Supplies:
Each bathroom will have a roll of toilet paper in it to get you started. We also supply a roll of paper towel. Each trash bin will have a bag in it. If you need more of these items during your stay you will have to run to the store.

Grill:
We do have a grill on site to use. In the event the tank wasn't completely filled up or was emptied by the previous guest, just refill the current tank or grab a new one and send us a copy of the receipt to be reimbursed for the cost.

Pickle ball court:
This court is 20'x40' with a playing area of 16x36. We have paddles and balls on site. Because we are in a residential area to help keep the noise levels down we ask guests to use the pickle balls we provide. This will help keep the noise levels down while playing. When your not using the pickle ball court please keep the pickle ball paddles inside out of the rain/humidity. Lost or damaged pickle balls will result in a $10 charge per ball. Lost or damaged basketballs will result in a $20 charge per ball.

Pool:
The pool can be heated. If you wish to have the heater on during your stay there is a $50 charge per day. Let us know at least 2 days before your check in if you want it heated. The electric pool heater might not be able to maintain a desired temperature if the outdoor temperature during your stay is less than 65 degrees.
The pool is serviced once a week in the winter months and twice week from spring break to end of October. Please don't be alarmed if the pool crew enters the backyard during your stay.

**House Rules**
After booking, the primary guest will have 48 hours to sign a rental agreement, upload a government issued ID and put a credit card on file.

Do not attempt to open the garage door. This will cause damage to items located in the game room.

**Indoor fire place**
No fires allowed indoors.

**Backyard**
Tickled Turtle brings together an amazing experience for friends and family. The nature and trees in the area are beautiful. From time to time mother nature moves those trees around and as a result leaves and pine needles tend to fall on the turf in the backyard. Our lawn maintenance crew will blow them off a few times a month, however they might not show during your stay. We have provided a leaf blower, located in the kitchen that you are free to use to clear off the backyard and mini golf turf.

**Quiet hours**
This house is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Please respect the neighbors and keep noise levels down between 10pm-8am. This also means no bouncing basketballs or playing pickle ball between 10pm-8am. We stress the importance of keeping our neighborhood quiet & safe for all of our guests & neighbors. We do not authorize any parties or events at this property.

We loved this house. The backyard is amazing and the neighborhood was quiet. The game room was a lot of fun and the pool was very clean and relaxing. The deep end of the pool is about 5' and perfect for kids. Communication was quick and easy and we would definitely stay here again. House was very clean and had starter kits of items as expected. The master bedroom and 1 guest room could have used some more drawers or shelves, but that was a minor thing. We loved the location, the cleanliness and the entire Sarasota/AMI area. We had a fantastic stay.

Great house for a family or two to share. The house was very well maintained and very clean. Having three showers is a little tough but it’s enough to get by. The outdoor activities are great fun for the kids, especially pickleball and the game room is excellent as well. Easy to get to Anna Maria Island. Only suggestions: need more towels both bath and beach, there’s no lounge chairs by the pool, there’s no beach chairs to take to beach and no mirrors in the bedrooms. Otherwise excellent house.

The house was great and had plenty to do for the kids! It looked exactly like the photos and there were a few beaches we went to within 20ish minutes of the house.We did have to reach out to the host a few times for cleanliness (grill burners were so dirty that a small fire started when we turned it on, our feet were brown/black after a short time being there) / electrical/appliance (hallways lights out, microwave not heating food) issues, but he was very responsive and had the issues resolved in a timely manner. Overall we had a great time!
