Our Tropical Environment
Florida’s sunshine brings beautiful nature! The property receives regular, professional pest control, but occasionally a small outdoor critter may try to say hello. Keeping doors and windows closed helps keep them outside.

Our pool is professionally serviced twice weekly. Because the pool is uncaged, occasional leaves or debris from nearby trees may fall in. A skimmer net is provided if needed. Minor pest sightings or natural debris in the pool are part of our tropical environment and are not eligible for refunds.

Amenities
Occasionally furnishings or amenities may need repair or replacement due to normal wear or unexpected maintenance. We always do our very best to restore the home to listed conditions and will communicate with guests if anything changes.

Dog
One fully house-trained small dog may be allowed with prior approval ($200 pet fee). A second may be considered for an additional fee.

Dog must:
• be fully house-trained, no puppies please
• be crated when left alone
• stay off furniture
• not enter the pool
Proof of flea/tick prevention required. We provide a crate, bowls, mats, and a leash.
Cats and other pets are not permitted. Pet must be listed on reservation and fee paid prior to arrival.

✨ Thank you for helping us keep Saltwater Siesta clean, peaceful, and welcoming for every guest. We are so honored to host you!
