Notes from the host
Seaside Serenity Direct Oceanfront
Enjoy breathtaking views of your private beach access from the Seaside Serenity Beach House. Featuring a pool, hot tub, and a sunrise deck, you will have views galore. There are two houses on the property, both are included in your rental. The main house has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a full kitchen, 2 dining areas, and a massive living room. The guesthouse has 2 more bedrooms, 2 full baths, giant living room, a kitchen and a breakfast nook. Both units have laundry.
Ring cameras located at front door and on back of house.
House has been designed with exquisite beach furnishings so that you can enjoy comfort and style while relaxing in your private oasis. Fully equipped with wifi, books, towels, linens and everything you need-just bring your suitcase and bathing suit. Pool can be heated (additional charge $90 per day must be paid for entire stay). You have private beach access so walk out the back yard and put your toes in the sand while enjoying sunny Florida.
No house parties
Event fees apply for events
Events must be fully disclosed, approved and paid for
The pool has a soaking tub. It used to be a hot tub but with the sun, sand, salt and wind we had continuous issues with it and therefore, it is not longer included in the rental. If the hot tub is working during your stay we will gladly turn it on for you, please contact our property manager 2 hours prior to use. Please note, if is not working, it is not part of the rental and no refunds will be given. The same goes for the pool heater-pool heaters in high use homes, homes on the beach, are notorious for having issues. Should you decide you want the pool heated you must make property manager aware at least a week in advance and pay for the heating for the duration of the stay. Pool heating is $200/day and must be for the duration of the stay, we do not do partial stay pool heating. Heaters cannot be turned on and off as it takes up to 24 hours to heat the pool. Should the pool heater not work during your stay, you would be refunded only any fees you have paid to heat the pool as pool heating is not guaranteed nor included in the rental.
Provided: 3 rolls toilet paper per bathroom, hand soap, dish soap (small bottle), 1 roll paper towels, 1 trash bag per bin, 3 dish soaps and three laundry pods.
Guests will be required to provide a photo ID and credit card for security deposit ($500). Security deposit is a pre-authorization, not an actual charge, unless there is damage or missing items. Authorization is removed within 48 hours of check-out.
This is a non-smoking unit-we don't care what you smoke, just do it outside. Any smoke smell in home or evidence of smoking in home will result in complete loss of security deposit. If you smoke in the home, it both is unfair to the owner that is working hard to keep their unit nice and to the next guest that rented a smoke-free home. It's Florida, this is non-negotiable so please understand.
We have our cleaners thoroughly clean and sanitize the home between each guest. We also ask our guests to please do the following at check-out (note, if this upsets you please simply find another location as there is a massive labor shortage, we frequently have guests ask for early or late check-in/out and this is how we are able to make things smooth for all guests. Please note our check out instructions:
1. Strip all beds used and pillows and put sheets, pillow covers and used towels in a pile in center of room or on beds for beds used.
2. Turn off all lights, fans can be left on.
3. Turn off TVs, coffee makers and other electronics.
4. All dishes should either be cleaned or put into dishwasher and start dishwasher cycle. This is to avoid dishes getting crusty and attracting bugs.
5. Please load one load of towels into washing machine and start.
6. Return any books, games, beach items, etc (beach items should be rinsed outside to get rid of any excess sand).
7. Empty any outdoor ashtrays, clean up any cigarette butts.
8. Empty all food from refrigerator (you can leave never opened beverages and used condiments if you wish) put in outside trash and make sure trash is on curb Sun night or Wed night.
9. Make sure keys are left in lockbox ($50 per key replacement) and garage remote and/or parking pass left on counter ($100 replacement fee).
10. Wipe down countertops and leave home the way you found it.
11. Turn A/C to 78 degrees prior to departure.
12. Drive or fly home safely and come back and see us soon!
We don't charge a security deposit but instead a small damage waiver which will cover up to $2500 in damage no questions asked. Please note, damage waiver does not cover smoke in house...so please make certain you smoke whatever you smoke outside not near doors/windows. Smoke in unit will result in eviction and a $500 charge to card on file. Please just don't do it.
