If this is not acceptable rental payments will be refunded in full.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE WHILST IN THE VILLA
You must read the Villa Handbook and be aware of your responsibilities whilst in our villa. It particularly important that you pay attention to the notes regarding rubbish/trash collection. The bins need to be placed at the kerbside a certain way as rubbish in Florida is now collected using a specially adapted vehicle.
Failure to comply will result in a fine, which will, in turn be passed on to the guest that is staying at that time.
Smoking is not permitted in any of the villa rooms, including but not restricted to, the garage, bathrooms, and bedrooms of living, dining or cooking areas. Smoking in the house will result in the loss of security deposit and any additional costs we may incur as a result.
