We adore our family pets and would consider your pet too. We have air purifiers throughout the home to control dust, pet dander, allergens, etc. We do not have carpet but we do have area rugs so Fiddo needs to wash his paws before coming inside, please. And like all other pet considered units, there is a pet fee to pay.

We have Beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys and a beach umbrella.

And there’s something special about an outside shower and showering when you get back from the beach so we added a temperature controlled, enclosed outside shower!

**There is the possibility that you will see an alligator swim by every now and then. It is illegal to harass, feed, or do anything to an alligator but observe and admire. Also, our Lake looks like fun to fish in but you can't really. We do have superb fishing spots all over the island and we will be happy to share that info with you if you like.
