Guest access Explore Our Grounds We invite you to stroll around our beautiful and expansive grounds, where there’s always something to discover! As part of our warm and welcoming atmosphere, you may encounter our large dogs. If you prefer not to interact with dogs, just let us know! We’ll gladly do our best to keep them inside while you are outdoors. While the dogs don’t spend much time outside, they may occasionally be out when you come or go. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to accommodate your needs. While you’re exploring, don’t miss our growing food forest, a tropical oasis full of surprises. Feel free to ask us about the edible plants—there’s plenty to marvel at, but not everything is ready for tasting! 😊 Other things to note Making Your Stay Easy and Enjoyable We want you to have the perfect beach day! That’s why we provide beach chairs and towels for your convenience. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen—the Florida sun is wonderfully warm but can be intense, especially for those new to its rays. If you’re traveling with a larger group, consider our additional guest room on the far side of the building, Magical Paradise: Hunt Haven Hideaway, which sleeps two. It’s a charming option to keep everyone close while maintaining their own space! For parking, you’ll have one designated space on the property. If your party has extra vehicles, they may need to park on the street and walk in. Please let us know ahead of time, and we’ll guide you through the parking options during your stay. For added security, the property gate operates with a remote. We’ve provided one in your apartment for your convenience. Remember to leave the remote behind when you check out to avoid a $50 replacement fee. We’re here to ensure your experience is smooth and stress-free—feel free to reach out if you have any questions or special requests!
