Attractions & Restaurants

When deciding to leave the vacation rental, we have numerous suggestions of restaurants, bars, attractions, beaches and more.  Please check the map tab to see our recommendations.

That Florida weather can be a little unpredictable, so if you can’t enjoy your time outside in the sunshine or you need a little break from the summer heat, we have the following for your entertainment:

• A Smart TV downstairs in the living room and one in each bedroom.
• We offer local channels and you can also connect your streaming services

In the cabinet adjacent to the living room we provide:

• Books
• Board games
• Card games

Need to get a little work done?  There are also desks with chairs in two of the three bedrooms.

Downstairs Unit
The thermostat that controls the downstairs A/C is located on the wall between the two downstairs bedrooms.  You can change the mode (heat or cool) by clicking on the symbol that appears above the temperature numbers.  Once on the proper setting, using the touchscreen drag up or down on the right side of the screen.

Upstairs Unit
The thermostat for the upstairs unit is located at the top of the stairs.  It works the exact same way as the downstairs thermostat.

Important
If you are running the A/C or heat, please keep doors and windows closed.  Should you want to open doors and windows, please turn off the unit.

In the kitchen you’ll find the following appliances:

• Fridge
• Gas Range
• Microwave
• Blender
• Toaster
• Coffee Pot
• Electric Kettle

Operating The Gas Range

If you’ve never cooked on a gas range before, a few things to note:

1. Everything cooks much faster
2. Keep temperatures lower than you normally would on an electric range.  Meaning, if you normally cook something on medium-high on an electric range, you’ll set it to medium on the gas range.
3. Make sure you turn off gas when finished. Gas can be dangerous if you don’t pay attention.

To operate the gas burners, push in and turn the knob to the Lighting label.  You’ll hear the gas range clicking as it attempts to light the burner.  Hold it on this position until you see the flame at which time continue to turn the dial to your desired heating level (high to low).

The oven works like any other electric oven, simply press bake and then set your desired temperature.

Should you have any questions or issues arriving at the vacation rental, please don’t hesitate to reach out.  You can reach us at:

OR
Mark: 456-876-2343

You can also text both of those numbers.

Checkin time begins at 3:00PM unless other arrangements are made ahead of time.

Prior to your arrival date, we will send you an access code to the door.  Your access code will begin to work at the date/time of checkin and will stop working upon checkout.

Parking Information
We have three dedicated parking spots for you during your stay.  These spots are located directly in front of the house.  Please do not park in the street or grass.  Once parked, you’ll enter through the blue front door.

Your packing list will depend on the time of year and your interests.  Many guests stay with us for the nearby beaches.  If that’s your plan, don’t forget:

• Sunscreen
• Umbrellas
• Beach Chairs
• Beach Games

We do provide beach towels for your use!

If you’re in town for other attractions or to experience our great cuisine, you would need to plan appropriately.  Since many restaurants require a short walk from the nearest parking, we would recommend wearing shoes that you can comfortably walk in.

Florida weather can also be a little unpredictable so a rain jacket is an excellent idea.
