to wastewater by leaving faucets running. In the unlikely event that an extremely large quantity of water had obviously been lost due to an accidental or inadvertent action a fee may be charged, at managements discretion, of $175 USD (the cost of one truck load of 2000 gallons) to cover the cost of replacing some of the excess water lost.
* Pets: Not allowed, unless agreed in writing before arrival. Non refundable deposit of $500 required.
* AC: Please keep all doors and windows closed while the AC is on. Turn off AC while out for the day.
* Garbage: Any garbage must be stowed in the proper garbage receptacle, located at the side of the house.
* Septic Tank: The septic system is very effective; however, please DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper. No feminine products should be flushed at any time.
​
* Storms & Hurricanes:
-
Pre-arrival: you will have an option to re-book your stay to a later date.
-
Villa staying guests: as a hurricane approaches, our goal is to facilitate your evacuation. We will gladly offer a certificate for a return stay for the number of unused nights.
*Safety: Please lock all doors and windows, each time you leave and at night while you sleep. The island is safe but don’t make it easy for petty thieves.
