We provide a few essentials to make you feel more at home when you arrive, trash bags in all trash cans and a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. These items are not replenished. When you run out, you’ll need to buy more. Any other items you need will have to be purchased and brought in or packed with you (like shampoo, conditioner, etc.).

The pool at the home can be heated for an extra charge. If you’d like it heated, please let us know at least 48 hours before check-in, as it takes time to fully heat the pool.

A BBQ grill with a new gas propane tank is available for use for an additional fee.

There is no daily housekeeping service, but a mid-stay cleaning service can be requested for an additional fee. Please let us know in advance so we can coordinate.

Florida law does not allow opened food to be kept in the kitchen or refrigerator, so all food items are removed after each guest checks out. Therefore there will be no supply of items, such as condiments, coffee grounds, sugar, cooking oil, etc., prior to check-in. You’ll need to pick these up at the supermarket if you intend to cook at home.

Please use the trash bins in the property to dispose of all trash, including cardboard boxes. Please discard trash daily and upon checkout. Trash must be tied up in 13-gallon (or larger) plastic garbage bags. PLEASE DO NOT DISPOSE OF LOOSE TRASH! IT MUST ALWAYS BE SECURED OR IT WILL NOT GET PICKED UP AND THERE IS A $150 FINE. (You'll find trash bags in the kitchen closet. Additional trash bags are available for purchase in the clubhouse's sundries shop or a supermarket). The raccoon strip on the outside canister must always be secured.

Any excessive trash that does not fit in the proper bags must be taken out to the large trash compactor on Hidden Grove Rd. next to the tennis court. For much larger items, a trash compactor is available in Phase 1 of Emerald Island.

Guests will be requested to sign a Rental Agreement upon booking confirmation.

A security deposit may be required prior to arrival or at check-in, subject to the booking platform used to make the reservation. This fee is charged as a credit card transaction and refunded after check-out, provided all terms are met.
