For those Guests purchasing HDW, certain conditions apply: A.) HDW coverage does not include intentional acts of a Guest, gross negligence or willful conduct, any damage Guest has failed to report to Florida Spirit's prior to or upon check out, normal wear and tear, and damage or loss caused by a pet or other animal brought onto the premises by Guest. HDW only applies to the direct physical loss or damage to the covered property and does not cover loss of use of such property nor does the waiver apply to loss or damage to any property owned by or brought on to the premises by Guest.

If Guest elects not to purchase the HDW, Florida Spirit will require a refundable security deposit in the amount of $250 for 3 and 4 bedroom properties and $350 for 5,6,7,8,and 9 bedroom properties.
