While we are within a brisk walk to public beach access points along Scenic Highway 98, we always recommend our guests take full advantage of the exclusive deals we’re able to offer for a street legal four-passenger golf cart rental during your stay. Not only is it fun to cruise around in, but it takes the dread out of lugging all your beach items along on a walk. Our community is very golf cart friendly, and it can be driven on any road 35MPH & below, giving you easy access to the beach, shopping, and restaurants without the hassle of loading everyone in the car! For parking, we can accommodate up to two vehicles. Street parking isn’t permitted. • You’ll receive keyless entry instructions at 4PM CST on the day of your arrival for a smooth, hassle-free check-in. • PLEASE read our house rules in detail before booking. We take time to put important information here that we need each guest to take into consideration when booking our home. While not all items listed may apply to your stay, we host guests of various group compositions so we must list all rules that could apply to a trip. Thank you for your understanding! • We love taking the golf cart to pretty much anywhere around this area. During busy times it can be easier to take an Uber, Lyft, or taxi to avoid dealing with traffic and parking. The town is fairly easy to navigate, as most everything to do is directly off the main road through in either direction! You can definitely take a short walk to the beach, and it is almost always easier than driving around looking for parking! Grocery delivery is also available in our area from local grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Publix, WinnDixie, Walmart, and Target via InstaCart or Shipt. • Airport Distances: Destin FL (VPS) - 18 miles Panama City FL (ECP) - 48 miles Pensacola FL (PNS) - 76 miles • We are pet friendly for up to 2 dogs per booking, but we do charge a $200 pet fee. Only house trained pets are permitted, and if planned to leave unattended they must be crated to avoid damage. It is required to clean up after your pet, both inside and out, or additional fees will be assessed. ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are subject to the pet fee, as they do not fall under ADA compliant service animal requirements. • Our cleaners supply a courtesy supply of toiletries for roughly the first day or so of your stay (toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, bar soap, laundry soap, dish detergent) but guests are responsible for any additional supplies needed. We do not stock spices, oils, sunscreen, food storage (Ziplocs, foil, etc.) so please plan accordingly if you’ll need these items. • We do provide beach towels for guests to use poolside or at the beach, as we ask guests to please not use any white towels in these spaces. Any other beach/pool items are not provided or guaranteed. • Golf cart use is not permitted for use by guests under age 25 (insurance reasons) and unfortunately no exceptions can be made. Drivers must be licensed and insured, and sign the waiver prior to use.
