We just want to take this time to point out an important reminder that we do conduct a full inventory check both before you check-in and after you check out. We hope that you will treat our home as if it was your own.

Missing items will be charged against your stay and we certainly don’t want to have to do that. The following shows you the costs that may accumulate should items go missing.

Small towels = $10.00
Large towels = $20.00
Board games (missing or damaged) = $15.00
DVDs (missing or damaged) = $5.00
Bed sheets = $30.00
Pillow Cases = $10.00
Pillows = $30.00/each

Backyard board and bean toss game available. Charcoal grill and propane grill as well as all grilling utensils available at house. We also have a crib for babies and a high chair available and a desktop for people who need a space for work or school.

Have a boat? Great! You can find a public boat ramp (on lake Howard) less than half a mile away from the house. Lake Howard is part of the Chain O'Lakes that connects over 15 lakes! You can even visit Legoland a few lakes over and watch their ski shows! Lake Howard also has one of my personal favorite places to watch the sunset. Located half a mile away from the house, in front of the McDonalds, is a small amphitheater that leads onto a dock that is angled in the perfect position to view a sunset over a lake.

Not only are you half a mile away from the lakes, but you are also conveniently half a mile away from Downtown Winter Haven. Visit the boutiques, thrift stores, restaurants & bars, and more!

We have taken pleasure in making sure the home we are providing has the listed amenities available, that the home is clean, and well maintained. Although we do a thorough professional clean between each guest stay, we kindly ask that prior to leaving, you clean and put away any dishes or kitchenware used and put any dirty towels in the hamper. Also, please report any malfunctioning appliances or issues to us right away. The house is very comfortable, and we hope you love it as much as we do.

We want to emphasize that there is to be absolutely NO SMOKING in the home. Additionally, deep frying is not allowed, nor is cooking with any strong smelling spices. Guests have done this in the past and it has taken nearly three days to remove the strong odors from the house, even with our professional cleaning. If the home is found to have a pungent smell from either cooking or smoking following your stay, we will need to impose a $300 fine.

I have an extra guest fee of $8 per person/per night. If it is found that you have more guests staying the night than has been booked, you may be requested to leave the property without a refund.

Just inside the front door on a coffee table is a folder with information about the house and area. The house wifi password is there. When you arrive you can contact us if you have any problems or questions. You can call or text me, Layal 863-521-4743 We have a sign-in book also by the front door, if you would write in it about your experience at the end of your trip we would appreciate that. Please feel free to email, call or text about anything. Talk to you soon.
Thanks Layal
