Welcome to “Vintage” Florida!
We are just off the beaten path, so you may hear activity early in the morning to late at night….It is a vibrant town!
Our blue home is next to a vacant business with access to parking behind the home as well as the front.
We are conveniently located next to US -1 (which is a busy road; apologies for disturbance ) easy on street parking or behind home. While we are sharing the property with other guests, it is important that guests respect each other. House rules are enforced! Quiet Hours 10pm-8am
We have created an easy self check in at Cincinnati. Enter through west side of the house (Next to closed business on Pone De Leon), up a few steps and it will be the first set of blue French doors to the right marked 5.
Secret Chef is a spacious king suite in a multifamily home. It features a pull-out sofa and chair in the bedroom, as well as a desk and chair in the entryway for work/study purposes. The property has a total of five units with private entrances and is conveniently located next to busy US-1. Located a few blocks away from the best uptown restaurants and shops, and within walking distance to historical sites. It's a 10-minute walk to the fort and 15 minutes to St. George. Grocery stores such as Aldi, Publix, and Winn Dixie are nearby for those who enjoy cooking. Free street parking is available in front and 40-amp EV charging in the back and extra spaces. The shared garden has seating and tables for guests to enjoy, as well as a grill for cooking local fish. The beach is only a 10-minute drive away. We do not provide spices as we prioritize sanitation and encourage guests to use their preferred products.
Walking is best, however bike, scooters, three wheelers rentals are available. Touristy town with trollies just a few blocks away or call a pedi-cab to pick you up at the front of the property!
Bikes are available for only guests staying on the property. Me'Lieu Property management is not liable for injuries when you ride off the property. Please inspect bicycles before riding. Please use and return with care. *report any damages for necessary repairs*

Location is next to a vacant business. All of our properties are routinely treated for pests, but when the doors open bugs can come in; they love crumbs and open or unclean glasses of wine or pop, stagnant water from buckets and glasses and anywhere water accumulates, so please do your part! Definitely remember to use repellent when outdoors.
-Dogs are permitted on the premises subject to prior approval, and a thorough sweeping of the area is required upon departure.
-No cable. Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ connect to your streaming services to watch movies, TV shows, and other content over the internet
-No smoking inside
-Trash bins are in the back parking lot
-Close bottles of wine or tie bags with open cans/bottles to keep bugs from coming in.
**Cleaners may forget things as there are other units/properties, so please let me know what we could drop off or if we could fix areas that may need attention. Apologies in advance and thank you for your understanding as we want to provide a wonderful experience as a growing small business.
