Is there an age requirement?

Yes.  We typically don't rent to vacationing students under 25.  We have made exceptions in the past for responsible groups willing to jump through some extra hoops.  Contact us to find out if we can work something out for you.

Do you have my dates available?

We are very diligent about keeping our calendar up to date, so check it out by clicking this link to the calendar.

How do I make a reservation?

Let us know your dates, how many guests (adults, children and pets), the name of the person signing the agreement and we will send you the rental agreement and confirmation along with instructions for finalizing your reservation. 

What is the total cost including fees and taxes?

Check out our rates page for details.  The combined Florida state and county tax rate is currently 11%.  There is a cleaning fee of $75 and a pet fee of $150 if you stay more than 4 days or $75 if you stay 4 days or less.  There is a reservation deposit of $200 that converts to a damage deposit when you check in and is refundable after you check out provided there are no damages.

When do I need to make payments?

There is a $200 reservation deposit required for us to reserve your dates.  This deposit turns into a damage deposit when you check in.  It is fully refundable after you check out provided there are no damages.  You can make your reservation deposit by selecting the PayPal button on our rates page.

50% of the balance is due 60 days in advance of your check in date and the remainder is due 14 days in advance of your check in date.  If you are making a reservation inside of 60 days or 14 days you will need to make the payments that would have been due if you had booked sooner.

How do we make payment?

The reservation deposit can be made by selecting the PayPal button on our rates page. 

When we send you a rental agreement and confirmation for your signature we will also send you invoices from PayPal through which you can pay electronically via credit card, debit card or PayPal.  We also accept personal checks if you are renting enough in advance.

What are the rental terms?

You can view our rental agreement by following the link at the bottom of the rates page or by clicking here.

What time is check in and check out?

Check in is after 3pm and check out is by 11am.  On occassion we don't have guests checking out the day you are checking in so we will let you know if you can check in early!

How far is it to the beach?

It is a 90 second walk to the beach!  You can see the water from the house.

How many does your house sleep?

6 people.  There are 2 bedrooms each with a queen sized bed and private bathrooms as well as a queen sleeper sofa with a full bath on the main floor.

Does it really have 3 full bathrooms?

It sure does!  It is great for everyone trying to get ready at the same time.

Is the pool shared?

Yes, but there are only 8 homes in the community and we have only ever run into other people at the pool one time since we have owned it.

Is there a fenced yard for our pets?

Yes, there is a small fenced back yard that is shaded.  The balcony can get very hot so we put our dogs in the back to lounge outside when the sun is on the balcony.

What is the best way to contact you for a quick response?

It is difficult to reach us via phone.  We both work and have little kids, so the best way to contact us is via email.  We will respond as soon as we are able.  Then we can respond late at night if necessary without worrying about returning calls too late.

"All I can say is wow... it is even better than the pictures and description would make you think. From the time you pull in to park in the separated spaces (2) for your beach house to the time you settle in to a very comfortable pillow top bed for a very secure nights rest, luxury and comfort.  Families should quit the Inns, Hotels and Motels and go for the best family experience"
