Property Managed By: FlipMyBnB Vacation Homes
We will send you a link upon booking to our online "Welcome Guide" This is our house manual that includes all the information you will need to know about our home and offers LOTS of suggestions for dining and things to do while in the Tampa Area! You can also pre-order cakes, treats, and goodies to be in the home upon arrival and items if you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or other special event!
We want you to enjoy your stay but feel it necessary to communicate the below items as not every guest arrives with the intention to be respectful and enjoy the “sharing community” experience. Please read through and ask any questions keeping in mind each “rule” has been created due to a previous guests behavior.
** Please NOTE** This does not apply to most guests but because of previous guests behavior we must state that we have implemented a ZERO TOLERANCE policy regarding verbal abuse, threats, condescending and foul language towards myself, my Co-Hosts or any vendors.(pest control, pool maintenance, handyman, etc.) ALL communication needs to be kept on platform, meaning Airbnb Messages, we will NOT communicate via phone or text so that all communication is documented for Airbnb. ANY abuse from guests will be grounds for immediate cancellation of your reservation without refund. You will be removed from the property by law enforcement regardless of the time of day or night. Think twice.
