Complimentary Wi-Fi and Cable Television
Guest understands that South Key Management Co. accepts no responsibility for the dependability of Comcast/Xfinity, Dish Network, AT&T, DirectTV, or any other service provider’s service. We do our best to keep all routers and cable working properly. We guarantee that the service is paid for and that is all. Should Internet go down at any home we will attempt to fix the problem by scheduling an appointment with the respected vendor. Due to the nature of these calls it may take a couple of days to get the situation resolved as we are subject to their scheduling.
When Things Break
South Key Management Co. prides itself on maintaining our homes to the very best of our abilities. We understand that you are on vacation and expect to have a great time but it is important you also have reasonable expectations. You have rented a home and just like any home things will break and problems can occur. We find that the more we disclose to our customers the less likely they are to be dissatisfied with the level of service we can provide on short notice.
South Key Management Co. does everything in our power to make these homes as pristine as we can but sometimes things go wrong and there is no immediate solution, for example parts may need to be ordered and maintenance may need to be scheduled. Unlike a hotel room, which is usually simplistic in design, so that problems rarely arise, a vacation rental home is very complicated and has a lot more features and amenities at a reduced price.
Compensation will not be given for any of the listed items or any other items at the property that malfunction which are out of our control: Clogged sinks and bathtubs, light bulbs, refrigerators, toasters, washer/dryers, televisions, Internet routers, DVD players, grills, ovens, microwaves, pool filters, blenders, dishwashers, wine fridges, griddles, stereos or stereo equipment, hair dryers, straighteners, remote controls, DVRs, fireplaces, ceiling fans, and coffee pots.
We will attempt to replace, fix, or schedule maintenance to repair these items as soon as possible. Some items may take longer than others. It is important to fix things when they break, our homeowners are billed for the time it takes to repair items on the property, therefore if maintenance is turned away for any reason the Guest will be held responsible and billed for this time.

I, the Guest, understand and am more than happy to pay a $500 excessive mess cleaning fee if I leave the property in a disorderly fashion. When leaving the property, it should be just as I found it minus dirty linens and trash which needs to be taken out. South Key Management Co. does not intend, nor do we want to charge this fee to anyone, but with Savannah being a wedding destination, we have problems time to time with large groups or wedding groups and will not tolerate abuse of our lovely homes. No Parties!
Heating and Air Units
South Key Management Co. takes the heating and air conditioning of a house seriously and we do consider this an emergency, please call us 24/7 the moment you suspect there is a problem.
