Do not allow pet to sleep in our human beds. It is impossible to get pet hair out of the sheets. Do not allow pet to wander into your neighbor's yard. Pick up after your pet in the yard! Thank you so much!
*CAMERAS This property uses motion censored cameras at front door and back door. These cameras only point to outside areas. These are meant to deter and prevent any unlawful activity. Also, this allows the host to monitor laborers such trash pickup, lawn maintenance, pest control etc.
*PEST CONTROL Well, this is Florida and controlling unwanted bugs is always challenging. This home is cared for and managed by a professional pest control company on a quarterly basis. We do our best to keep doors and windows closed to keep unwanted pests outside! However, we cannot guarantee you will not encounter a curious creature during your stay. Keeping food cleaned up inside and out is definitely the best thing you can do to help us in this area. Please message host if you feel there is a problem.
*SAFETY This property is located on a beautiful canal. At low tide there can be as much as an 6-8' drop off from the seawall into the canal. We ask that you please be mindful of young children and make sure they are supervised at all times. We also have plenty of wildlife in the area that could potentially be dangerous. Never leave children outside alone. This is NOT a child-proof home.
