Tired of staying at impersonal, expensive, noisy condos? Want to be treated more like family
instead of just another renter? Our non-smoking unit is an unusual getaway for a couple (and maybe one small child). We live
in the top two floors of a residential three story townhouse located directly on the Gulf of Mexico on Okaloosa Island and
rent out our ground floor lock-out studio apartment from time to time.
Our unit is not for everyone. If you want to
party until the wee hours of the morning, there are plenty of other units available. But if you don't mind being fairly quiet
from 10:00 PM until 6:00 AM, don't mind a Wire Hair Fox Terrier named Zoie, and enjoy just kicking back with a margarita and
a little Jimmy Buffett music, this should suit you fine.
Your dedicated parking place will be right in front of the
building, just steps from the entrance. We have three bicycles for you to tour around the island, and you can borrow Dave's
fishing gear to do a little surf fishing. Beach gear (chairs, towels, umbrella, boogie boards, fresbies, kids toys, etc.)
is also provided. You will have a private deck with a bar, and an enclosed outside shower for rinsing off after a day at the
beach (Yes, we have a full bath inside also).
Finish off the evening with a game of darts, chess, or a boardgame,
or select a movie from our DVD collection. In the morning you will have the local paper waiting at your front door for you
to read while you're enjoying your coffee. We promise to make your stay with us as enjoyable as possible!

Deposit and Payment: We require a $150 deposit in order to reserve our unit and payment in full upon arrival
(cash or personal checks only, no credit cards). Upon arrival, the reservation deposit converts to a damage deposit.
Once you depart and we have had a chance to inspect the unit we will mail your deposit back to you, providing there is no
damage to our unit.
Cancellation Policy: We will return your deposit in full if you cancel your reservation at least 14 days prior
to your scheduled arrival. Within 14 days of your scheduled arrival, we will return your deposit if we are able to obtain
replacement guests for the same time period.
Restrictions: We do not rent to Spring Breakers. As a general rule, we do not rent to anyone under the
age of 25 unless they are married or accompanied by at least one parent or guardian. However, we realize there are responsible
adults under the age of 25, so we do make exceptions occasionally. Our unit is in a residential complex so we ask that
our guests be fairly quiet between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Registered guests only; no additional guests or visitors please.
We have a reserved parking space for only one vehicle. Absolutely no smoking allowed inside our unit. Smoking
is permitted outside on the deck. And...no pets allowed.
Kitchen Limitations: In order to maximize countertop space, we chose not to install a regular stove/oven or
dishwasher. Other than that, our kitchen is nicely outfitted. Most of our guests do not come down here to do
any heavy cooking anyway, but instead they use the microwave or toaster oven for meals during the day and go out to one of
our fine seafood restaurants in the evening. We do ask that you do not cook seafood inside our unit. You
may cook seafood (or any other type of food) outside on the bar if you bring your own cooking gear.
Check-In/Check-Out: Our normal check-in time is 3:00 PM and our normal check-out time is 10:00 AM.
These times can vary, depending on whether or not we have guests checking out on your arrival day or checking in on your departure
day. If our unit has already been cleaned, you may check in as early as you wish. If we do not have guests checking
in on your departure date, you may check out late. Even if we have guests departing on your arrival date, you may be
able to check in early. Just give us a call on our cell (850-240-7941) about 11 AM and we will be able to tell
you how far along we are on our cleaning and when you can check in.
