Newly remodeled million dollar Beach House is in a quiet residential neighborhood. This is a perfect spot for families. There’s a private backyard pool. On the way back from the beach there’s a hot water shower behind the fence where guests can rinse sand off. The beach is a five minute walk from the front door. For the guests, there are bikes, surfboards, boogie boards, beach towels, coolers, a beach bag, and a wagon to take everything down to the beach.
VRBO RULES & HOUSE MANUAL
If your reservation has been confirmed, that is an indication that you have read and agree to the below House Manual Rules.
House Manual Rules set expectations with guests, like limits on smoking, pets, areas that are off-limits, and permission to have visitors.
Please read the entire House Manual.
This is a no pet home.
This is no smoking home.
If either one of these rules are violated there will be an additional $250 service fee.
Check in is 4 PM. Providing all of the requirements have been met, I will message you the code. If all of your guests are not registered, within 48 hours of your reservation arrival time, I may cancel your reservation.
To enter the home once the code is received, simply use the code to enter the front door. The code is a 6 digit code. Enter the six numbers and then WAIT until the dead bolt completely moves to the left. The green light indicates when the lock is open. Trying to force the door open prior to the dead bolt moving over may freeze the lock and prolong entrance. Guests will have complete privacy, but I will be around if you should need anything or if the neighbors call me.
It is the responsibility of the renter to make sure all guests are listed. As the house is equipped for 8. Eight guests is a comfortable number and the cleaning crew is used to cleaning for 8. With approval, up to 4 additional guests may stay at the home. The fee for any approved additional guests over the 8 guest limit is $50 per guest per day.
If there are additional unapproved guests, an additional cleaning fee of $250.00 per day will be applied and or all guests will be asked to leave the home. To add additional guests contact VRBO to pay a fee of $50 per additional guest per day. If you have more than eight guests and you have not received approval or informed and paid VRBO, I may ask you to leave the premises.
Also prior to check in, inform me how many vehicles, with makes and models, will be at the beach house. This a small area with a neighborhood watch, an association and a tight street. The driveway is available for parking, but there is no parking inside the garage. Additionally, If quests are having a calm event or small gathering, let me know how many additional cars will be there.
Prior to the day of your check in, let me know of your approximate arrival time; if I can arrange am earlier check in, I will. Especially if our communication is on an exceptional level.
The house is in a quiet up scale neighborhood. The neighbors are all very nice and keep to themselves… until they need to stop loud parties, noises or disruptive things especially after 10 PM. I am asking that all guests conduct themselves accordingly, as if though you lived here and those neighbors were your neighbors. On occasions, where the noise level is too loud or too disruptive or too late, the police will be called by those neighbors. So it is very important that you treat the outside as if you were part of the neighborhood and not a disruptive guest. I thank you for understanding and your cooperation.
The kitchen contains all basics necessary to eat and cook. There are plates, cups, and mugs for eight guests. Plastic plates and plastic cups are also in the kitchen should you need plastic plates for children or plastic cups to take to the beach or out to the pool. Basic cooking vessels including pots, pans, cookie sheets, a griddle, etc are located in the kitchen as are a variety of utensils and knives, forks and serving spoons. Should you need any cooking vessel or anything that is not located in the kitchen, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your request.
There is a “starter” amount of tea and coffee, and coffee filters, to get started. There is a filtered water tap inside the fridge, on the left wall of the fridge (not on the door). Basic spices are also supplied as well. Basic condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, and other condiments are also supplied. If you need additional supplies such as paper towels, napkins, tin foil or anything else that you normally use or cook with there is a Publix and or a Trader Joe’s to the south on A1A.
Again, If you need replacements, additional or any other supplies, there is a convenience store .2 miles to the north and a Trader Joes and Publix are nearby.
There is no laundry facility on the property for guests. There is a laundromat on 16th Avenue South. It is located behind the gas station on 3rd Street and 16th Avenue.
There is a dustpan and a broom in the kitchen if any sweeping is needed to be done. A limited supply of cleaning wipes, spray and paper towels are also under the sink to assist you in your cleanup of the use of the Beach House.
The cabinets are labeled for your convenience. If anything is needed that is not in the house, please reach out to me and hopefully I can accommodate any request or steer you in the right direction.
An iron and ironing board are located in the kitchen. The kitchen also contains plastic bags should you need to transport anything or take wet clothes home. There are rags in case anything needs to be cleaned, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and beach towels for all guests. If you have dirty rags or towels they can go under the island in the plastic container.
In the garage there are two pack n plays for guests use. Also, there are coolers in order to carry food and drinks to the beach or for a day trip to one of the surrounding cities. Saint Augustine is 30 minutes south on A1A. There is access to beach cruisers, a double kayak, boogie boards and 2 surf boards. Two locks have been provided for the use of the beach bikes. If a beach bike, or any item, is lost, stolen or damaged a replacement fee will be charged to the renter. A large beach bag and a beach umbrella are on the south wall of the garage for guest use.
There is an assortment of board games located in the coffee table and wet bar in the living room for your enjoyment. The TV should be signed into Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix. The WiFi password is sandysheets.
When taking any drinks out to the pool, please use only plastic cups or cans and avoid carrying any glass into the backyard onto the pavers. Broken glass is extremely hard to clean completely from the pavers.
The jacuzzi, spa or pool heater is not available and is not included in the rental. Any tampering or attempted use of the heater will incur a $250.00 service fee by the renter.
There is a barbecue available for guests. If you choose not to clean the barbecue, the cleaning crew will be happy to clean it for you for a $25 fee which will be applied to your account. Also, underneath the barbecue is the LP gas tank, if that doesn’t have enough gas or runs out gas, you can obtain gas at the gas station 2 minutes away to the north; you can swap out tanks at the gas station.
When you go out during the day, please, turn the air up so you’re not cooling an empty house or if it is heat, turn the heat down so you’re not heating an empty house. This little bit helps tremendously in keeping the cost down.
If your stay includes a Sunday evening stay, please take the green lidded trash container out to the street and bring it back Monday morning. If your stay includes a Monday evening stay, please take the yellow lidded container, for recycling, out to the street and bring it back Tuesday morning. If your stay includes a Wednesday evening stay, please take out the green lidded trashcan to the street and bring it back Thursday morning.
If you are staying into a Thursday or Tuesday morning, the sprinkler goes off at 6 AM. You may hear it in the master bedroom or you may sleep through it, but if you do hear it, no worries it’s just the sprinkler.
Periodically, I will be coming to the property to make sure the pool chemicals are correct or the system is running smoothly. Hopefully, you won’t even know I’m there. I will give a heads up.
A pool company and a yard company comes and takes care of the pool and yard. The pool company comes Saturday. The yard company comes every Friday morning. These two service persons should not bother you at all. If they do please call me and let me know.
There is a park straight out from the driveway. This is NOT included with renting my home. That park belongs to the PUD in that development and not to anyone on Madrid Street. If you use that park, I will be fined and I will have to pass the fine to you. Please do not use that park...thank you so much....trying to get along. :)
I have been asked about the locked doors or closets. They are the owner’s closets. I do live here when I am not renting and this is my home. So those contain my clothes and my things.
Upon the 10:00 a.m. check out please complete the following:
Turn the air conditioning to 80 degrees or the heat to 64 degrees
Wash and put away any used dishes
Make sure all beds that have been slept in are not remade... strip the beds and leave the sheets on the floor..
Turn all lights and fans off
Make sure the garage doors are closed and the front door is locked.
Check out time is 10 AM.
Thank you so much for choosing The Beach House!
