Other Things to Note:

🗓️ Your dates aren’t available? No worries! We have other rentals in Palm Harbor—reach out to ask about availability!



★ Note about the Kiddie Pool & Pool ★

While it may look like a hot tub, the smaller section of the pool is actually a kiddie pool and does not have a jet pump or hot tub features. It’s perfect for little ones to safely splash and play!



The pool is heated to a comfortable 80–85°F, ideal for swimming year-round. However, weather conditions, including air temperature, wind, and rainfall, can affect how warm the water feels.



★FL Weather★

We are not responsible for FL weather changes / delays leading up to and during your reservation. In the event of a storm, our cancellation policy stands. Please purchase Travel Insurance.



★BUGS & CRITTERS★

Please be aware that this is Florida. If you don't want bugs, mosquito's, spiders, snakes, armadillos, lizards, iguanas, raccoons, palmetto bugs, deer and/or cockroaches in the house, please do not leave the door open. We do not give refunds for bug and/or animals found in or outside the property. We do have a monthly pest service in place. We can at anytime have dangerous animals located on this property.



★IMPORTANT★

This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $49 on time fee, for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots. If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!



Interaction with Guests:

We self-manage and look forward to doing everything we can to make your stay with us pleasant and enjoyable.
