✅ Cancellation Policy: Please review our cancellation policy, as our calendar will be blocked once you make your reservation and as individual owners, we cannot afford to refund outside of our policy. ✅ Refunds within the cancellation time frame are subject to 3% credit card surcharge that is nonrefundable. ✅ This home is equipped with pool door alarms on every pool door for our guests' safety! ✅ We can not give any refunds for COVID, other illnesses, medical emergencies, funerals, bad weather, or any other unexpected occurrence that is out of our control; therefore, we STRONGLY suggest purchasing travel insurance. ✅ Hurricane season is June through November. We STRONGLY encourage purchasing travel insurance for your trip if your reservation falls within these dates, as we can only refund if there is an official, mandatory evacuation (not a state of emergency) called for the island. ✅ There are two exterior cameras: one positioned above the front door monitoring the entrance, and another on the exterior stairs with a view of the pool. These cameras are utilized solely for insurance and safety purposes and are not monitored unless a safety concern or neighbor complaint arises. ✅ No parties permitted, per OTA regulations. ✅ Pets permitted with a $150 fee for up to two dogs (no cats). ✅ This home is a three-story home - bedroom four on the bottom level, three bedrooms on the second level, and kitchen and main living on the third floor to take advantage of the views of the waterway. ✅ This is Florida, where bugs are plentiful. While we diligently spray monthly, the ever-changing temperatures and occasional rain can sometimes invite a stray bug or two indoors. We do not offer refunds if you happen to see a bug. ✅ Fee for pool heating is $65/day. There is no safety fence around the immediate perimeter of the pool; the yard is fully fenced. ✅ Pool and hot-tub rules are covered in an email to booked guests and posted outside of the pool. ✅ This property has special local compliance requirements, which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (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 $48 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. 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. ✅ Check out is 10 am promptly, as our home takes a minimum of five hours to clean thoroughly. ***Our cleaners charge $50 for every 15-minute increment after 10 am, and guests will be responsible for paying***
