A separate split unit AC/heater allows you to independently control the temperate in this room.

Grill utensils are on hand, too. The overhead hanging lights automatically turn on at night and help create a magical space. There is a pool house with a foosball table if you're looking for a little competitive sport time during your vacation. :) 4. The POOL: Take a dip and enjoy the pool on a hot summer day! No diving, please! It's NOT a heated pool for those traveling in the winter. This is a perfect set up for those doing daily cold plunges - invigorating!! *Note: The pool light does not work. 5. We do have a few spigots with hoses so if you have scuba gear that needs rinsing off, or beach equipment, feel free to use it. But please remember to turn off the water. :) **Non smoking Property** Guest access Parking is easy. There's a long gravel driveway area on the west side of the home that fits multiple vehicles and even trailers or boats. There's also a brick paver driveway directly in front of the house. Please do not hit our mailbox. And please do not block our neighbor's driveway on the east side of the property. Other things to note This is Florida. On our densely vegetated property, you'll see bugs, birds, frogs, lizards, and butterflies. There are also mosquitoes. You'll hear the chorus of frogs outside at night in the summer. We have large trees that provide great shade. You'll see twigs and leaves around on the deck/patio, etc too after rains/storms. We've provided an outdoor broom with dustpan and a small brush to clean up patio furniture if needed. Also, we have the pool cleaned twice a week but leaves/debris/bugs do get in the pool. There is a skimmer net in the backyard for your use to clean out any debris/leaves/bugs that inevitably get into the pool between cleanings. *Our pool light does not work* It also gets HOT in the summer. Our two central AC units in the home help keep the home comfortable in the summer, but definitely enjoy the pool to cool off when outside. Drink lots of water and use sunscreen often. Please review the beach safety tips we'll share with you if planning time at the beautiful beaches. Bring your beach chairs/tables/equipment as we don't have that available for use. Also, bring your life vests for kiddos for the pool since we don't have those on site. If you need recommendations for beach rental services, let us know! The 17th Ave Boat Launch is less than a mile away. Bring the boat, park it at our property, then launch it close by and enjoy!
