★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★
Heath, safety, and wellbeing of our guests are of utmost importance to us. For this reason, we use a thorough and extensive process of cleaning after each check-out.

We charge a pet fee of $100 per reservation for 2 pets maximum.

*If you neglect to inform us ahead of time that you are bringing a pet with you than we reserve the right to either TERMINATE your stay early or charge an additional $100 on top of the original pet fee.

The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming we can offer this at all (we often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):

1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $50

1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $100

2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $200

These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes our cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which we hold them to.

REFUND DISCLAIMER:
Please note that if a refund is issued for your booking, the processing fee of 3.9% will not be refunded. The refunded amount will be the total paid minus the 3.9% processing fee per Stripe’s return policy. This applies to direct bookings and bookings made through select booking channels. Thank you for your understanding.

departure.
● Do not open the windows. This is due to the extra security measures we have installed.

● The storage room is to remain closed at all times.
● Consumables such as condiments or snacks may be left behind by previous guests if they are not empty. We try our very best to ensure that it is not expired or stale. HOWEVER, ultimately, it is up to the guests’
discretion and inspection to consume these items if they wish. The host does not take any responsibility
for the consumables.
● Please do not rearrange the furniture.
● If guests are found to have had a party without host permission which results in additional cleaning or
maintenance required, guests will be responsible for additional cleaning charges. In the unfortunate

Worst VRBO experience EVER!!!
We were traveling for a baseball tournament, but hurricane Milton interfered with those plans. A week prior to our arrival I contacted the host about possibly canceling the reservation and he insisted that I could cancel but wouldn’t receive a refund per their policy. We forwent the tournament a decided on a nice family weekend & arrived on Friday. The property was a wreck! The grass hadn’t been mowed, the pool was a disaster (the skimmer basket was completely full & the pump never came on while we were there), the trash bins were completely full, & doing anything outside was an impossibility because of the mosquitoes. I contacted the host about my concerns and them providing the service that was advertised upon renting the property; 15 hrs. later I received a response that they were doing “all they could” to rectify the issues, but because of the storm things were difficult to navigate. On Sunday I received a message from the host stating someone was at the property cleaning the pool. We rushed back thinking we were finally going to be able to enjoy the property we rented specially for the pool, but no one was there, and the pool was still in no condition for swimming (apparently the team had “car trouble”). I contacted the host about a partial refund for the poor quality of our stay and he stated that they were “committed to making things right.” I have not received any type of refund & the host has gone radio silent & won’t message me back. Don’t waste your money!

A horrible time
We went to Jacksonville to spend Easter with our son who's in college. We rented this one because it had a pool. We get there on Saturday night and the pool hasn't been cleaned in a LONG Time and there was nothing for us to clean it with. I message the property manager and he did message me back at 11pm and again the next morning. We get up the next morning to toilets over flowing, plumbing backing up in the shower and no ability to use the water. The property manager was not pleasant and accused us of flushing something. Later that day (it was Easter so we understand ) after 5 plumbers come out and access the situation. They find that it's something in the line thinking it has a crack or something. We get a message saying there is nothing they can do and they will refund us for one night. We leave and drive 6 hours home on Sunday night because we have NO working toilets. We are one month out, We haven't received any refunds, we were only there a few hours before we starting having this issue and believe a refund for the whole stay should be offered. **Please note the house in itself is very nice and while the plumbing issue is something that can happen anywhere, the property manager is failing to manage the situation. I've contacted VRBO and they say they are waiting to hear from the property manager.

Adorable Cottage Feel
My parents, two children and I stayed for two nights. It was a quiet neighborhood, very clean inside, but we enjoyed the backyard and board games the most! The hosts thought of everything as far as kitchen items and towels even down to extra toothbrushes! I communicated with the host due to an issue caused by my mother, sent pictures of the broken item and described what happened to cause the issue and everything went smoothly. I would definitely Stay here again and recommend it to friends and family!

Great stay
Chose this property for a week vacation with my gf. First time in Jacksonville. Other properties complained about neighborhoods, from this trip i realized its Jacksonville as a whole, its just a mix, didnt feel it was an issue. Beautiful house, loved the interior and the back yard. Great extras like the pool table. Used the kitchen to make eggs for breakfast and steaks for dinner. A block from a Winn-Dixie. Drove all around Jacksonville and was able to make it back to this home easily. Very happy with this stay just wish we could use the pool but it was a little cool outside so that wasnt in the cards for us.
