Guest Access & Safety
Guests have full access to the front yard and the interior front portion of the home, which is clearly separated from the rest of the property. You are welcome to enjoy all indoor spaces provided, as well as the patio area featuring the Jacuzzi, grill, and fenced dog area.

For safety and privacy, guests may not go beyond the patio area. The backyard and rear portions of the property are not accessible and should not be entered or explored. This area contains the owner’s private collection of historic vehicles and equipment.

Please supervise children at all times and ensure they do not enter restricted areas. These guidelines are in place for everyone’s safety and to preserve the property.

Your host, Richard, is available throughout your stay if you need anything. Guests are welcome to contact him anytime through the booking app for questions, assistance, or local recommendations. You will enjoy a private, self check-in experience, but help is always just a call or message away.

The property is gated and clearly divided by fencing. Guests will have access only to the designated front portion of the property and the areas described in the listing. The rear portion of the property, including the backyard, is private and not accessible to guests.

For safety reasons, please do not enter or attempt to access any fenced or restricted areas beyond the Jacuzzi area. These areas are not part of the guest space. Children must be supervised at all times.

Thank you for respecting these boundaries and helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable stay for everyone.

Florida Summer Heat Notice: During extreme summer temperatures, some of our older homes may take longer to cool and the A/C may run continuously during the day. If you hear the A/C running, the system is operating as intended. To help keep the home comfortable, please keep all doors and windows closed and keep blinds and curtains shut during the hottest hours of the day. Thank you for your cooperation!

Refrigerator Notice: If you fill the refrigerator with warm drinks or food, the inside temperature will temporarily rise due to heat transfer. The refrigerator may run continuously and can take several hours to cool both the items and the refrigerator compartment back to normal operating temperature. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem with the appliance. Thank you for your patience!

-Reporting an Issue

We encourage guests to report any issues promptly. When a guest encounters an issue, we ask that they:

1. Communicate with our team — we are a dedicated team and will respond quickly to address any issue.

2. Document the issue using the agency message thread, photos, or other verifiable means.

Host Inspection and Confirmation

To ensure accurate resolution, our team must be given the opportunity to inspect, confirm, and address any reported issues. Due to the prevalence of today’s powerful media manipulation tools, all issues must be verified by our team before action is taken. Any unconfirmed issues that are not presented in a manner allowing us to inspect or resolve will be considered invalid.

Important Note: If an inspection determines that the reported issue is non-existent or not valid, guests may be held responsible for the inspection fee.
