Our Tropical Environment
Florida’s sunshine brings beautiful nature! The property receives regular professional pest control, but occasionally a small outdoor critter may try to say hello. Keeping doors and windows closed helps keep them outside.

Our saltwater pool is professionally serviced twice weekly. Because the pool is uncaged, occasional leaves or debris from nearby trees may fall in. A skimmer net is provided if needed. Minor pest sightings or natural debris in the pool are part of our tropical environment and are not eligible for refunds.

Amenities
Occasionally furnishings or amenities may need repair or replacement due to normal wear or unexpected maintenance. We always do our best to restore the home to listed conditions and will communicate with guests if anything changes.

Dog
One fully house-trained small dog may be allowed with prior approval ($200 fee). A second may be considered for an additional fee.

Dog must:
• be house-trained
• be crated when left alone
• stay off furniture
• not enter the pool

Proof of flea/tick prevention required. We provide a crate, bowls, mats, and a leash.

Cats and other pets are not permitted.

✨ Thank you for helping us keep Saltwater Siesta clean, peaceful, and welcoming for every guest. We are so honored to host you!

Absolutely Perfect Stay!We stayed at this beautiful home for a short visit with my two grandchildren (9 and 13) and my 81-year-old mother while exploring destinations for a future family vacation—and it exceeded every expectation!The house itself is beautifully decorated, spotless, and so comfortable. Every detail was perfect, from the cozy beds to the fully stocked kitchen. The pool area was sparkling clean and absolutely gorgeous—a perfect spot for everyone. The game room was a huge hit with everyone (including Grandma!), giving us plenty of fun family time together.The location was ideal, close to everything and we felt very safe! Communication with the host was outstanding; instructions were clear and helpful, and it truly felt like they cared about making our stay perfect.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
