Furnishing Your Unit
Whether you decide to
decorate yourself or if you opt to work with a decorator,
there are some basic considerations to keep in mind. The
items on the following list are considered an absolute
necessity in the industry.
- Flooring should be
durable. Tile flooring should have area rugs in
appropriate areas such as under the coffee table
in the living room.
- Fabrication of
upholstery and carpeting should be durable and
not of a light color.
- Window treatment is
a must. Blinds not only to keep out light but
also provide privacy.
- Artwork is needed
but should be kept simple. Mirrors are a good
option.
- Silk plants.
- Decorative items
– excessive, expensive or easily broken
items are not encouraged.
- For suggested
bedding arrangements:
King size bed in the master (queen size is ok if
king size does not fit).
2 singles or a queen size bed in the 2nd bedroom
if a 2/br unit.
2 singles beds in the 3rd befroom if a 3/br unit.
Sleeper sofa in the living room. If there is no
sleeper in the living room, you
will be required to purchase a rollaway bed
or air mattress.
Please purchase quality mattresses and sleeper
sofas – they will last longer and
make guests want to come back.
- Electronics should
be of a name brand but not the most costly. These
are the bare minimum requirements:
Living/dining area: 25” or larger TV
and a surround sound system that includes
a cd/dvd/tuner, plus a cordless phone
and answering machine.
Master bedroom: regular phone, 19” or
larger TV, alarm Clock
The purchase of additional TV's, telephones and
alarm clocks for the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms is
optional.
II. Utilities
You will need to make
arrangements for the following utilities to be put in
your name upon the closing of your unit:
- FPL
- Cable (expanded
package, you need to arrange for it to be
connected – a one time fee)
- BellSouth –
you must provide local access and have a long
distance block placed on the line.
You are responsible for the timely payment of all
utility bills.
III. Contracts
& Closing Date
If you are interested in
having your unit rented as soon as possible once you
close, then please take note of the following guidelines:
If you are interested in
having your unit rented as soon as possible once you
close, then please take note of the following guidelines:
1. Register your unit on-line at (go to the “New
Unit Owner Registration” form), as soon as possible.
Once your unit is registered in our system and we have an
idea of the unit size, type and view, our leasing agents
can start taking reservations. Most reservations are made
30 to 90 days prior to arrival, so the sooner we have
your unit in our system the sooner we can get your unit
rented.
2. Order your furnishings and amenities at least 6 weeks
prior to your projected closing date. Coordinate the
delivery of the items with the building manager.
3. Arrange for all utilities to be connected (FPL, cable,
telephone) on or near the closing date. Please provide
the unit telephone # as soon as you get it. Florida
SunBreak can make these arrangements for you for a
nominal fee of $75.00.
4. Upon closing you will need to provide us with 5 sets
of keys, and any access cards or garage clickers that may
be needed for entry onto the property.
5. After your furnishings have been installed, our staff
will install the amenities. At this time your unit will
require an initial cleaning to be done by our
housekeeping staff. Although the unit is brand new, there
will be construction dust and debris that will need to be
cleaned and the unit will need to be made ready with
guess amenities for the first arrival. Our staff will
also do an official inventory list to be entered into
your file. The charge for this service will be billed to
you on your first rental statement.
