Other Things to Note:
📑 Please review and agree to our house rules prior to booking. List of house rules can be found under the "House Rules" tab on Airbnb. Please click on "show more."
Our property is located in Palma Sola Park, a safe and very quiet residential neighborhood. We intend our vacation home to be used as a peaceful getaway. Please keep noise at a reasonable level at all times. Excessive children screaming or loud music (day or night) disturbs our neighbors greatly. Our Backyard Wonderland is not suitable for guests who plan to invite a lot of visitors or have noisy gatherings in the backyard. We have a strict NO PARTY policy. We value our community and strictly enforce the neighborhood noise restrictions, day and night.
Our spa is set to 100 degrees. Guest will have acess to the Pentair control panel to turn the spa and the jets on. Our pool is heated up to 86 degrees generally from November through April. On colder days (< 70 degrees), our pool may not reach set temperature as the electric pool heaters rely on ambient air. Most heat pumps do not function when outside temperature is less than 55 degrees. Please observe the following pool rules:
◼Do not leave children unattended outside
◼ No excessive yelling or screaming
◼Turn on patio door alarm (safety for younger children)
◼No glass, or anything breakable in or around the pool
◼Swim at your own risk. This is a private home and there is no lifeguard
◼No diving
Please do not use indoor fireplace. Rather, enjoy the outdoor firepit by the gazebo. We do not supply firewood as they are easy breeding ground for mold and bugs. Firewood can be easily purchased at Publix or Ace hardware store, both 5-8 minutes drive.
If using the outdoor BBQ grill, please shut off propane after each use and clean grill after each use. Cleaning supplies can be found under the kitchen sink.
We do our best to maintain the quality of our property by taking care of it inside and out. While we ask our weekly maintenance crew to come before guests arrive, sometime it is not possible due to their busy schedules. Occasionally, you might see our lawncare, pool, pest, and pond maintenance vendors on the property.
Our property is a privately owned home, and therefore sometimes appliances or household systems (HVAC, Plumbing, WIFI, etc.) may unexpectedly malfunction. While we will do everything in our power to address any functionality issues as quickly as possible, we cannot offer refunds- full or partial, cancellations, or alternate accommodations unless the property is deemed uninhabitable.
Please also note Florida is a buggy state. Our home is professionally sprayed quarterly to control endemic insects. However, please understand it is not possible to get rid of all bugs inside or outside. Please remember to pack bug spray.
We strongly encourage our guests to purchase travel insurance as it provides the peace of mind and financial protection in case unexpected events occur. Unfortunately, we do not process refunds outside of the cancellation policy. Thank you for understanding.
Please note that a $75 pet fee per pet per stay applies, with a max of 2 pets. Kindly inform us if you'll be bringing your furry friends so we can send you the fee request promptly.
Please take note that we require all guests to sign the Rental Agreement and fill out a Check In Form prior to your arrival.
We look forward to hosting your tropical family vacation to Anna Maria and Bradenton!
