Welcome to Florida, where the "state bird" is humorously said to be the mosquito! In our beautiful state, especially during the summer months, encountering pests like mosquitoes, bugs, and lizards is a common and natural part of the environment. This is not a cause for concern or panic and does not constitute a reason for a refund.

Rest assured that all of our properties are serviced monthly by professional pest control companies to ensure the best possible experience for our guests. In fact, if you do happen to see a dead bug, it’s a good sign that the pest control is doing its job!

We can confidently assure you that our units are extremely clean and meticulously cared for, and there are no infestations. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we take great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and care.

✔ Max 3 pets – $150 per pet (additional cleaning fees may apply).
✔ Respect neighbors – keep noise levels down, especially at night.
✔ Clean up after your pet – designated pet relief areas available.
✔ Leash required – pets must be leashed in common outdoor areas.
✔ No excessive barking or aggressive behavior – complaints may lead to cancellation.

By following these simple guidelines, we can ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone!

Thank you for understanding and enjoy your stay in our Florida home!

We are family run business who come from a long line of worldwide traveling family members and once that bug has bitten you, it can never be cured…thankfully! Needless to say, we are carrying on the tradition and are blessed to have, and still be, traveling the world extensively!

Traveling expands your horizons in a way that nothing else can, we have come to note that as vast and as beautifully stunning our world is, we are desperately failing at keeping our magnificent planet that way for future generations to come

One commonality amongst us as a family, is that we realize that we want to and CAN, make a difference in some small way through our business….and so, Vacation With A Purpose was born
We have themed almost all of our units, each time a guest stays with us we are able to take a portion of that income and donate to a cause that’s related to that property. As an example, In our Artists Way, downtown St Pete, our donation goes toward the Autism project. If you happen to choose our Sunset Beach location, we support the Surfriders Association and so much more...

We are passionate about helping others and helping to heal our planet and we hope that you will feel that way, knowing that you too have contributed, all while having a fulfilled vacation…with a purpose!
