The deck and patio have string lights, dining tables, outdoor sofas, a park-style charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal), a giant four-in-a-row game and an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand. The heated swim spa sits on the lower deck. Please rinse off before getting in and keep pool and beach toys out, since extra sand means new filters and an extra cleaning charge.

GOOD TO KNOW

- Minimum age to rent is 25. A signed rental agreement, the scheduled security deposit (a credit card hold released after check-out if there's no damage) and an uploaded photo ID for age verification are due within 7 days of booking.

- Maximum 16 guests. Only the guests on the reservation may stay.

- Quiet hours start at 9:30 PM and are strictly enforced so everyone, including our neighbors, gets a restful night. No parties or events.

- No smoking, vaping, e-cigarettes or drugs anywhere on the property.

- The swim spa is not fenced, so please supervise children around it at all times.

- There are 5 steps to enter the home, and the lower level has 7-foot ceilings.

- Two security cameras record the driveway at the front of the house.

- Florida's warm, humid weather brings insects, so the home gets regular pest control. Keeping doors closed and food put away helps keep them outside.

- We recommend travel insurance, such as Cancel For Any Reason coverage.

- If these house rules won't work for your group, you can cancel penalty-free within 24 hours of booking.
