Parties, weddings, receptions and other such functions which draw additional neighborhood traffic will require advance written permission, and other requirements and fees as deemed necessary. In order to protect owner privacy & security, AGENCY AND RENTAL CLIENTS are not permitted to contract outside concierge service providers without BlueVillas permission.

In the event that outside providers are found working inside the villa, BlueVillas reserves the right to cancel the service immediately and will not be responsible for any monetary loss of service.
2. Security deposit is the sum of money that the guest gives in cash during the check-in process of the villa, or by bank transfer with the final payment of the stay, as safeguard against damages made to the property.

The cost of damages or repairing will be deducted from the security deposit. In the exceptional case where the costs of repairing/replacing of any proven damages exceed the Security Deposit, the Guest accepts to cover the additional cost upon presentation of the relevant invoices. Examples of typical security deposit charges include, but are not limited to, the following:
