General Information: Both condo units are privately owned and are newly constructed and furnished. Kitchens come stocked with cookware and dinnerware. Beds have mattress pads, blankets and pillows. Since reservations are made by Internet, fax and phone, it is important for you to communicate any special needs you may have. A starter supply of paper products is provided.

Payment: Final payment, including security depositi and any other applicable fees is due in full (30) thirty days prior to your check-in date. Since the vacation condo homes are not in a hotel, you will be charged for entire length of stay reserved and will not be refunded for checking in late and/or checking out early. Sorry, refunds cannot be made due to inclement weather.

Recent Reservations: If you are making a reservation less than 30 days prior to check-in, be prepared to pay the entire balance when making the reservation. If this is within 30 days, it is a good idea to send your check by next day mail.

Condo Association Approval: The Forest Glen Condo Association requires a rental approval. The fee for the association approval is $50 USD and must be submitted to the Owners Association prior to arrival. I will complete all of the necessary paperwork and remit the approval fee to the association for you. A PDF version of the approval form is on our Forms page.

Golf Transfer Fee: The fee to transfer the golf membership is $ 106 USD and must be submitted to the Country Club prior to arrival. I will complete all of the necessary paperwork and remit the approval fee to the Country Club. A PDF version of the transfer form is on our Forms page.

Cancellation: In the unfortunate event that you have to cancel your reservation, please do so in writing. I will immediately put the condo back on the market for rent. If I successfully rent it, I will refund you your money less a 10% cancellation fee. If I am unable to rent the property, your payment will be forfeited unless you are paid in full, in which case the security deposit will be refunded to you. Confirmed reservations are not transferable to another party without my knowledge and approval.

Security, Damage, and Clleaning Deposit: Both condo units require a security deposit of $300. It is due as part of your final payment 30 days before the rental timeframe begins. This protects the units from abnormal wear, tear, and damage. Your security deposit will be held against any damage during your occupancy. I ask all guests to report any damages they see upon arrival so that they are not held liable for such. You can contact me on my cell phone at (773) 405-6112.

The units are carefully checked after each departure and any damages are recorded. Any damage reported will be deducted from your security deposit. Security deposits are returned by mail within 30 days after departure. In the event extra charges exceed $300, all extra charges will be mailed to the guest. Any disputed charges are to be submitted in writing. You are responsible for the final cleaning of the unit.

Damages: If you damage anything in the unit, please notify me of the matter. Do not wait until departure. In general, leave the property the way you found it. While I realize that accidents do occur, there is a replacement or repair cost to me.

Guests: Occasional overnight guests are permitted. An occasional overnight guest is one who does not stay more than five nights in any calendar month. Occupancy of the unit should not exceed six total people.

Trash/Recycling: Please dispose of all your trash in the trash containers located in the garage. Garbage collection for Forest Glen is on Monday and Thursday. Containers can only be put out after 6:00 pm on the day prior.

No Smoking: Both condo units are designated as No Smoking. I ask that you respect this in consideration of others and myself.

Pets: Although I love my pet too, pets are not allowed in either condo unit without permission. If a pet is found on the premises, without permission, you will be asked to vacate the premises for breach of rental / lease contract without a refund. This includes pets belonging to anyone visiting you during your stay.

Water and Water Shut-Off Valves: Depending on the time of the year, for safety reasons, the water shut-off may be activated inside of the unit. The water supply shut-off is located outside of the building in the vegetation area underneath the den window. Unless otherwise instructed, you are not required to turn the water valve off.

Washer and Dryer: Full size washer and dryer units are located inside of each condo unit. Instruction booklets are located near the unit in the cabinet. Supplies are your responsibility.

Lanai: When departing the unit, please make sure the lights and ceiling fans in the lanai are off. I ask that you verify this as it may be hard to tell during the day. If the light is left on for an extended amount of time, insects may be attracted to it and make their way through the screen. In addition, please be careful not to push anything into the screened area. Screen repairs are expensive.

Holiday Season: Unit is not decorated for the holiday season. If you choose to decorate, only artificial decorations are permitted. Decorations are not to be left inside of the unit. No holes are to be made in walls, etc.

Maintenance: I do everything possible to keep all equipment in good working order and since the units are new this should not be an issue. However, just like your own home, it is impossible to guarantee that all appliances, hot water heaters, etc. will be in working order 100% of the time. I do guarantee to correct all deficiencies as soon as possible during normal business hours. Non-emergency maintenance will be handled the next day. You should take reasonable action to secure the problem. Checkout time is not the time to let me know about a problem, as I no longer have an opportunity to rectify the situation or prepare for my next guest. Authorized repairmen have the legal right to enter the property as required to accomplish repairs.

Extended Stays: Both condo units are available for long extended stays of 180 days or more. Special discounted rates and details are available upon request. Depending on preference, utilities may be directly billed or built into the monthly rent for rentals over 180 days.

Next Year's Reservations: I strive to have you return year after year. Advance reservations will be accepted for the following year. Current guests have priority for the same condo for the same month(s) / week(s) the following year. However, you must give me some type of tentative indication halfway through your stay.

If the condo unit isn't re-booked by this year's guest, then I will begin to reserve new guests for the same period next year, on a first come first serve basis. It is understood that the rental rate is subject to change. Three month continuous rentals are given priority over all others.

Mail Service: Because of the seasonality of usage at the condo unit, US Postal mail service is on hold. If you require mail service, please let me know and I will contact the US Post Office in Naples, Florida. UPS and Fed-X, however, will deliver if you supply them with the complete address to your unit. The zip code to Forest Glen is 34114.
