FAQ

  • How do I place a reservation for one of the rentals?

    Once you find the home of your choice, there are two easy-to-follow ways to book your vacation rental with Diamond Vacation Homes. You can choose to place the reservation directly online through our secure website 24/7, or simply speak to us at 407-505-7958. We require a 25% deposit upon placing the reservation. If you reserve your rental less than 45 days prior to your arrival, then full payment is due at the time of the booking. Deposits or full balances will be billed to the credit card number provided unless other payment methods are arranged.

  • How will I receive my confirmation and arrival instructions?

    Booking confirmation will be sent via email immediately after your reservation. To make sure you receive your reservation emails please adjust your spam filter to add the domain diamondvh.com to your list of accepted email addresses. You will receive your reservation confirmation email within 24 hours of making your reservation. As soon as you have completed the Rental Agreement, and if full payment has been received, you will then receive your final confirmation email showing the balance is paid on your vacation rental voucher. This will include your arrival instructions and key code to enter your vacation home. If you have not received these emails, and you have adjusted your spam filters, please contact us at 407-505-7958.

  • What is my check-in and check-out time?

    Your home will be available for check-in on your day of arrival at 5:00 PM. Check-out is promptly at 11:00 AM (10:00 AM for Reunion homes) on the day of your departure from your vacation home. Early check-ins or late check-outs can be requested for an additional charge. Prices vary per unit and early check-in and/or late check-out is subject to availability. Early check-ins and late check-outs will always be tentatively booked and confirmed only within 48 hours prior to your arrival. It is the guest's responsibility to contact Diamond Vacation Homes within that time period to confirm availability and confirm payment of the additional fees.

  • What is required at check-out?

  • Do I need to pay for pool heat to have the spa/hot tub heated?

    Yes, pool/SPA heating can be purchased at additional cost. You can simply add the heating to your reservation upon booking or contact us to add the option after reservation. A 24 hours notice is required before check in to purchase the heating so that we can ensure heat is turned on before your arrival. A spa or hot tub is not able to be heated on its own. There is no option to only heat the spa, since it is using the same water as the pool.

  • How hot will my pool be if I purchase pool heat?

    When pool heat is chosen for your home, the pool and spa will be heated to a temperature around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. When the guest turns on the spa mode, the system will automatically adjust the valves so that the water from the spa is returned back to the spa. This bypasses the pool, and so the spa will be heated up to a temperature of 94-102 Fahrenheit. If left in spa mode, the pool will not receive any heated water, thus leaving it to cool.

  • Will heated pools cool down overnight?

    Yes. The pool heaters operate on a timer and are set to come on in the morning and go off in the evening, therefore there will be some cooling off overnight when the air temperature drops. In the coldest winter months heating the pool can be a problem, with the water temperature dropping down overnight. Florida has a high temperate climate but we do get cold fronts coming in from the north that can bring overnight low temperatures in the 30's and 40's. Unfortunately, under these circumstances there is no way the pool heater will be able to keep the water at 86 degrees. Especially where pool heat is provided via an electrical heat pump, if the outside air drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the heating pump will be unable to operate effectively below this temperature, and failure of such devices is outside of our control, and is regarded as an act of nature. Please note that cold weather does NOT constitute a mechanical failure, and no refunds will be given for problems that are due to cold weather.

  • Do you allow pets?

    All homes have a strict no-pets policy due to some of our guests having extreme pet allergies. All rental agreements specify a minimum $500 fee for if pets are found in the property.

  • Are your vacation homes non-smoking?

    All homes have a strict non-smoking policy. Guests are permitted to smoke outside of the property in areas that are not covered. Those found to be in violation of the smoking policy will be subject to a $500 fee.

  • Are the properties cleaned daily?

    All of our homes undergo a regimented cleaning process prior to and after your stay. However, during your stay our cleaning crew does not enter your vacation home. Guests are not required to clean the property themselves, however, cleaning supplies such as a vacuum, mop and broom are provided to cover any mid-stay spills or other such occurrences. At a guest's request at least 48 hours prior, a mid-stay clean can be arranged for an additional cleaning fee.

  • What is trash and tidy clean?

    This is a mid-stay tidy that any Guest may choose to add to their reservation. This type of clean will include the following: clean all bathrooms, remake all beds with the SAME linens that are already on the bed, clean the kitchen, empty all trash, sweep and mop all tile or wood floor, vacuum all carpeted areas, wash towels and leave in the dryer.
