The rental is equipped with two designated parking spots, labeled with the unit number. Additional visitor parking is available and marked "VIS"

A propane grill is available for guest use, along with a standard propane tank. Please note that propane may be left over from previous guests but is not guaranteed or provided as part of your stay. If the tank runs empty, you can easily exchange it at nearby locations such as Walmart, Home Depot, or local gas stations for approximately $25.

To maintain the property and pool for your comfort and enjoyment, routine maintenance is performed regularly.

We love pets, but unfortunately the HOA does not allow pets.

Please note: The nightly rate includes up to 5 guests. For groups larger than 5 (up to a maximum of 6 guests), there is an additional charge of $25 per guest, per night.
