Other things to note
*We require the booking party to be at least 25. If there is anyone under 21, your group must be accompanied by an parent or guardian. No exceptions! No one allowed at the property other than who is on the reservation unless approved by host. If we find out you had more in your party than what's listed you will be subject an extra fee of $40 per person per night.

*We offer a heated pool for an extra fee of $35/day. Please ask us upon booking. We need to know beforehand so we can have it on and ready for your stay. If the weather is between 50-60 degrees or colder, we may not be able to accommodate the pool heater as they do not run efficiently or effectively with temperatures this cold. Also, please note that pool heaters do not work like hot tubs. They take about a daybto heat and thats why we have a 2 day minimum.

* Because we are located near a wildlife sanctuary, please understand that there are alligators, bugs, snakes and other wildlife present outside and may get more no-see-ums and mosquitoes than normal. No-see-ums are hard to repel, but we recommend Skin-So-Soft! Since bugs come with the territory with being in FL, we cannot do anything about the bugs outside! Its hard to predict day to day when they will be bad as weather, wind and humidity are also a factor.

What are no-see-ums? A harmless yet pesky insect that is more annoying than anything - A tiny biting fly! What are no-see-ums attracted too? People!! Why?? Because we give off body heat-they love the heat, body oder-one of the most attractive smells is body oder and perspiration, certains perfumes can also be attractive and carbon dioxide-every time you exhale, you release carbon dioxide and this is the primary thing that they are attracted to! So there really is no escaping them, but you can help repel them. Lemongrass, citronella and eucalyptus are some natural remedies or bug spray - skin-so-soft works well! Helpful things for their itchy bites and inflammation are camphor, menthol and arnica.
