Please read through and ask any questions keeping in mind each “rule” has been created due to a previous guests behavior. ** Please NOTE** This does not apply to most guests but because of previous guests behavior we must state that we have implemented a ZERO TOLERANCE policy regarding verbal abuse, threats, condescending and foul language towards myself, my Co-Hosts or any vendors.(pest control, pool maintenance, handyman, etc.) ALL communication needs to be kept on platform, meaning Airbnb Messages, we will NOT communicate via phone or text so that all communication is documented for Airbnb.

For example, some homes have reversed valves that might seem confusing but are clearly labeled for your convenience. Additionally, there have been instances where hot water was temporarily depleted or drains became clogged due to hair, despite being cleaned and equipped with filters prior to your arrival. If a guest declines to assist with basic troubleshooting and a professional is sent to the property, only to determine the issue was due to user error or a non-issue, the guest will be responsible for the service call fee. Please understand that this is not considered a standard cost of doing business, and short-term rentals do not include 24/7 on-site maintenance. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! - Plumbing: The easiest way to disrupt an enjoyable stay is a plumbing problem. To prevent this, we kindly ask NOT to flush anything oth...

It was an early residential area of Tampa connected by streetcar.. The neighborhood's historic homes, eclectic shops and gourmet restaurants are an increasing draw. In 2003, Southeast Seminole Heights was named Best Neighborhood in America.
Guest Access
Guests will have entire home access except for the garage and owners closets which we use for storage. Guests are NOT permitted to touch pool equipment. AT ANY TIME. This is due to a former guest making "adjustments" and the pump exploding, flooding the yard and causing over $5k in damages.
