★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★
Heath, safety, and wellbeing of our guests are of utmost importance to us. For this reason, we use a thorough and extensive process of cleaning after each check-out.

We charge a pet fee of $75 per stay for two pets maximum. This increases to $150 / week and $200 / month for longer term guests. Please submit a special offer with this additional fee included through the platform when you book the unit for more than 7 nights.

*If you neglect to inform us ahead of time that you are bringing a pet with you than we reserve the right to either TERMINATE your stay early or charge an additional $100 on top of the original pet fee.

The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming we can offer this at all (we often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):

1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $50

1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $100

2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $200

These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes our cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which we hold them to.

REFUND DISCLAIMER:
Please note that if a refund is issued for your booking, the processing fee of 3.9% will not be refunded. The refunded amount will be the total paid minus the 3.9% processing fee per Stripe’s return policy. This applies to direct bookings and bookings made through select booking channels. Thank you for your understanding.

HOT TUB/POOL DISCLAIMER:

Please note that the use of the pool and/or hot tub is at your own risk. Neither the property manager nor the property owner shall be held liable for any injuries, accidents, or incidents that may occur in or around the pool/hot tub area. By using the pool or hot tub, guests acknowledge that they assume full responsibility for their own safety. We encourage guests to use caution and supervise any children or individuals who may need assistance.

● You must be 21 years of age or older to book a reservation, and an individual who is 21 years of age or older must be present throughout the duration of the reservation.

● Please no smoking on the property. Cigarette butts must be disposed of in the ashtray provided on the front
patio. An additional fee to remove stains/odors from cigarettes will apply. (smoke is really hard to get out)
● Pick up all trash before departing. Place all garbage in an outside trash can.
● Please wash all dishes. If the dishwasher was used, please run and unload the dishwasher prior to
departure.
● Do not open the windows. This is due to the extra security measures we have installed.
●Do not overload the washer/dryer. Do not wash sandy beach items or towels in the units. Empty the dryer lint trap after EVERY USE. Additional fees will apply if units are damaged due to improper use.
● The storage room is to remain closed at all times.
● Consumables such as condiments or snacks may be left behind by previous guests if they are not empty. We try our very best to ensure that it is not expired or stale. HOWEVER, ultimately, it is up to the guests’
discretion and inspection to consume these items if they wish. The host does not take any responsibility
for the consumables.
● Please do not rearrange the furniture.
● If guests are found to have had a party without host permission which results in additional cleaning or
maintenance required, guests will be responsible for additional cleaning charges. In the unfortunate
event that neighbors are disturbed, GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY

Great Get Away
We were in town for a wedding and thoroughly enjoyed the property. Things were a little messy after the hurricane, but property was quickly cleaned up and we all enjoyed the back yard/pool/bar/lounge area. Great place to stay.

Hot tub and sauna , not working. Would not have come, if I was informed ahead of time.
Rude reply from host when I addressed the subject. We were there 5 nights. Not once did I see anyone clean the pool or pick up debris off the walk ways. We were on the property alone except for the first night. I finally asked to give me a heads up if anyone else was checking in, ( easy access to property) was nervous about being there alone. My last night a family did come, I don’t think they stayed, although he was notified that the Jacuzzi was broken, but every time I saw him, he was cleaning the pool never saw his kids out there swimming. Anyway, they took $50 off my bill and brought me a bottle of wine for my trouble. HORRIBLE ..

Great location!
The property was very nice! We loved the outdoor area and the actual unit was spacious and clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Loved the location as well. We had a friend’s wedding at La Venture Grove, which is just a few minutes away, so this was the perfect spot. We also went to check out St. Augustine for the day, which was close by and had tons of shops and restaurants. Very cool. We’d stay here again!

Mini family vacation
Perfect for a family, kids can swim and play while parents relax. Close enough to the city to be convenient, but far enough from the crowds. Even makes for a reasonable day trip to Disney/Orlando!

Very Comfortable and Warm.
The property, both inside and out, is beautiful, clean and well kept. The items supplied were abundant. (toiletries, dish soap etc.) The only issue we had was understanding the access instructions. When entering the "Breezeway" it enters into the side of the main house. When we arrived the main house was being used by another family and it feels as if you are walking into someone else private event in order to access the entry for your rental. Also there re no #'s on the units to know which one you have rented. I would definitely stay here again.
