Rental Terms & Policies

These Rental Terms apply to every stay at Sunrise on the River, 6910 US-1, Grant-Valkaria, Florida 32949, booked directly with us. Together with the House Rules and the confirmation you receive at booking, they form the agreement between you (the "Guest") and the owners (the "Owner").

When you book through Airbnb, VRBO, Florida Rental by Owners, FloridaRentals, Lake.com or another platform, that platform's booking, payment and cancellation terms govern the money side of your stay. These terms and the House Rules still describe how the property is used.

A 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom waterfront home of approximately 1,800 sq ft that sleeps 8 across 4 beds, plus the yard, gazebo, fire pit, parking and the private dock, for the dates on your confirmation.

A separate efficiency unit on the property is not offered for rent and is reserved for the Owner's use. The Owner may occasionally visit with advance notice to use that unit or to access the Owner's boat, using a separate entrance and parking, without entering the rental home or disturbing the yard, gazebo, fire pit or dock.

A reservation is confirmed only when we send you a written confirmation and the required payment has cleared.

Rates are quoted per night, per week or per month for up to 8 guests, and are shown with all fees and Florida taxes before you pay. Nothing is added afterwards.

A one-time cleaning fee of $200 applies to every stay. A pet fee of $150 applies for stays under 28 nights and $250 for stays of 28 nights or more, for up to two dogs.

Florida sales and Brevard County tourist development taxes are collected as required by law on stays of less than six months.

Rates on long stays may be quoted with utilities capped at a reasonable monthly allowance; if so, the cap is stated in writing in your confirmation before you pay.

For direct bookings, payment is taken through our secure booking engine. We never ask for a wire transfer, cryptocurrency, gift cards or payment to a personal account — if someone asks you for that in our name, it is not us.

The payment schedule and any security deposit or damage protection amount are shown at checkout and repeated in your confirmation.

The cancellation policy that applies to your booking is the one displayed at checkout and restated in your confirmation. Please read it before you pay, because it is what governs any refund.

For bookings made through a platform, that platform's cancellation policy applies and refunds are processed by the platform.

Date changes are welcome when the calendar allows it. Ask us and we will move you if we can.

If the home becomes genuinely unusable through no fault of yours — storm damage, a failed system we cannot repair in time, loss of utilities — we will refund the nights you cannot use. That is the limit of our liability in that situation.

We are on the Florida coast, and named storms happen. If a mandatory evacuation order is issued by Brevard County or the State of Florida for the property's zone during your stay, or if the National Hurricane Center places the area under a hurricane warning that covers your arrival date, you may cancel or shorten the affected nights for a refund of those nights.

Rain, wind, cold fronts, sargassum, algae blooms, poor fishing and closed attractions are not grounds for a refund.

We strongly recommend travel insurance for stays between June and November.

The House Rules are part of these terms. Please read them — they cover check-in times, dogs, the dock, fires, quiet hours and guest counts.

The property is a private residence rented for vacation and temporary occupancy. Your stay does not create a residential tenancy, and no right of continued occupancy exists after the departure date on your confirmation.

We may end a stay without refund for serious breaches: exceeding the guest limit, an unapproved party, smoking indoors, illegal activity, threats or abuse toward the Owner or neighbors, or deliberate damage.

Accidents happen and normal wear is expected. You are responsible for damage beyond that, and for loss caused by you, anyone in your party or any pet you bring.

Use of the dock, the water, the kayaks, the paddleboards, the fire pit and the grill is voluntary and at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, the Owner is not liable for personal injury, drowning, illness or loss or damage to personal property arising from that use.

The Owner's total liability for any claim relating to a stay is limited to the amount paid for that stay.

Your personal belongings are your responsibility. We will happily mail back anything you leave behind at your cost.

There are no cameras, microphones or recording devices anywhere inside the home, and none pointed at the dock, the yard or any private outdoor space.

How we handle your information is described in our Privacy Policy.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and any dispute will be brought in the courts of Brevard County, Florida.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
