Welcome to Florida!

In addition to our beautiful beaches and sunshine, Florida’s nature, trees, and climate can sometimes attract unwelcome insect visitors like palmetto bugs, mosquitoes, flies, bees, ants, and wasps.

Our property is located in a humid subtropical area, so it's also normal to see wildlife like squirrels, birds, raccoons, snakes, bats, spiders, and occasionally small rodents.

We take every measure to prevent pests with regular professional pest control.

If a bug sneaks inside, feel free to evict it yourself, or let us know, we’ll be happy to re-treat the property if needed.

To help prevent these visitors, avoid leaving doors open for long periods and don’t leave food or crumbs unattended inside or outside.

Refunds, discounts, or negative reviews will not be accepted for wildlife or insect sightings; thanks for understanding.

After all, it’s all part of the Florida experience!

Exactly as described in the listing

Place was clean and suited our needs. Mini split AC’s in the bedrooms kept us nice and cool. Kitchen had a fridge, microwave, coffee pot and cooktop. Plates, bowls, cups and utensils. Also had some pots and pans. There is a washer and dryer located at the base of the stairs leading up to the apartment.

Great little apartment

It was very clean. My only wish was an oven and maybe a step stool in the bedroom. The King size bed is pretty high off the ground and I am very short so it was difficult to get into the bed. Otherwise everything was great

2nd time here

We liked it so much the first time, we booked it again! Very spacious. Only thing that disappointed us was that the oven was removed the 2nd visit and when doing an extended stay, that was difficult. I would recommend they put in an oven like they used to. How are you supposed to cook a pizza!!?
