Welcome to Florida!

In addition to our beautiful beaches and sunshine, Florida’s nature, trees, and climate can sometimes attract unwelcome insect visitors like palmetto bugs, mosquitoes, flies, bees, ants, and wasps.

Our property is located in a humid subtropical area, so it's also normal to see wildlife like squirrels, birds, raccoons, snakes, bats, spiders, and occasionally small rodents.

We take every measure to prevent pests with regular professional pest control.

If a bug sneaks inside, feel free to evict it yourself, or let us know. We’ll be happy to re-treat the property if needed.

To help prevent these visitors, avoid leaving doors open for long periods and don’t leave food or crumbs unattended inside or outside.

Refunds, discounts, or negative reviews will not be accepted for wildlife or insect sightings; thanks for understanding.

After all, it’s all part of the Florida experience!

Beryl R.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Do NOT stay here! We arrived at VRBO at 4:00 pm as stated. A lady was trying to clean the property and said the property manager went out to buy a new tv since the tv was smashed. This place is unkept with broken cracked ceramic tile, filthy dirty grout, no curtains on the bedroom window, and no way acceptable for guests. The cluttered yard is far from desirable too. We had reserved the property for 16 nights, but refused to stay there even one night. It is in a questionable neighborhood.
