Appliance Information

A/C: Please do not set the A/C thermostat below 72 degrees and any higher than 79 to avoid condensation on the floors above and below causing A/C unit to freeze up.

With Florida’s humidity, we also ask that you do not leave A/C running while the sliding glass doors or front door are open. Excessive condensation will occur on floors and A/C vents and will result in the unit taking longer to re-cool.

WARNING: LEAVING FRONT DOOR AND BALCONY DOORS OPEN WILL CREATE A STRONG WIND SUCTION THROUGHOUT THE UNIT AND WILL CAUSE ALL DOORS IN THE UNIT TO CLOSE WITH EXTREME FORCE. THIS ALSO CAUSES BLINDS AND DRAPES TO BE DAMAGED FROM BLOWING OUTSIDE THE UNIT.

Damages caused to door frames, locks, blinds, drapes or wall pictures falling and damaged due to leaving sliding glass doors open will be the full responsibility of the registered guest.

Washing Machine & Dishwasher: Please do not operate the washing machine or dishwasher unless you are in the unit. These appliances can malfunction and flood many units. Please use appropriate detergent for HG machines.

Ice Maker: We empty ice and clean tray after every checkout. Please flip bar on icemaker down upon arrival to begin producing ice.

Refrigerator: We ask that guests do not adjust the refrigerator/freezer control knob to the maximum setting. Refrigerators are not engineered to go from being completely empty to full in a matter of minutes. Please be aware that if you place a significant amount of groceries in the refrigerator, it will take a considerable time for those groceries to cool, particularly if you have room temperature bottled water and soda. If the freezer is making ice, then your refrigerator is working properly. Please simply give it time.

If there is anything not functioning, please give us a call immediately at 850-234-8839 or after hours 850-234-7430 or 850-867-8845.
