*Early Check-In / Late Check-Out Options:

Our standard check-in time is 4:00 PM, but if you'd like to arrive earlier, we offer flexible early check-in options based on availability starting five days before your arrival date. This allows us time to try and sell the full night first, which is always our priority.

Here are the early check-in options if available:
1 Hour Early Check-In – No charge (subject to availability)
Half Day Stay (Check-In Between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM) – Half the nightly rate
Before 10:00 AM – Full nightly rate

Late Check-Out:
1 hour late – $30
Between 10 AM and 4 PM – Half the nightly rate
Later than 4 PM – Full nightly rate

This option will be offered based on availability, starting five days before check-in. Please note that we cannot accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs on same-day turnovers.
Fees help us maintain a seamless schedule for our cleaning team and ensure the best stay experience for all guests.

Thank you for understanding!

The unit is monitored by a noise detection device called Minut. This device monitors how loud it gets in the unit, cigarette and marijuana smoke, and how many Bluetooth devices walk through the door.

This device is solely to prevent parties from occurring in the unit and ensure we respect the neighbors. This is not a recording device.

For more information about the device, see the minut website.

2 towels provided per guest

*Management Fee
The $89 "Management Fee" serves as an accidental damage waiver, covering up to $1500 in accidental damages. It does not cover negligence. or pet damage.**

*POOL HEATING FEE
Pool heat is available for an additional charge of $45 per night or $225 per week. As a reminder, pool heat must be purchased for the entire stay and cannot be added for specific days within your reservation. For stays longer than a week, we’re happy to discuss accommodations to best suit your needs. We appreciate your understanding.

Please note that from May through October, pool heat is generally not recommended, as the water naturally stays warm due to the weather. However, if you still wish to add pool heat, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance.

Our pool is heated by a heat pump, which relies on the outside air temperature to warm the water. While the system is effective, if the weather is particularly cold, it can take longer to reach the desired temperature. Sometimes, it may not get as warm as expected due to cooler outdoor conditions.

Because the heat pump's performance depends on the weather, we cannot offer refunds if the pool does not reach the exact temperature you prefer. However, we do everything possible to ensure the pool is heated to the best extent possible.

*GUEST VERIFICATION
To ensure a smooth check-in experience and to comply with current short-term rental regulations, we ask that you complete a guest verification process through our trusted partner, Truvi. This step helps us provide enhanced protection for both our guests and our property.

Truvi will reach out to you via email and/or text with instructions for verification. This process includes a real-time selfie and ID check, as well as a safety search. Additionally, you will need to e-sign our short-term rental agreement, which outlines the house rules and important information about your stay.

Please complete both the verification and the agreement within 48 hours of booking to facilitate a quick and seamless check-in.

For compliance with local guest registration requirements, all guests will be asked to submit a government-issued photo ID through our secure third-party system, Truvi, after booking is confirmed.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

Perfect place for what we came for

My family and I came to celebrate my aunt's 75th birthday and it was a perfect location to host the BBQ. We had a pool for my kiddos to cool off in and enough space to enjoy the outdoor under patio for seating and when it got too hot, we went into the open kitchen area. The bedrooms were great and the beds were so comfy. :) Tara was great at getting back to me when we had a few hiccups but nothing that held us back. Would highly recommend! Thanks for hosting us.

Perfect Getaway

This home was absolutely perfect for my family’s Valentines Day Getaway and marriage proposal site. Tara went above and beyond preparing this home for guests, we had everything we needed our entire stay. I am very picky and am diagnosed OCD as well, as soon as I walked in, my anxiety from the drive was gone. The comfort was unmatched, the beds were great, and I have a sleep number bed at home. We hired a private chef to come during our stay, he was very impressed with the kitchen and the surprise bonus coffee bar! My grand baby was especially happy with the arcade games!!! My sons proposal was perfect and the photographer asked for the info for himself and his family as well. If your going to the Tampa area, this home is a Must have for your stay, because even my husband was happy, watching the news poolside! I give this home a genuine 10 stars out of 5 and we will definitely be booking again. Thank you Tara for setting the bar so high, chefs kiss. The Pinckney’s
