  All of our units are non smoking and most homeowners prefer guests do not smoke on the balconies either. Most of our resorts/communities offer designated smoking sections. We greatly appreciate your cooperation at adhering to this rule.

• Do we offer early check-in/check-outs?

  Due to our high demand and increased traffic during busy seasons we do not offer early check-ins. When possible we do try to accommodate guests by giving them an opportunity to purchase an extra day at a discounted rate to provide the flexibility they desire. We do not allow delayed check outs as this becomes hard to coordinate with our cleaning team. If you are staying at one of our condos, we do ask that you text 850-368-8540 upon departure.

• Are property wristbands and passes souvenirs?

  While it is always fun to take souvenirs home from the beach, unfortunately wristbands have to be left inside the property upon departure. Many Homeowner Associations now charge us per wristband/passes. If your wristband is broken during your stay, please call our office and we will be happy to provide you with a new one.

• If we arrive before our check-in time of 4:00 pm CST can we access beaches and pools early?

  Yes, you can absolutely use any public beach access prior to your 4:00pm check-in time. Homes with private pools cannot be used until 4:00. Some communities do require wristbands for their beach and pool. In those instances, you have to wait until you receive these items at check-in to use amenities. In many cases, the wristbands, pool passes, and parking passes will be left on the kitchen counter in the respective unit.

• Can we have groceries delivered before our check-in time?

  In order to avoid confusion with cleaners and misplacement, we suggest to schedule your delivery at/after 4:00pm when your door code is activated. This way your groceries can be delivered and remain fresh.

  A great service to use for pack n plays (and other baby items) is Beach Baby Crib Rentals! They offer our guest 20% off of babycare items when you mention you are vacationing with us.
