ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Guest Arrival is anytime 4pm EST or after. If the property is approved for early arrival, you will receive a message letting you know you can arrive early and we will activate the door code. If you do not receive a message, then the arrival will remain at 4pm EST.

If you have not departed by this time and do not have written prior approval for a late departure, you will be assessed a $50 late departure fee for every 30 minute delay. The Cleaning Services we use schedule their teams for multiple cleans in advance and any unplanned delays create issues. With unscheduled/unapproved late departures, they are required to bring in additional team members to assist, which incurs a higher cost that must be charged. Any requests made for a late departure must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance of departure time and are subject to approval/availability.

My family and I came in from out of town for a wedding! We stayed here and it was simply amazing! The pictures online were just as accurate as in person. The house was very spacious, well kept, and clean.

The back yard fence was falling down and missing or broke boards in it, the living room shag rug with filthy, with dog pee stains all over it, it smelled real bad, I had to mop all the floors made our socks dirty, other than that the beds were ok and enough space.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. We’re glad to hear the beds were comfortable and that the home had plenty of space for your stay.
The home was fully cleaned immediately prior to your arrival, and we were there with our cleaning service while they completed the turnover, including mopping the floors right before your check-in. Our rugs are also cleaned regularly as part of our maintenance schedule.
Thank you as well for pointing out the fence. We stopped by to inspect it and did not find any areas where it was falling down. We did notice a few panels that needed to be secured and one that needed to be replaced, which we are addressing.
We appreciate the feedback and are always working to keep the home comfortable and well maintained for all of our guests. We look forward to welcoming future visitors.
Thank you,
Bart, Jeff & Sue
Our family enjoyed the property! The home was very spacious, accommodating and pleasant. The only complaint is the inside temperature. The home stays very cool, so on the cool days outside the house is colder.

Hi Jolynn!
Thanks for staying with us - we are very happy you enjoyed your stay! We do tend to stay on the cooler side - but we do have heat - so depending on what you set it at - would warm you up. Thank you again - and best wishes to you! Bart, Jeff & Sue
We needed a place to stay near Starke, FL and this was a better choice than the local hotels. The house was clean, nicely decorated & had comfortable beds. I do wish there was a kuerig machine though. But all in all, it was a great experience. We will likely stay here again for our next visit.

Unfortunate gathering for a funeral. House was clean and adequate. Would have benefitted with a couple more basics and a tea kettle.

Thanks for staying with us Dean - we include in our description and amenities everything that is included at Sunny Lemon and we were happy we were able to accommodate an early arrival for your stay. Previous guests have just used the coffee maker and used it for hot water and then added their tea bags. A specific tea kettle isn't an item that we have available. But thanks for your feedback!
Best Wishes,
Bart & Sue
Sunny Lemmon just as described. Everything as pictured. Location was convenient to stores and dinning.

Very nice arrival, as the house had been prepared for our stay! A+
