Please be aware of a few important notes: - We offer a wide range of baby and elder-care equipment rentals for families traveling with those in need of special accommodations. Baby gear includes full-size cribs, high chairs, baby gates, pack & plays, excersaucers, baby tubs and a huge array of age-appropriate toys. Elder-care equipment includes rollators, walkers, portable wheel chairs, portable toilets. All are professionally cleaned & sanitized between guests - This is our actual home and not just an Airbnb so you will find our personal belonging in the house. Please be respectful of our belongings - Our home is professionally maintained by a team of landscapers, pool attendants and exterminators so you may see these individuals on the property during daytime hours. They will never have access to the interior during your stay - This home is in the woods. Spiders & ants happen! We have the entire property (interior & exterior and including lawn) treated for mosquitoes, ticks, and ants every 2 weeks by Orkin using pet-safe insecticides. But ants love little crumbs left by little hands and spiders love ants, so..... you get the idea. :) Please practice patience & tolerance if possible but definitely let us know about any pest issues that arise!
