Disclaimer – Nature-Inspired Setting 🌿
📍Please note: This property is nestled in a lush, wooded environment, short distance from the water 🌴🌊. As such, occasional sightings of bugs, or other small insects may occur, especially in tropical climates like this. While we do our best with regular pest control and cleanliness, it`s important to keep doors closed to help prevent any insects from coming inside. If you`re particularly sensitive to insects, this may not be the best fit, but nature lovers will feel right at home! 🌺🌲
⚠️ Tropical Environment Notice
This property is located in Tropical Florida near water and surrounded by natural vegetation. Due to the tropical climate, it is normal to occasionally see insects common to the area, including Florida bugs, palmetto roaches, and small pests. While the home is professionally cleaned and maintained, encounters with these insects can happen. If you are highly sensitive or uncomfortable with this natural aspect of Florida living, this property may not be the right fit for you.
📌 Boat living is not for everyone, and we want all our guests to have a great experience:
📌 Motion Notice: This houseboat is docked on the sound, which means it can rock gently back and forth. During bad weather or heavy rain, the movement can be more noticeable, causing the boat to sway side to side. This may not be suitable for guests prone to motion sickness or discomfort with movement.
📌 Mobility Notice: While we provide a ramp from the dock to access the houseboat, stepping on and off the boat may require a longer-than-usual step. The houseboat’s natural motion may also make this more challenging at times. Guests with hip, knee, or other mobility issues should take this into careful consideration.
📌 Use handrails with caution, especially when boarding.
📌 Think of this as a glamping experience, not a luxury hotel stay. Embrace the adventure and you`ll love it!
📌 If you are sensitive to the scent of sea water, this may not be the best fit for you.
📌 Hot water is limited — showers are simple and functional, but not luxurious.
♨️ Charcoal Grill (Shared Amenity) – Guests are welcome to use the outdoor charcoal grill. Just bring your own charcoal and enjoy!
⚠️ Please Note: While the houseboat is securely moored to the shore, it is still floating on water, which may present additional risks. By booking, guests acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of staying on a houseboat, including the potential for movement and the presence of water hazards. Caution is advised at all times.
