Safety
There is one step up to get into the house, a big "step-up" into the tub and big "step-down" out of the tub (a grab bar to assist but not to bear full weight is in place), and a step down off of the deck.
Please be mindful of the seawall. At low tide it can be a 6' or more drop off. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES IN THE BACKYARD.

PESTS
If you are visiting from out of state, Florida has pests!! Our property gets sprayed quarterly inside and out and is frequently checked for our pesky pests, but we cannot guarantee you will not encounter something inside the house. It is best to keep doors and windows closed when not in use.

Cameras
We use 2 motion activated video cameras on the outside of the house. One is in the back pointing out towards the yard and the other is near the front door pointing out towards the street. Our main reasons for this is to ensure safety of our guests and be aware of any illegal activity. It also allows us to be aware that all house services such as garbage, lawn etc.. is being maintained property.
