KAYAK AND AMENITIES DISCLAIMER
Host/owner takes an assertive approach in the maintenance and replacement of all amenities on the property as needed. Guests are expected to treat all amenities with common sense and caution and notify host if any amenity is malfunctioning or broken. As host is not present on the property and may not be aware of the current condition of every amenity, guests take sole responsibility during the use of kayaks, kayak ramp, floating dock, fishing poles, gas grill, gas fire pit, bikes and appliances. Host is not responsible for any injuries or accidents during a guests' stay.
*CAMERAS
This property uses motion censored cameras at front door and back door. These cameras only point to outside areas. These are meant to deter and prevent any unlawful activity. Also, this allows the host to monitor laborers such trash pickup, lawn maintenance, pest control etc.
*PEST CONTROL
Well, this is Florida and controlling unwanted bugs is always challenging. This home is cared for and managed by a professional pest control company on a quarterly basis. We do our best to keep doors and windows closed to keep unwanted pests outside! However, we cannot guarantee you will not encounter a curious creature during your stay. Keeping food cleaned up inside and out is definitely the best thing you can do to help us in this area. Please message host if you feel there is a problem.
*SAFETY
This property is located on a beautiful canal. At low tide there can be as much as an 6-8' drop off from the seawall into the canal. We ask that you please be mindful of the dangers of water and wildlife. CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE.
This is NOT a child-proof home.

About the host
Hosted by Vicki Duncan

Hi there. My name is Vicki and I've been married to my awesome husband, Ron, for 30 years. We have 3 adult kids and my youngest, Logan, works with me daily. We renovate homes, sometimes flip them and manage a few vacation rentals like this one!
I'm a social worker at heart but I love real estate and making things pretty too! I've been hosting friends and family my whole life so it really feels like second nature to host you! We love this property so much and just hope to allow others to enjoy it too! My wish is for you to make lasting memories with the ones you love!

We love this property so much and just hope to allow others to enjoy it too! My wish is for you to make lasting memories with the ones you love!
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood chose me. My in-laws owned this property for years, then my son and I decided to give it a little face lift! Renovations began and we decided to turn them into vacation rentals. It a perfect area though, quiet and friendly while being close to all the activities.
What makes this property unique
When someone hasn't been there before, they're always surprised by the pretty and private canal in the back. You can get out to the bay quickly and see much wildlife along the way.
