Rest assured, both beds are equipped with brand new mattresses to ensure a restful sleep.

Our yard is yours to use. However, we do ask that you be respectful of our neighbors. Currently, there is no fence separating the two properties, but we will be putting one up in the near future.

Guest access

Our air-conditioning system works fabulously. However, due to the Florida heat, it may take longer than expected to reach lower temperature settings. Keeping the curtains closed on hot, sunny days will definitely help.
We provide free high-speed fiber Wi-Fi and HBO Max. However, please note that there is no guarantee against potential outages, nor are we responsible if an outage occurs during your stay. Additionally, HBO Max is limited to 3 active TVs at one time.
