Finalizing your booking...
I will make arrangements for our property managers to contact you and finalize your reservations.
At that time, it is a good idea to make any detailled additions to your reservation: pack and play crib rentals, dock slip rentals or extra golf cart rental requests. A representative from the property management company will need to fax or mail you the final rental agreements, so please provide them with your fax 3 or mailing addresses. They do accept most major credit cards as well as personal checks for vacation rental payments.Below we have a copy of the Terms and Conditions listed on their website... though the property manager's terms and offerings may change; we cannot gaurantee their Terms at your time of travel. Please contact them directly for the most recent agreements.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS (JANUARY 2007 from NCIC website)

INTRODUCTION
North Captiva Island Club, hereinafter referred to as NCIC or Club, has established a public lodging operation for short-term resort rentals under Chapter 509 of the Florida Statutes. NCIC rents properties to persons of 21 years or over, hereinafter referred to as the Guest. The Club represents homeowners that are registered in its vacation rental program.
ACCEPTANCE
The Guest agrees that payment of the rental deposit sum to the Club will signify their full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Rental. The Guest further acknowledges that by payment of the final rental sum, the Guest has received copies of, and/or read and accepted these Terms and Conditions of Rental.
SECURITY/DAMAGE DEPOSITS
The Guest agrees to submit a credit card authorization upon check-in for the amount of $500 to hold as a security deposit. Upon vacating the property this authorization shall be released, except in the event of damage or loss to the property. The Guest agrees that he/she will be fully responsible for any damage or loss to the property for the duration of the rental period.
If a golf cart is included in the rental of the property, the Guest shall be wholly responsible for the return of the golf cart in its original condition at the time of receivership. The only exception for the condition of the golf cart at the time of return to the Club is normal wear from the operation of the golf cart.

Where loss or damage to the property, the furnishings, or equipment occurs during the Guest’s stay, the Club will bill the Guest for the shortfall, and the Guest agrees to pay within 14 days. In the event that the Guest fails to pay any such shortfall, the Club reserves the right to exercise any legal remedies to pursue the amount owed from the Guest.
OCCUPANCY
Occupancy is restricted to the stated limit for each property. The Guest may not over-occupy the property.
