2. What will the weather be like when
we arrive?
While we can't guarantee exactly what the weather
will be like when you stay at a Studio10uk property, we do have
a pretty clear idea of how the weather will be for the period that
you stay, based on the monthly averages kindly provided by the
Weather Channel.

Please note that, because of the sub-tropical
nature of Florida's climate, rain storms can be sudden and heavy.
So in the peak months of rainfall (June through September), rain
typically falls daily in the afternoon for a short period before
clearing to give superb weather.

3. How does Studio10uk grade its homes?
Studio10uk uses a rating system to grade the
properties that we manage. This gives a simple and easily recognized
method of determining which home you want to stay in. All of our
properties are 4 star vacation rental homes and are probably unequalled
and all offer incredible quality at affordable prices.
Back

4. How does Studio10uk price it's vacation
homes?
Quality, quality, quality. Unlike other management companies,
some travel agents and tour operators, Studio10uk allow and encourage
you to select the vacation home that perfectly matches your needs
and budget. Because we allow you to select the villa of your choice,
Studio10uk has to be certain that you'll be happy and satisfied
with the property that you stay in every time. We thoroughly clean
and inspect the villas after every stay, and our owners agree to
our maintaining their homes in the peak of condition at all times,
so they accept the additional costs involved. Quite simply, we
don't use 'stock' homes that have problems like other companies.
Each of our properties has to be in 'tip-top' condition before
we'll rent them to guests. Even then, Studio10uk rental property
rates are only a fraction of the cost of staying at one of the
Theme Park resorts, which are comparable in quality - but can never
compare with ease of access, privacy and space!

to questions
5. When should I take pool heat as an
option/are the pools heated?
Many of the Studio10uk property owners opt to include the cost
of pool heat within their rental charges - so you don't have to
pay a separate fee. Some Studio10uk properties offer pool heat
as a separate chargeable option, which is clearly shown on the
price grid for each property. Pool heat is not inclusive on these
properties.
We recommend that pool heat is chosen (if you intend to use the
pool) between October and May. Pool heat is preset to the desired
temperature for that particular property and cannot be adjusted.
A pool blanket is provided as standard on heated pools, which should
cover the pool when not in use to retain the heat (especially overnight!).
All properties that have pool heat as an option show the charge
on the pricing grid on the property description page.
Please note that, in extreme weather conditions
(below 55°F), electrically heated pools will not operate. While
we take every precaution to ensure that pools are heated as specified,
weather conditions may (rarely) affect the temperature of the pool.
Please see the Terms and Conditions page for more details concerning
Pool Heat charges.

6. Is Maid Service included in the price?
Studio10uk properties are rented to guests on a "Self-catering"
basis. Each and every Studio10uk property is cleaned on departure
of every guest party, and inspected prior to your arrival. For
your convenience and hygiene, each home is provided with a dishwasher,
washing machine, dryer, mop, brush and pan for maintaining the
property cleanliness during your stay. All homes are treated
regularly for insects, and the pools are treated to maintain
their cleanliness.
Some guests that stay for a longer period (over 10 days) request
a mid-term clean, which can be arranged in advance through our
office for a standard fee.

7. When do I pay the deposit/final payment/security
deposit?
A full set of our terms and conditions of rental can be found
by clicking here.
In brief, your deposit payment is due at the time of booking,
to confirm and hold the reservation. Final payment of all rentals,
options, and taxes are due 90 days prior to the arrival date. The
Accidental Damage Waiver is due at the time of your final payment.

8. How close is my vacation rental property
to Disney?
To help you decide which of our fabulous properties is right
for your family vacation, Studio10uk provide information about
the proximity of your property to the major attractions in Kissimmee
and Florida. On the Calabay Parc section
property description page, that you reach from the search results
page, you will find a description of the property and its location,
miles to Disney or nearest attraction center. Studio10uk has selected
a fixed point on Disney property to help us to accurately calculate
the number of miles to all vacation homes consistently. The actual
mileage to your specific home may differ slightly, owing to the
direction taken to reach that point.
Back
to questions
9. Is there a phone at the property? How
does it work?
All Studio10uk properties are equipped with at least one phone
for outgoing and incoming calls. Our arrival pack provides the
telephone number of the property that you are staying at for your
use. When requested, we can provide the telephone number of the
property that you are staying at one week before arrival, so that
you can let family, friends and work know where you can be contacted
(do you really want to do that?).
All telephones in every property use the FREECALL system. The
system allows you to make free local calls.

10. How do I book my vacation villa through
Studio10uk?

11. What is Construction Discount?
The Construction Discount is offered by Studio10uk™ against
each property where there is current building work in progress
within 300 feet (91.44 metres) of the property (in any direction)
that may possibly affect your stay. The discount is shown and deducted
automatically from the on-line quotation, or will be explained
verbally when making a telephone reservation.
The company has sole discretion as to the dates when this discount
will be applied, and the extent of the construction, i.e., the
company will determine if the discount applies. Guests who choose
to book this property will receive the Construction Discount as
the sole compensation for any inconvenience caused. No further
compensation, moves to different properties, or other remedies
will be offered to the guest. In many cases, the construction works
nearby will not effect your vacation stay at the property, but
the Studio10uk™
policy is designed to advise guests prior to arrival of such potential
for inconvenience.
