🔔 OTHER THINGS TO NOTE 🔔

📌 Please be aware that the property is located off a sand road, and the driveway is also sandy.

📌 All payments are settled directly and not processed through the VRBO platform. We use ChargeAutomation to provide a secure guest portal, which can be shared with your group and adds an extra layer of verification to prevent fraudulent bookings. You'll receive this link after your booking is confirmed.

📌 We hold a security deposit during your stay, which will be fully refunded after check-out, provided there are no damages to the property.

📌 Please take a moment to read our House Rules in the House Rules section.

📌 We’re delighted to welcome you to our beautiful property, located near a body of water. To ensure a comfortable stay, we conduct weekly pest control to minimize the presence of no-see-ums, mosquitoes, and other insects. However, please note that being near water means there is a higher chance of encountering wildlife, including alligators, which can be found in any freshwater area in Florida. While this is part of the natural charm of the area, we encourage guests to enjoy the surroundings responsibly. Your comfort and safety are always our priority!
