Terms & Conditions for the Anna Maria Beach Resort

This Short Term Rental Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between Anna Maria Beach Resort (AMI Beach Resort LLC “Manager”) and Registered Guest. The parties hereby agree as follows:

A processed payment constitutes acceptance of reservations terms not signature status for acceptance.

Room Type: 

Guest agrees that they are booking a room type based on size. While all efforts are made to accommodate specific room requests these cannot and will not be guaranteed and reservations may be moved to a comparable room type.

Term of the Lease:

The lease begins at 4 pm on the “Check-in Date” and ends at 10 am on the “Check-out Date” listed on Booking Confirmation (unless previously arranged) and will be strictly enforced in order to allow time for housekeeping to clean property adequately between guests. Early check in and late check outs are subject to availability and cannot and will not be guaranteed. All Transactions will be governed by the state of Florida.

Guest Restrictions & Maximum Occupancy: 

Registered Guest must be at least 25 years of age.
Guests must be able to provide photo identification at any time before or during stay.

Base / Maximum Occupancy is as follows:

Maximum Occupancy for all room types is 5 people.
Additional occupants above base occupancy are subject to additional fee. Children 2 years and younger are not included in occupancy requirements.

Payment Policy & Schedule:

To secure the booking, a one-night room payment, fees, and tax are due at the time of booking. The remaining balance is upon check-in. Rates are subject to change until the reservation is confirmed. No dates will be held for reservation requests in which no deposit has been paid. Reservations are only confirmed upon receipt of deposit and Booking Confirmation. It is the guest's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the confirmed dates. After a booking is confirmed, rates or dates of the reservation will not be adjusted for any newly published rates applicable to dates of existing reservations.

When reservations are booked and paid directly through a third-party website, any additional payments due will be requested and must be paid through the website used to book. Any payment schedules agreed upon during booking supersede the payment schedule listed here. Service fees depend on a website used to book reservations and are paid directly to the website at the time of booking and not paid to the owner/manager. As a result, the total amount due included in the Booking Confirmation does NOT include service fees, nor can these be refunded or adjusted by the Manager. For any additional payments required, you will be emailed reminders from the site in which you booked which includes link to submit payment close to your due date. It is your responsibility to submit the remaining balances due by the due date. We require a credit card on file prior to or on arrival for any incidentals.

Rates & Fees:

All rental rates are charged on a nightly basis.

  • Additional occupants exceeding the base occupancy number per room type are subject to a $25/per person per night fee.
  • Resort fee in the amount of 12% of rental rate is required for all reservations. This fee includes the following amenities: departure clean, parking, pool access, laundry, clean linen service, wireless internet, cable television, local phone service, beach chairs, towels and umbrella for personal use, and basic amenities starter set in room upon arrival.
  • Evidence of smoking in rooms is subject to fee of $250 for additional cleaning.

Taxes:

Florida sales (7%) and Manatee County (5%) taxes are collected (12% total) on all rental rates & fees. In the event of any tax law changes applicable for the reservation dates, the guest is responsible to pay the monetary difference that may occur. These changes can affect reservations already paid in full and guest is responsible to pay the additional fees should they occur. Third party websites may collect a portion or all of these taxes and therefore Grand Totals provided in agreement may differ than those provided by third party website in which you booked. See Booking Confirmation for details.

Cancellation Policy:

 7 Days Cancellation Policy. The card used to secure the reservation will be charged one-night room, tax, and fees upon booking. Cancel for free up to 7 days before check-in by 4 pm hotel local time. After that, one night's charge, tax, and fees will apply for late cancellation. Prepaid and advance purchase reservations are non-refundable and subject to offer terms and conditions at the time of booking. The balance of the reservation fee will be charged to the card on file upon arrival. No show, late arrival, or early check-out are subject to all room night charges, taxes, and fees applicable to the original reservation. The loss can be avoided if travel insurance was purchased and the reason for cancellation is covered under the travel insurance policy. In the event of an Act of God such as adverse weather, tornadoes, fire, lightning strikes, etc., the management and owners are not responsible for any refunds from monies which have been paid to Anna Maria Beach Resort. Manager/Owner reserves the right to cancel any reservation for any reason subject to issuing a full refund without penalty or responsibility for providing lodging elsewhere.

HURRICANES/WEATHER/NATURE/ACTS OF GOD:

In the event of an Act of God such as adverse weather, tornadoes, fire, lightning strikes, or otherwise, Anna Maria Beach Resort, its affiliates and owners are not responsible for any refunds from monies which have been paid to Anna Maria Beach Resort, or for providing lodging elsewhere. In the event of mandatory or voluntary evacuation, or a travel advisory, refunds are not issued. We strongly advise you to purchase the appropriate Travel/Trip Insurance to protect your investment and ensure suitable coverage from the insurance you purchase. Refunds will only be issued if the guest has purchased insurance coverage (which included the respective and required coverage for their specific claim). If a hurricane threatens the area, and a voluntary or mandatory evacuation is issued, our office will close, and all guests will be required to leave the island. Items left are not the responsibility of Anna Maria Beach Resort or our owners.

DISPUTES:

I understand that if there are ANY disputes or dissatisfaction regarding the vacation rental property paid herein, that said dispute should be taken up directly with Anna Maria Beach Resort. I agree that I will not request a chargeback or credit to my credit card in connection with any charge made pursuant to this agreement. ANY credit card dispute that is received, the associated reservation(s) will be cancelled and any funds will be retained by Anna Maria Beach Resort. I hereby expressly waive my rights to request any chargeback against Anna Maria Beach Resort now or in the future. All complaints must be reported during the customer’s stay and not after departing the property.

BED BUGS:

All of our rooms are inspected by a certified bed bug inspector and they are free of any bed bugs. This inspection is done prior to every arrival. If bed bugs are found, or the effects of bed bugs are noted, after this inspection, it is presumed that these bed bugs were brought into the home by the guest until the guest can show clear and convincing evidence to show otherwise. The treatment to exterminate these bed bugs will be at the guest’s expense.

REFUNDS:

Refunds issued by Anna Maria Beach Resort will be submitted and/or processed no more than 30 days after departure date of original stay. Anna Maria Beach Resort WILL NOT issue a refund to a guest unless the guest notifies Anna Maria Beach Resort of the complaint immediately during their stay, while they are still on property; thus, providing Anna Maria Beach Resort the opportunity to review and validate the issue or complaint with the guest present, and correct the issue(s) while the guest is still on property.
