Step through the back door into your private backyard oasis — a true highlight of the property.
Enjoy the screened-in porch with a TV and mini fridge, then head to the pergola patio featuring a large outdoor TV, Traeger grill, gas grill, and a propane fire pit.
Guests can relax, grill, or unwind with darts and cornhole — just please clean up and replace the covers when done. The outdoor space is ideal for enjoying Florida evenings while respecting the peaceful neighborhood.
⸻
🔇 Outdoor Noise Awareness
To maintain a positive relationship with our wonderful neighbors, the home includes a small outdoor noise-monitoring device. It measures only decibel levels — not audio or video — and is designed simply to help keep outdoor activity within local noise limits.
Normal conversation, indoor sounds, or television will never trigger it. It’s there to ensure everyone can enjoy the area peacefully, and it rarely activates unless noise becomes excessive late at night.
Quiet hours begin at 10 PM, and guests are asked to keep outdoor volume respectful after that time. Unauthorized parties or loud events are not allowed and will be addressed promptly.
⸻
🐾 Pet Policy
We’re proud to be a pet-friendly home and welcome up to two well-behaved dogs per stay.

• $50 fee per dog (charged at booking)

• Pets should not be left unattended indoors unless crated
• No pets on furniture or bedding (bring a blanket if needed)
• Always clean up after your pet — waste bags provided

• Turn off lights, electronics, and appliances (except A/C)
• Empty kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor trash cans
• Return remotes and items to their proper places
• Run the dishwasher if used

• Guests enjoy keyless entry for simple, contactless check-in
⸻
🚭 No Smoking or Drugs
For everyone’s comfort and safety, smoking and drug use are strictly prohibited inside the home — this includes tobacco, vaping, marijuana, or other substances.
Outdoor smoking is permitted if cigarette butts are disposed of properly. Any indoor evidence of smoking or drug use may result in a $250 cleaning fee and immediate termination of stay.
⸻
👋 Host Interaction
You’ll have complete privacy during your stay, but I’m local and happy to help if you need anything — whether it’s a restaurant recommendation or a quick fix. Message anytime, and I’ll respond promptly.
⸻
