CLIMATE CONTROL: To ensure a pleasant stay and proper functioning of the air conditioning, please keep outside doors closed when the AC is in use. Open doors can affect the efficiency of the unit and may affect cooling. Also, keeping doors closed and exterior lights off when not in use helps to minimize bug activity inside. Florida’s warm climate is home to a few pesky critters that occasionally try to sneak indoors. We treat the property regularly to keep them at bay, but from time to time they may still make an appearance. Even small crumbs or sugary drinks can attract pests like ants into the home. Wipe up spills right away, throw food waste in the trash, and help keep common areas clean so we can keep bugs out. We appreciate your understanding and awareness as part of enjoying life in the Sunshine State!

Please take an extra few minutes prior to leaving at checkout (11:00 am), and look over all areas for any missed items.

FLORIDA HARD WATER NOTICE: Florida naturally has hard water due to high limestone content, which can sometimes leave light residue spots on hardware and fixtures. This is completely normal for the area. If appliances or faucets haven’t been used for a little while between guest stays, the minerals that settle in the pipes can also create a temporary odor when the water is first turned on—sometimes metallic, earthy, or even a mild “rotten egg” smell. This usually clears quickly once the water runs for a bit. We appreciate your understanding and are always here if you have any questions during your stay!
