Other things to note:
►The whole house and yard are yours to enjoy during your stay*! Please note the backyard is not fenced and our property extends beyond the back lawn into densely forested ground that is not possible to walk in.
*With the exceptions of locked supply closet in kitchen and locked tool chest in master bedroom closet.
►With the natural beauty of the Forgotten Coast comes a bit of wildlife. There is a local bear who occasionally gets into trash cans and takes trash to the wooded area behind backyard (unfenced). A fox, armadillo, small turtle and small frogs have also occasionally been spotted in the area bordering the backyard.
►Due to high mineral content, our tap water can give off a sulphur smell which generally fades several hours after guests begin using the water. We recommend using the refrigerator's filtered water for drinking, although the tap water is safe to drink.
►If you have an ADA Service Animal, please note that per VRBO policy as related to federal law, "handlers must have their animal under control either on a leash or by verbal command if they are unable to use a leash." This means that the service animal must never be left unattended at the property at any time. Additionally as we are a no-pet property, for the health and comfort of our other guests, service animals are not allowed on beds or other furniture at any time.
IMPORTANT: Per Florida law, we require proof of rabies vaccination for ADA Service Animals prior to stay.
►Please let us know right away if there's ever an issue at or with the property that impacts the enjoyment of your stay so that we can help resolve it. Our guests are our top priority!
