A Note on our Tropical Setting:

Twin Oaks Cottage is nestled under a lush canopy of majestic oaks in a beautiful sub-tropical climate. Because this is a historic 1940s home with vintage charm, and because we are surrounded by nature, you may occasionally see a "Palmetto Bug" (a large Florida wood roach) during the hot or wet months. We have a strict professional pest control schedule, but they are a natural part of the Florida landscape!

Host Tip: To keep the "great outdoors" where it belongs, please keep doors and windows closed at all times.
