The gazebo lights run on automatic dusk-to-dawn timing — no need to touch anything.

A separate power strip in the gazebo is there for charging your devices.

Want the lights off? Use the remote stored in the power strip box.

Quiet hours are between 9:00 PM and 9:00 AM.

You're welcome to enjoy the pool and backyard in the evening — just keep noise low out of respect for our neighbors. This is a residential street with full-time residents.

Trash is collected twice a week — Tuesdays and Fridays. Recycling goes out Wednesdays.

Good news: you don't need to move the bins. Our CanMonkey service places them at the curb the night before and returns them after pickup.

Publix Super Market at Oakhurst Plaza
9201 Oakhurst Rd, Seminole, FL 33776 — about 5 minutes away.

Enter your keypad access code and wait for the bolt to fully turn before opening.

To lock: use the thumb turn on the inside, or press the 1-touch button on the outside keypad.

WiFi network and password are listed above under WiFi Password.

Every TV has a Roku — feel free to log into your streaming accounts. Just remember to log out before checkout.

Pool safety: no diving, no swimming alone, and children must always be supervised. Please keep food, drinks, and especially glass out of the pool area.

Pool service visits Tuesdays and Fridays — the pool is unavailable for just 15–30 minutes, and the tech will let you know when it's OK to swim again. They let themselves in and out of the backyard and won't bother you.

The heater is professionally calibrated — please don't adjust the settings.

Florida's forecast almost always shows a chance of storms — most pass quickly, and afternoon thunderstorms are just part of life on the Gulf Coast. Don't let them change your plans!

Please stay out of the pool during thunderstorms. If you can hear thunder or see lightning, everyone out of the water until the storm has passed.

If you know wind or rain is on the way, we'd appreciate you lowering and closing the sun umbrellas on the pool deck — it helps prevent damage. And if a storm catches you off guard, no worries at all — just close them once it's safe.

Grill: keep it at least 10 feet from the house while in use, and give it a quick clean before/after cooking. Grilling tools are hand-wash only.

Grill cleaner how-to: preheat to about 350°, submerge the cleaner head in ice water until saturated, then steam-clean the grate in sections (re-wet often). Flip it to use the stainless scraper.

Fireplace: turn the dial to “low”, hold the igniter button until the flames catch, then release. Adult supervision at all times.

Please don't touch the lava rocks, and no s'mores or cooking over the fire — food residue damages the unit.

The stove and oven are electric, so cooking times may differ slightly from gas.

Coffee: the Keurig Duo brews pots or single cups. One provided coffee packet brews a 12-cup pot, and there are reusable k-cups (we don't stock pre-filled ones) plus creamers and sweeteners. Please turn the machine off when finished.

A Brita pitcher lives in the fridge — spare filters are in the pantry closet by the garage door.

Also in the pantry closet: a small foldable step stool and extra garbage bags.

Bedroom/office lights: the switch is in the family room, to the right of the kitchen window.

Pool water light: the switch is behind the 4th bedroom door.

Washer and dryer are all yours — please don't overload them, and empty the dryer lint trap after each load.

The front door auto-locks after 10 minutes.

Fire extinguishers: under the kitchen sink (labeled) and just inside the garage by the door to the house.

Ring cameras are on the front porch, north garage, and south pool-equipment areas — none face guest spaces and they won't affect your stay.

Window alarms: doors and windows with direct pool access have safety alarms required by county code — please keep them on during your stay. To open a window for fresh air, a small switch on the magnetic sensor temporarily disables the alarm.

Power outage or tripped breaker? Just message us in the app right away and we'll get it sorted.

Our landscaper visits every other week, usually on Fridays, entering through the backyard gates. No need to do anything — just a heads-up so no one is surprised.

Hand-wash the grilling tools, ice trays, and ice cube storage bin (not dishwasher safe).

Before checkout: wash your dishes or start the dishwasher, take out the kitchen trash, and remove any unused food.

No deep clean needed — just those basics and we handle the rest!
