Being located on the water, mosquitoes are unavoidable, and you may encounter a few during your stay. Please also be mindful of Florida biting midges, noseeums and gnats. Although pest control treatments are scheduled quarterly, we cannot fully prevent these insects. We recommend using gnat and mosquito repellent spray when you are outside.
Other "uninvited nature guests," such as lizards, centipedes, frogs, and crabs may also roam around the house.
