The reservation holder is required to present proof of identity and age upon check-in utilizing either a driver’s license or passport. We do not require reservation holders to register all guests. If the reservation holder is found to be under the age of 25 upon check-in FPRH reserves the right to cancel the reservation without refund. The reservation holder must be present throughout the entirety of the reservation.
 
2. Renters should not invite guests that weren’t part of their original party to join them at the FPRH home. FPRH does not allow day visitors. Any exceptions to this must be made with a FPRH employee prior to lessee’s schedule arrival.
 
3. Renters must not exceed the maximum capacity of the home as outlined on the FPRH website and reservation confirmation. These numbers are put in place not only for feasibility of sleeping arrangements but for the safety of renters and the infrastructure of the home. If guests are found in excess of maximum capacity AND/OR if the number of vehicles parked on property exceeds the specified limit for a particular property FPRH reserves the right to order guests to vacate the property without refund.
 
4. Park on driveways only. DO NOT park any type of vehicles on grass/dirt or on the street. Contact a FPRH staff member if you are unsure of where to park. A portion of the security deposit will be held back to repair landscaping if needed if renters are found to have damaged it by parking on the grass.
 
5. Guests must respect property lines and not trespass. Frio Premier Rental Homes are located inside of other communities/subdivisions and many homes in these areas are privately-owned and occupied by full-time residents. Please do not utilize amenities (i.e., outdoor sporting equipment) that are not part of the property of your Frio Premier Rental Home. Please do not approach, feed, or pet neighbors’ horses or other livestock. If you have questions about property lines please contact a FPRH staff member.

The Hold Harmless Agreement at the end of this document applies to the use of bunkbeds as well.

23. Utilities, such as water and electric, are provided and controlled by outside companies. Concan Water Supply and Bandera Electric both operate independently of FPRH. Outages not related to non-payment by homeowners or individual renter usage are outside of the control of FPRH and a result of weather, nature, overuse as a region or subdivision or other causes. FPRH cannot be held responsible for an outage that we did not cause. If renters report an outage, FPRH employees will notify the respective entities as soon as possible and communicate with guests regarding the status of estimated repair time as they are able. Refunds will not be issued for outages that are not caused by Frio Premier Rental Homes.
