I am a bit nervous to be booking from an individual for a townhome in Windsor Hills. We got scammed once on a vacation yeas ago and I have been nervous about it ever since.

We are contemplating books this: mickeyismagical.com


These are the terms they have listed on their site:


Owner reserves the right to change rates and rental policy without notice

Terms and conditions: Dates are reserved on a first come first served basis. In order to lock in and reserve a date in your name we must have a completely filled out and signed confirmation form (emailed as an attachment) with a $350.00 initial payment on record. The remainder rental fee is due no later than 30 days prior to your planned arrival at which time when paid we will forward all required access information

Short notice bookings less than 45 days out require payment in full.

Security: Either a $400.00 cash refundable security deposit or a valid credit card number on file with an authorizing signature to use.

Cancellation Policy: There is a $25.00 cancellation fee. For a full refund of rental paid minus this fee, cancellations must be made at least 30 days prior to scheduled arrival date.

50% refund of rental paid minus cancellation fee for cancellations made from 29 to 8 days prior to scheduled arrival date.

No refunds for cancellations less than 8 days prior to the scheduled arrival date. All cancellations must be received in writing.

No refunds for unused nights if circumstances require you to terminate your vacation early. For this reason we strongly suggest that you acquire adequate travel insurance beforehand to cover reimbursement for these unforeseen expenses just in case.

Our townhome will be completely cleaned before your arrival and after you leave. The home is professionally managed by Oasis Vacation Homes with a 24-hour on call emergency service if needed.

Arrival time is after 4 pm, with departure no later than 10am on the morning following your last night. This is to allow our housekeepers time to complete their assigned tasks for the next incoming guest. There may be exceptions to this but only if there are no guest bookings back to back.

You must be 21 years of age to sign our rental agreement.

Sorry, we cannot allow your pets to stay at our townhome.

No smoking is allowed for the comfort of all of our guests.



Do these seem typical? I just want to make sure before booking. It is managed by Oasis.

All very typical and nothing to be put off by. Are you sure the experience you really desire is one of simply moving into another home type setting with easy access to the various parks, attractions, restaurants, etc in the area OR are you looking for a resort type experience for a fun, "get away from it all and enjoy special treats" type stay? While we can enjoy a good relocation of home to a less familiar place the real desire is for a RESORT experience where we get to enjoy things not just move the regular day to day routine to Orlando in a different house. For that reason we prefer a timeshare 2-3 bedroom condo type place that really screams vacation & change from the norm. We don't get that with a simple house rental but your desires may be different.
 
We picked the townhomes because my parents are going with us as well but will spend only a day or so at the parks so this way my mom can swim in the private pool and there will be plenty of space for all of us.
 
Very typical stuff. Basically the same policies as the owner we rent from. We've stayed in timeshares, Disney resorts, and Windsor Hills townhomes. Of the three, we prefer WH. From my prespective, there's not a whole lot of difference between a timeshare and WH, other than at WH nobody's bugging me all trip long to come take a timeshare presentation...
 

If it is Ian Robinson from Oasis Management, we know that company as they were one of the 2 top contenders to manage our home. I would not have a problem renting a home that they manage.
