In order to maintain a quality experience for our guests, the cleaning fee listed is based on week-long reservations or less. We will message our guests with longer trips (beyond one week) as intermediate cleaning services/fees will be applied to the reservation.

To ensure you get settled in upon arrival, we provide a starter kit of essentials (including toilet paper & paper towels).

★ ESSENTIALS ★
The entire home is equipped with air conditioning and WIFI, so you’ll always be cool and connected. There are also ceiling fans in all 3 bedrooms for an extra breeze. Parking is available for 4 vehicles in the private driveway.
★ ADD-ON AMENITY UPON REQUEST ★
• Heated Pool: $19 / night (*available only during the cold season, typically November - April)
*The perfect temperature to heat the pool according to the American Red Cross Aquatic specialists is between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and 28°C), and we heat ours just a bit higher than their recommendations (at 84 degrees). Further, we are not able to heat our pool above this temperature as the high heat causes issues with the pool chemicals. During extremely cold weather in the 40s/50s, the water temperature may be cooler as the heater works against Mother Nature. For enjoyment of even warmer water temperatures, our luxurious hot tub is an excellent amenity that is available for your use.
★ GUEST ACCESS ★
· To ensure a seamless check-in process, you will receive the unique access code to our home on the day of your arrival. Additionally, a Welcome Guide with local recommendations and check-in/checkout details will be emailed to you 3 days before your reservation. This guide will also be available in the Vrbo app for confirmed bookings.
· Access to our home is gained through a secure, keypad entry so no need to worry about flight/travel delays or arriving later than planned for check-in.
· You and your guests will have complete access to areas of the property including the pool, hot tub, driveway, interior living spaces, home furnishings, TVs, and appliance stocked kitchen. You'll feel more comfortable and relaxed than you do in your own home!
· While the privacy of our guests is respected, we are in the area often and may stop by our home to make sure our guests have everything they need and are enjoying their stay.
★ ADDITIONAL RULES ★
· Guest Requirements:
1) 25 years of age or older to book and check-in,
2) Photo ID required upon booking,
3) Guests must have multiple 5 star reviews from hosts and no negative reviews in order to book.
· No Smoking Policy: Please be advised that we have a very strict no smoking policy anywhere on our property with zero tolerance and are only able to accommodate non-smokers (this applies to all guests in your group). This includes the use of tobacco, cannabis, e-cigarettes, etc. The smell of smoke lingers on fabrics, linens, and upholstery resulting in a very unpleasant and unacceptable experience for our guests. If anyone in your group arrives smelling of cigarette, marijuana, or cigar smoke, your reservation will be canceled with no refund to you and you will be asked to vacate the premises immediately.
· No Pets / Assistance Animals Policy: Hosts are NOT required to accept assistance animals when there is a threat to health or safety. The owners suffer from severe, life-threatening allergies, and as this is their living space when not hosting guests, we cannot welcome any pets whatsoever on the property. Please be advised that if you disregard this house rule and arrive with a pet, you will be asked to leave immediately and your reservation will be canceled with no refund provided to you. For your convenience, there are numerous pet friendly listings in Cocoa Beach. We appreciate your kindness and understanding.
· Pool & Hot Tub: There is no lifeguard on duty. Swimming is at your own risk.
