Pre-Arrival:
Prior to your arrival we will ask you to verify the total number of guests, their respective names, dates of birth, and a copy of the IDs of all your guests over 18 years of age. Any guests who refuse to provide this information are not allowed to stay.

Shortly before your arrival, we will speak with you over the phone to ensure that everything is in order to meet your needs. The access code will not be provided without this communication. After this call, you will receive a message via your booking platform's inbox that will include a link to the Rental Agreement which you will need to sign electronically. Once the Rental Agreement has been signed, you will then receive a pre-arrival message that will include essential details, such as the property address and remote access code.

Neighbor Relations and Noise Considerations/ City Ordinance Compliance:
Respect the boundaries of our property and ensure that your guests do not trespass onto our neighbors' premises. In the event of any complaints from neighbors, prompt action will be required on your part, and failure to address the issue may result in you being asked to leave the property.

All guests are expected to adhere to the ordinances of the City of Punta Gorda. A link to the city ordinances is provided in the Guest Manual.

You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise respectful during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of private property. Quiet hours must be observed from 9 PM onwards. Note that our property is equipped with a noise-detecting device called NoiseAware, which monitors noise levels in decibels. If prolonged and excessive noise is detected, I will receive an alert and may contact you accordingly to address the situation. Excessive noise that disturbs the neighbors can lead to forfeiture of your damage deposit and potential eviction. Please refrain from frequent nighttime entrances and exits or activating door lock remotes, as these actions can disturb our neighbors.

Toilet Usage: Please advise your guests not to dispose of tampons or sanitary napkins in the toilet. These items can clog the drain and lead to plumbing issues.

Electric Vehicle Charging: The property is not equipped for guests to charge their electric vehicles. Attempting to do so could damage the electrical system, for which you would be held responsible.

Surveillance Equipment & Guest Privacy: Please note that there are no recording devices inside the home or in the lanai, pool, patio, or dock areas. For security purposes, the property is equipped with exterior cameras, including one on the garage facing the driveway, another overlooking the pool equipment (but not the pool itself), and a Ring Doorbell at the front entrance, which actively captures both audio and video. These devices have the ability to actively record, but they are used solely for security and property protection. Views of the surveillance cameras are detailed in the Guest Manual.

To ensure a well-maintained and enjoyable stay, our property receives routine exterior care, including pool service, lawn maintenance, and periodic pest control. Additionally, our property manager stops by twice a week to check pool levels and manage trash bins. These services are expected to take place during business hours only, with no entry into the home. If there are specific times that would be inconvenient for you, please let us know in advance, and we will do our best to coordinate accordingly.

Your privacy is our priority, and we are committed to ensuring a respectful and enjoyable stay. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
