Standard occupancy is 2 persons per every standard bedroom, an additional occupant fee of $25 per person/per night will be assessed for each occupant over this up to max occupancy, if applicable.

Quiet Hours 10p-8a. You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Reservations are typically taken for 7-night Saturday-Saturday stays. However, we can offer flexible stays with varying minimum night requirements and non-Saturday check-ins/check-outs during most of the year with exception to holidays and peak weeks unless city ordinances prohibit it. Always feel free to ask prior to booking to see if this is a possibility as we may not be able to accommodate changes after booking.

CLEANING AND SAFETY:
All our homes and linens are cleaned, sanitized, and inspected between each guest per industry standards. A starter set of basic amenities, linens, towels, and bedding are provided at the beginning of your stay per home occupancy. Daily housekeeping or linen services are not included in your stay.

Additional cleaning and laundry services are available by request mid-stay at additional charge. For stays of 28-days or more, a mid-stay clean will be required to be scheduled and paid by guest at additional cost.

These are professionally laundered at a commercial facility between each guest. Please keep in mind extra sets are not kept in homes.

BABY EQUIPMENT RENTALS:
Baby equipment is not available for use at the home for safety and sanitation reasons. We are however partnered with local companies offering rentals of these items including pick-up and drop-off.

POOL & SPA (if any):
The pool is heated year-round at no additional cost for the convenience and comfort of our guests. Pool temperatures are set between 82-85 degrees and will not be set higher due to keeping proper chemical balance, clarity, and cleanliness of the pools. Due to strict city noise ordinances pool heaters and filters do not run during the hours of 10p-8a. Please note that cooler ambient temperatures (20-degree difference between water and air temperature) may result in pool heater unable to compensate the difference. We are not responsible for cold spells causing cooler pool temperatures or unexpected failure of equipment. Please note that a residential spa is a section of pool that once turned on provides relaxation, misting bubbles and warmer temperatures in the high 90s - low 100s but are not permitted to remain on 24/7 or will not reach temperatures like that of a commercial hot tub. Spas may not be operational during the months of June - September to avoid high temperatures of pool water which is detrimental to keeping proper pool chemical balances. Guests are required to read and abide by all posted rules, safety and operating information. Under no circumstance is any guest allowed to adjust pool equipment. Failure to abide may result in guests being fined or liable for any damages to equipment.

PROPERTY SECURITY/SAFETY:

Great Property and Location!
It was our 3rd time in AMI and we love the island even more. This property was great for a family of 4 + a grandma that came to visit. Great location to the AMI town, close to beaches, stores, publix and restaurants. Pool was great with good temprature, excellent layout. It fit our cars, bpat and golf cart perfectly and the best pet friendly for our four leg daughter and on budget for a week! AMI is pur favorite spot and will return hopefully soon! Thank you!!!

On turtle time
The property overall was wonderful. It was the perfect size for a family of 5 with little ones. It’s beautifully decorated and met all of our needs. The kitchen was well stocked and there was even a grill that we didn’t get the chance to use. Nice outdoor area and seating, although we had one issue that should be improved in regards to the pool. Our 6 and 4 year old swim without any flotations however like most kids, they seem to grab onto the sides or pull themselves out from the side of the pool at times. On day 2 we discovered pool blisters on every one of their fingertips from repeatedly touching the rough bullnose paver edging of the pool. We gave the pool a break here and there and went to the beach instead at times to give them a break. Also used a few towels along the edges so the kids could grip that instead. I believe the edging could be improved by putting a sealant on those edge pavers. We visit yearly at different homes and we’ve never had this issue before. Keep in mind that I didn’t reach out to management about this during our stay as I knew this wasn’t something that would be fixed the same week. My advice would be to discourage any little ones from touching the edging too much or keep a close eye on it. All in all, still a wonderful stay that I would recommend (especially if those pool edges could be smoothed).

My month at turtle time
Property was accurately described on line. Communication with property manager was excellent. Questions promptly answered. Kitchen very well stocked with dishes/pots and pans and utensils. Bathroom exhaust fans seemed a little old and may need replacement. Pool and landscaping very nice and well maintained. For a few days we had 5 people there and there was plenty of room for everyone. Pull out bed appeared brand new and took some work to open but it was comfortable. Sliding doors and when I used them screen doors in fair condition and may need replacing but certainly functional. The short walks to beach and downtown Anna Maria were real pluses.
