Guest Access
Smart lock access begins 1 hour before check-in using the last 4 digits of your phone number. Please no early arrivals unless arrangements have been made. Most of the time this property is booked and our cleaners need the entire time to prepare for your stay from the previous guest


Other Things to Note

- Pet-Friendly: Bring your furry family member for $100 per stay per pet. Please keep pets off the furniture and beds ($200 charge applies for any evidence) and clean up after them. Certain breed restrictions apply due to insurance, kindly inform us in advance about your pet.

- Cameras: Outdoor security cameras are in place for your safety and peace of mind. Cameras are not monitored unless a complaint arises. Doorbell, Pool/Backyard, and Dock.

- Christmas Cheer: Traveling in November or December? A Christmas tree will be up for your enjoyment!

- Check-in/Check-out: Smart lock access begins 1 hour before check-in. Early arrivals are rare as the house is regularly booked and we use this time to prepare for your stay.

- Canal Waterfront: This home is waterfront on the canal just a few hundred yards from the main lake (Clear Lake). There are lake views while sitting on the dock or at the firepit but you are not directly lakefront. You can easily access the lake with a boat, kayak, or paddleboard.

*Expectations*

- Parties: While we do welcome and encourage bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday groups, and other celebrations, we ask that you enjoy the party off property and only bring back registered guests.

- Smoking: No smoking/vaping/marijuana permitted inside the house; a $200 cleaning fee will apply for odor. Smoking outside is welcome but please dispose of cigarette butts responsibly.

- Cleanliness: Guests should not leave the house in a state that requires excessive or deep cleaning (ex: soiled rugs, stained/marked walls, moldy dishes, pet stains, trash scattered, etc.). Cleaning fees are meant to cover the cost of standard cleaning between reservations only. *In the unlikely event that you have an issue with the house cleaniness upon check-in, please let us know in the first few hours so we can remedy the situation. We have staff on call for this reason and happy to make it right.

- Trash/Recycle: Guests should put all their trash and recycle in designated outside receptacles

- Critter Awareness: While we maintain regular pest control service, Florida’s tropical waterfront climate means occasional encounters with insects or wildlife. Please keep doors/windows closed and food sealed

- Glass-Free Pool Deck: Broken glass incurs a $500 cleaning fee due to pool draining requirements

- Age of home: Our home is in excellent condition for being 60+ years old, however, things break with normal wear and tear, please don’t hesitate to let us know and we’ll fix it as soon as we can!

- Damage: All damage should be reported to Hosts. Damage that is beyond normal wear and tear may require working with the Host to find a reasonable solution. Guests are expected to pay reasonable requests for reimbursement if they’re responsible for certain damage, missing items, or unexpected cleaning costs like after a party

- Maintenance: Lawn, maintenance, or pool employees may come to the property for regular maintenance to ensure guests have a comfortable stay. In the unlikely event we need access inside during your stay, we will always call or message first.

- Deposit: New guests without reviews may require a refundable $200 deposit at checkout, refunded after the home is left in good condition.


Enjoy Retro Waterfront on Clear Lake and make memories to last a lifetime at this vibrant, one-of-a-kind property! Whether you’re here for relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, we can’t wait to host you!

Amazing house and host

This house was fantastic. It was decorated in a very 50s retro style and even included a coffee syrup bar! The host was very responsive and left a welcome basket for us on our arrival. It's about 30 minutes from Disney and 15 from universal. It was perfect for my teens because they each had their own room. I will definitely stay here again if I find myself in Orlando.
