Good to Know
Pool Heating
The pool can be heated to 86°F for a daily charge. Please request pool heat in advance so the pool has time to reach temp prior to your arrival.
There is no functioning hot tub. While the pool has a built-in spa-style area, that area is not connected to a separate heater and does not operate as a hot tub.
Air Conditioning
Like many historic Florida homes, the air conditioning system may not always be able to cool the home more than approximately 15 degrees below the outdoor temperature during the hottest part of the day, expect around 76F. In the evening and overnight, the home typically cools down to the desired temperature, expect around 72F in the heat of summer. In the heat of the summer these temps feel more than comfortable!
We also recommend using the ceiling fans and provided floor fans in both the main house and cabana if you want a little cooler feeling.
The home’s air conditioning is remotely managed to prevent accidental system freeze-ups. Guests are welcome to message us with any comfort concerns during their stay.
Parking
Parking is limited to one vehicle in the driveway. Street parking is also available where permitted. Guests are responsible for following all posted parking rules. Any parking tickets, fines, or towing fees are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
