Getting Started with The FLORIDA VACATION RENTAL COMPANY PROGRAM
I. Furnishing Your Rental
Whether you decide to decorate yourself or if you opt to work with a decorator, there are some basic
considerations to keep in mind. The items on the following list are considered an absolute necessity in
the industry.
• Flooring should be durable. Tile flooring should have area rugs in appropriate areas such as under
the coffee table in the living room.
• Fabrication of upholstery and carpeting should be durable and not of a light color.
• Window treatment is a must. Blinds not only to keep out light but also provide privacy.
• Artwork is needed but should be kept simple. Mirrors are a good option.
• Silk plants.
• Decorative items – excessive, expensive or easily broken items are not encouraged.
• For suggested bedding arrangements:
King size bed in the master (queen size is okay if king size does not fit).
A queen size bed in the 2nd bedroom if a 2/br unit.
2 full size beds or a queen in the 3rd bedroom if a 3/br unit.
Sleeper sofa in the living room. If there is no sleeper in the living room, you
will be required to purchase a rollaway bed or air mattress.
Please purchase quality mattresses and sleeper sofas – they will last longer and
make guests want to come back.
• Electronics should be of a name brand but not the most costly. These are the bare minimum
requirements:
Living/dining area: 25” or larger TV and a sound system that includes a cd/dvd, plus a cordless phone
and answering machine.
Master bedroom: regular phone, 19” or larger TV, alarm Clock
The purchase of additional TV's, telephones and alarm clocks for the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms is optional.
II. Utilities
You will need to make arrangements for the following utilities to be put in your name upon the closing of
your unit:
• Florida Power
• Cable (expanded package, you need to arrange for it to be connected – a one time fee)
• Verizon – you must provide local access and have a long distance block placed on the line.
You are responsible for the timely payment of all utility bills.
III. Guidelines
If you are interested in having your residence rented as soon as possible, please take note of the
following guidelines:
1. Register your unit /home with FLORIDA VACATION RENTAL COMPANY as soon as possible. Once your
unit/home is registered in our system and we have an idea of the unit size, type and view, our leasing
agents can start taking reservations. Most reservations are made 30 to 90 days prior to arrival, so the
sooner we have your unit in our system the sooner we can get your unit rented.
2. Order your furnishings and amenities at least 6 weeks prior to your projected closing date. Coordinate
the delivery of the items with the building or rental manager.
3. Arrange for all utilities to be connected (Progress Energy, cable, telephone) . Please provide the rental
telephone # as soon as you get it.
4. Upon registration you will need to provide us with 5 sets of keys, and any access cards or garage
clickers that may be needed for entry onto the property.
5. Install your furnishings and amenities. At this time your unit/home will require an initial cleaning to be
done by our housekeeping staff. We will also require an official inventory list to be entered into your file.
If you do not have time to take the inventory FLORIDA VACATION RENTAL COMPANY will do so. The
charge for this service will be billed to you on your first rental statement.
