Check-In

Keys: There are no physical keys needed for our home. You should have received an email just prior to your arrival with your 4-digit key code which opens the front door. If you haven’t noticed, the code is the last 4 digits of your cell phone number to make recall easier. There is a lock box with a key available at the property in case of technological malfunction. Please contact Bryan Myers if you have any issues entering the home on arrival.

Doors: Please do not leave the doors propped open. This is allow an abundance of unwanted Floridian bugs and even lizards into the house. Nobody wants to share the house with them. 

Parking: There is room for parking 4 vehicles in the driveway. No vehicles are allowed to park along the street. In addition, local ordinances do not allow parking trailers, boats, or campers in the driveway. Local trailer parking is available for low cost. Message us for details. It is possible the homeowner will have a vehicle in the garage. Unfortunately, insurance and licensing requirements prevent renters from using the homeowner’s

vehicle.

Inspection: Upon arrival, please check the house for any concerns. We strive for 100% guest satisfaction and our housekeepers work hard to maintain a spotless home. If you have any concerns, please let us know.

Air Conditioning: When the house is not occupied, we maintain the house at 78 degrees to save electricity while keeping the humidity under control. The thermostat is in the hall and can be adjusted to your liking. Do not set the air conditioning below 70 degrees. Doing so may freeze up the unit resulting in a service call at your expense.

Pool Heater: Part of the fees for the home is the heated pool. Prior to your arrival the pool temperature has been remotely set at 84 degrees. This temperature is monitored and adjusted remotely and no adjustments should be made locally. If you desire a higher or lower temperature for the pool, please let us know and we can discuss adjustments. Higher temperatures may incur a higher heating fee.

Furniture: Please avoiding moving the furniture to avoid any damage to the flooring.

Safe: If you need to secure any valuables, there is a safe in the master closet. For your safety there is no “master combination”. Please follow the directions in the video below to set your own code and make sure you remember the code since only you know it. If you forget the code, the housekeeper does have a physical key and can come to the house to open the safe if needed. There will be a $50 charge for opening the safe.

We hope you have enjoyed your stay and look forward to you returning for another stay. We offer discount for repeat visitors so please message us in the future if interested in a return stay. 

As you prepare to leave, please follow the checklist below to assist the housekeeping staff in getting the house ready for the next guest. We appreciate you treating our family’s home just like Grandma’s house.

Check out time: 11 am. The housekeepers are typically on a tight schedule and will be arriving shortly after 11 am. Please be on time for check out. If a late check-out is needed, please contact us early in your stay (if you haven’t already) and we can offer a later check-out if the home isn’t rented on your departure day. A small fee may apply.

Cleaning: Hopefully, during your stay you have taken advantage of the cleaning supplies to maintain a comfortable home. Our cleaning crew will handle the deep cleaning between guests but your assistance straightening up the home is appreciated. Please return all household items to their original location if anything was moved. Most important, make sure the TV remotes are returned so you are not charged for a missing remote that is hiding in a drawer.

Dishes: Please make sure all the dishes are cleaned. Load and run the dishwasher on check out.

Linens: As you can likely guess, the hardest part of getting the house ready for the next guest is handling all the laundry. Feel free to keep the beds unmade. Please start a load of towels in the washing machine before you check out. Please don’t machine wash the blankets and comforters. They are cleaned off site in an industrial washer to save wear and tear on the washing machine.

Grill: If you used the grill, please make sure you clean it. If an LP tank went empty and you used the backup tank in the garage, please leave the empty tank on the lanai so the housekeepers know to replace it for the next guests.

Garbage: Please collect garbage from around the house and place all garbage into the appropriate bins in the garage. If you are checking out on a Tuesday or Friday, please take the bins to the curb in the morning. Throughout your stay, please similarly take the garbage bins out on pick up days. Tuesday – Garbage and Recycling. Friday – Garbage only.

Double check: Double check for any forgotten items. Make sure to check any drawers and check outlets for phone chargers. Please, take your stuff and leave ours.

Leftovers: Discard any perishable leftovers into the garbage. Spices, condiments, and sealed containers of nonperishable foods can be left in the cabinets or refrigerator. Feel free to leave any extra beer or liquor, we are from Wisconsin!

Lock all doors: Make sure all the outside doors are locked. This includes the 4 doors to the lanai, the garage side door, and the front door. The screen door exiting the lanai stays unlocked.

Air conditioning: Please set the air conditioning back to 78 degrees.

Any problems: Please email any problems, items that need repair, or suggestions to

brymyers@gmail.com or text Bryan at (608) 604-5395.
