Please do not a disturb the other guests or the cleaning crew by knocking on the door and asking them to let you in unless you have confirmed with the host prior.

We want to ensure our guests are not disturbed and our cleaning crew is able to clean as scheduled.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Florida is a humid, wet natural environment with lots of nature...many bugs and lizards are present in Florida. We have contracted for our pest control and they come monthly as well as on an as needed basis in the event it is a particular wet season.
Florida has a sub-tropical climate, it almost never gets even close to freezing, which leads to it being a desirable climate for lizards, and insects. While rare, and despite routine pest control, it is possible for an insect or lizards to get inside through an open door, window, etc. We DO NOT offer refunds for a bug, moth, mosquito, lizard or spider inside. Please keep doors and windows closed to prevent these situations from occurring.

Thank you for understanding.
