We set the house up with enough toilet paper and paper towels to get you started but guests are responsible to supply the rest.

Q. What about water conservation and rinsing off sand before entering the house ?

We are committed to the conservation and protection of all our resources. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our efforts. Water is one of our most important life resources. Please help us protect and conserve this vital source. Here are some ways you can help:

TURN THE FAUCET OFF WHILE BRUSHING TEETH OR SHAVING
DO NOT USE TOILET AS A TRASH RECEPTACLE
BE SURE ALL FAUCETS ARE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF
REPORT LEAKY FAUCETS AND REUSE TOWELS

We have showers on both sides of each house. Please use them to remove any sand before entering the house. We also have vacuums at each house if needed.

Q. Will we see sea turtles and key deer?
A. We have sea turtles that come to our shores to lay eggs during certain times of the year. Please do not disturb them or their nests. Bright lights at night make them lose their sense of direction as they confuse them with the moon that normally guides them. The county can fine us if lights on the back porch are not turned off. Please be advised that lights on the porch must be out by 10pm. You can use flash lights or bring lanterns for your use.

Key deer sometimes come on our property, please do not feed them or disturb them. Same goes for any wild animal you may see. Please do not leave food or trash outside as the deer or other animals can get to it.

A. Green House guests please park next to your house and Grey House guests please park next to yours. Please try to keep the circular driveway clear. Large boats could be difficult to get through our gates, please discuss with Cadmier in advance.

Q. Do you have paddle boards and kayaks for use?
A. Yes, please share them with guests staying next door. Also please rinse them after each use. .

Q. Is scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming and fishing allowed?
A. Yes, they are all allowed. Please bring your own gear as we do not offer them on the property. You can fish or swim off our dock at your own risk . We have great reefs for snorkeling and scuba diving.
Our area is one of the best in the world for Tarpon fishing. You can catch dolphin (not flipper), snapper, grouper and hogs fish as well. During the right season we also have the best lobster and stone crab right off our beaches. Please respect the space of other guests. Do not leave any garbage on dock as it blows into water and causes great harm to our sensitive ecosystem.


Q. Do you have a pool?
A. No, not at this time but we will in the near future. At the moment we do have a baby pool for your use.

Q. Do you have air conditioning, ice and freezer storage ?
A. Yes, the houses do have air conditioning. We ask our guests not to lower the A/C below 72 as it can freeze up with the warm weather outside. If you have any problems with the A/C please notify the caretaker as soon as possible.
We have a 300lb ice machine in our shed and a large freezer as well. Please understand the ice machine and the large freezer are for both houses. If you're planning on doing a big fishing or boat trip we recommend you bring extra bags of ice .

Q. Is smoking allowed in the house? What about cooking smoke?
A. SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED inside the house. We have smoke alarms and they are connected to the fire department. If we get fined the guest will be responsible for the fee.

While cooking in the Main House please crack a window open by the stove or the smoke alarm will go off. It is a gas stove and it gets really smoky. The Guest House has an electric stove and oven.

Extremely disappointed! Caretaker lives on ground floor and u have to walk up to 2nd floor to main house. Bedrooms are up a 3rd floor. I told manager my 77 year old mom was with us and asked if house was accommodating. Was told yes! Trash accumulated along Beach. States private but is shared with larger house right next to it, so are the kayaks and paddle boards. The only access to water is 1 small ladder. Caretaker told us there were nurse sharks under pier but left out the baby reef sharks! Sewage smell was awful! They pumped twice while we were there. Checked out early to move to better beach access. Called manager 11 times and lt 2 messages before he texted me and said to message him! Tried to get a refund for the last day and was told no. I submitted pictures of the trash there so long it was bleached out.

We were unaware that we were not renting the entire house. When we arrived we were told someone else lived on the ground floor. We felt like that should have been made clear in the description and left after one night.

One of a kind location!!!
One of a kind location!!!
The house was clean and well stocked and the owner was very responsive. The beach area and wildlife was awesome, we saw iguanas, tarpon, shark, lion fish, hermit crabs and barracuda. For our stay, it was windier than normal which caused the beach to accumulate a lot of grass and some trash from the sea which was not cleared while we were there. It was a hindrance for the kids to play in the water in front of the beach and started to smell toward the end of our stay (which is why I rated cleanliness 4 stars but it would be 4.5 if that was an option as weather cannot be controlled). I was under the impression the house we were renting was the house in front of the dock (still being renovated) but instead it is the light blue house behind it. Also, I was not aware the property manager lived in the bottom floor of that home (which is why I rated 4 stars on the description). Those discrepancies did not interfere with us as there were no guests in the other homes on the property so we did not have to share the amenities. I assume the description will be clarified when the dock front home is finished and ready for rental. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for us all.
