The Villa
Why do you charge extra for pool/spa heat?
Not every guest wants wants pool/spa heat so in order to keep our nightly rate low we charge extra for pool / spa heat.
Do you offer any discounts?
We offer discounts for stays longer than a week and during certain times of the year.
Why don’t you offer an outdoor grill?
We want the best experience possible for our guests and a clean grille is one of them. Asking a guest to clean the grille for the next guest or asking the cleaners to clean the grille just won’t work. We will recommend that you rent one for a local business, No Hassles Vacations that will deliver a clean grille before your arrival and pick up after you depart.
Do you have a provide a crib?
We have a pack-n-play but if you need a crib check out No Hassles Vacations and you can rent one from them. They will deliver and pickup after your stay.
The Lake
Is there fish in the lake and can I fish there?
Yes there are fish in the lake. The HOA occasionally will stock with bass and crappie but we personally haven’t seen anyone catch a bass. Yes you can fish in the lake. For better fishing we recommend driving north on 27 where there are lots of very large lakes for fishing. Info on fishing licenses can be found at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com.
Are there alligators in the lake?
Hey it’s Florida, the saying is that you have to suspect any body of water to potentially have alligators from time to time. When one is sighted in this lake the HOA has it removed by animal control.
Can we play in the lake?
We don’t recommend you playing in the lake but you can play along the banks. DO NOT SWIM in the LAKE!
