The subscription plan you choose will be based on the number of vacation rental properties you want to list. Or, the Diamond Plan can be purchased if you would prefer to have your own booking and payment processing website backed by the marketing power of ExperienceFloridaVacations.com. Please see our subscription plans for more detail.

The subscription plans are based on an annual subscription cost. There are No additional commission, booking or hidden service fees.

The listing period, for the total number of listings covered by the chosen plan, will be set for one year. Unless, you choose a subscription plan with fewer listings than the number of listings you have published. In that case, all of your listings will be set to the expired status. Then, you choose the listings you want to resubmit and keep active based on the number of listings covered by your chosen plan. That’s it! You’re good to go!

You will receive a reservation/booking request via email and a reservation/booking request will be posted on your dashboard under ‘My Bookings’.

Not directly. ExperienceFloridaVacations.com is not the merchant of record. Property hosts are responsible for making reservations and securing guest payments. It is totally within a property host’s discretion as to how they would like to accept reservation payments. We do encourage vacationers to make payments to property hosts through secure platforms that offer buyer protection (i.e. credit cards, Paypal for Business, Stripe, etc…). Of course, property hosts are free to use whatever payment processing option they wish.

With the Diamond Plan, a payment processing platform (utilizing Paypal or Stripe) is provided with the owners own booking website.

The State of Florida Sales and Use Tax – All vacation rental reservations under 6 months are required to be taxed at 6% plus any discretionary sales surtax imposed by the designated county. Property owners are required to have a state sales tax account and collect and submit these taxes.

County & Municipality/City – Individual Florida counties and certain cities may impose a local option tax on short term rentals. These taxes, often called local option transient rental taxes, include the tourist development tax, convention development tax, tourist impact tax, and municipal resort tax. The local tax imposed is in addition to the 6% state sales tax and any applicable discretionary sales surtax.

Be sure to include the total tax amount on your listing submittal form (see example). The total tax amount will automatically calculate and display on the booking request form and invoice.

No. Each property host provides their own cancellation and booking policies. Any cancellation and booking policies should be posted in the property listing under the Policies Section and can be uploaded, as attachments, on the listing submittal upload images page.
