Ensure all members of your party are comfortable using stairs during your stay. The backyard also includes a few small steps up to the patio. **Florida Environment and Pest Control:** Florida's warm and humid climate is home to a variety of creatures, including but not limited to, ants, spiders, flies, fruit flies, roaches, palmetto bugs, lizards, frogs, etc. We maintain a regular pest control service to keep these pests at bay, but we cannot completely control the natural ecosystem. If you encounter any pests during your stay, please inform me immediately, and I will arrange for our pest control company to address the issue promptly. No refunds will be given if any bugs are seen. **WiFi and Internet Service:** Our WiFi is provided by Frontier, and while we rarely experience issues, weather or other factors beyond our control can occasionally cause disruptions. If I receive any notice of service outages, I will notify you right away with an estimated timeframe for resolution. Usually, a simple reboot of the router can resolve most connectivity issues. Should you experience any persistent problems, please let me know so I can contact the internet provider to resolve them.
Please review and respect Michele's house rules during your stay.

“We loved staying at Michele's home. Three of us were attending UMC meetings at nearby Florida Southern University and the location was so convenient, with private bedrooms for each of us. The home was beautiful and so well kept. It was the perfect sanctuary after long days of meetings.”
“One of the best AirBnB's I've ever stayed in. The house is beautiful and comfortable, the location is excellent, and the backyard area is perfect for relaxing and grilling. And this place had everything I needed, even the little things that are often missing from AirBnB rentals like a wine opener, pizza cutter, toddler-friendly plates and cups... We were very happy during our stay.”
