*CAMERAS
This property uses motion censored cameras at front door and back door. These cameras only point to outside areas. These are meant to deter and prevent any unlawful activity. Also, this allows the host to monitor laborers such trash pickup, lawn maintenance, pest control etc.

*PEST CONTROL
Well, this is Florida and controlling unwanted bugs is always challenging. This home is cared for and managed by a professional pest control company on a quarterly basis. We do our best to keep doors and windows closed to keep unwanted pests outside! However, we cannot guarantee you will not encounter a curious creature during your stay. Keeping food cleaned up inside and out is definitely the best thing you can do to help us in this area. Please message host if you feel there is a problem.

*SAFETY
This property is located on a beautiful canal. At low tide there can be as much as an 6-8' drop off from the seawall into the canal. We ask that you please be mindful of young children and make sure they are supervised at all times. We also have plenty of wildlife in the area that could potentially be dangerous. Never leave children outside alone.
This is NOT a child-proof home.

Host very responsive to questions. Loved being right on the water with bird symphony. Best part was kayaking from place to the bay for lunch and wildlife sightings. Especially recommend an early morning kayak to see lots of manatees and jumping tarpon. Biting gnats in the evening so helpful to bring spray. But loved the peaceful setting and would certainly stay again.

The entire little neighborhood is beautiful & peaceful. We enjoyed cycling & kayaking through it. Everything inside the home was very clean & cozy. Communication with host was very easy too. We will be back & highly recommend.

Cute cottage, great location near town and on the water, we really enjoyed the kayaks and the fire pit. Vicki the host kept us well-informed and was friendly, even offered to let us check-in early. The cottage itself was well-decorated and had all the necessary amenities, the bed was comfortable. The price was reasonable for everything that you get. Lots of large fish swimming right off the dock. Very convenient location to town and the beach, it seemed like it was a 10-min drive everywhere we wanted to go. Definitely recommend!

We loved kayaking out to Kings Bay, biking around the neighborhood and making smores in the fire pit. It is in a very convenient location to drive to Weeki Wachee and the other springs in the area. We will definitely book with her again when we come back next year for scallop season!
