I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to your home away from home. It's our little piece of paradise. It is my goal to provide you with a safe, worry-free stay. Upon your departure, I want you to be able to give us a nice 5-star review.

The unit has been cleaned prior to your arrival, however if there are any issues please contact us immediately so it can be resolved. Please take your time getting acquainted with the unit and discovering all of the accommodations.

I have hired a Management Service to help resolve any issues. You can reach them anytime at 941-275-6345.

The TVs have a Roku connected to them. You can get all the basic channels on the DirecTV streaming service — just look for the big "D" in the Roku apps.

You can also enjoy the thousands of free TV shows and movies that come with the Roku service, or you can connect your own streaming accounts such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.

Security

  • Ring security cameras are in use at the driveway and backyard, as well as the doorbell.
  • Please note there may be landscapers, pest control techs and other maintenance workers at the property from time to time without notice.

Drinking Water

Garbage & Recycling

  • Garbage bins are outside on the side of the house. Pickup is Thursdays — please put the bins by the street Wednesday night.
  • The regular garbage bin should be on one side of the driveway and the recyclables bin on the other side.
  • The opening must face the street so the automated arms can reach and lift it.
  • I am trying out a new service that will do this for me, so you might see this already done.

Plumbing

Please do not put disposable wipes in the toilet as they will clog the system. Only use single-ply toilet paper. Any plumber fees incurred to unclog pipes will be billed to the guest.

Grill

  • Outdoor cooking may be done with the supplied grill. Additional propane is the responsibility of the guest.
  • When you use the grill, please observe the three C's — Caution, Cleanliness and Consideration.
  • When the grill has cooled, please return it to the grill location and replace the protective cover.

Firepit

  1. Be sure the master valve on the propane tank is in the open position.
  2. Push and turn the control knob to the start position until it lights the flame and it stays lit for a few seconds.
  3. Then adjust the knob to your desired setting.
