Florida Property Disclosures
Force Majeure (Hurricanes): In the event of a Mandatory Evacuation Order issued by local authorities, deposits may be applied as a "Stay Credit" for future dates within 12 months. No cash refunds will be issued for weather-related events unless the property is legally unable to provide the room.

All "Non-Refundable" designations are final.

Authorized Pets & Fees
- Permitted Pets: Only domesticated dogs under 40 lbs are permitted. A maximum of two (2) pets per unit is allowed. Only dogs and cats are allowed. Exotic animals are strictly prohibited.

Service Animals vs. Emotional Support Animals (ESAs)
- Service Animals: In accordance with Florida Law and the ADA, legitimate service dogs (trained to perform specific tasks) are welcome at no additional charge. Guests may be asked: (1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
- Emotional Support Animals (ESAs): Under Florida 2026 lodging standards,
ESAs do not have public access rights in motels.
They are treated as standard pets and are subject to all fees, weight limits, and breed restrictions.
On-Site Rules & Behavioral Standards
- Leash Requirement: Pets must be on a non-retractable leash (maximum 6ft) at all times when outside the room.
- Unattended Pets: Pets cannot be left unattended in the room at any time unless secured in a crate. If an unattended pet causes a noise disturbance, management reserves the right to enter the room or require the guest to remove the pet immediately.
- Prohibited Areas: Pets are strictly prohibited from the laundry facilities, and office.
- Waste Removal: Guests must immediately dispose of pet waste. A $100 "Poop Fine" will be charged per instance of uncollected waste.
Damages & Inspections
- Damage Liability: The guest is 100% responsible for any damage to furniture, flooring, or drywall.
- Room Inspections: For weekly/monthly stays, management will conduct a
mandatory bi-weekly room inspection to check for pet-related damages or odors.
Violations & Eviction
- Undisclosed Pets: If a pet is discovered in a room that was not disclosed at check-in, the guest will be charged a $300 penalty fee and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without a refund.
- Noise/Nuisance: We maintain a "One-Warning" policy for barking or aggressive behavior. A second complaint will result in the immediate termination of the stay with total forfeiture of all payments and deposits.
