If you do not have the permit the property will be fined on a daily basis and the fines will be taken from your security deposit.
Cameras: We have one camera on property. It is the ring door bell at the front door. The rear camera on the pool patio is OFF during your stay for privacy reasons. We have it as security when the house is empty.

We loved staying here! We walked to the beach 3-4 times during our stay pulling the wagons full of beach chairs and toys for the kids. It was so nice to have everything we needed already at the house. The kitchen is well stocked with basically anything you would need or want. There was an issue with the dishwasher and Kristen had her maintenance guy come and fix it within hours. I would stay here again. My boys (6 & 8) swam in the pool every day and it was awesome to use the pool floats and toys. Overall the house was clean and cozy. Thanks Kristen for sharing your home with us!

Best vaca!
The stay last week was by far one of the best trips we have had on Marco in April. Kristen the host has an amazing house with all the amenities you can ask for. The house is spacious with all the beach necessities and a beautiful outside area with a gorgeous pool. The property is very close to the beach and a nice walk to the shops and restaurants. Kristen the owner was very quick to answer any question we had which were minimal. I highly recommend this property and will book again with Kristen. Thank you!

Wonderful week on Mendel
Loved our stay. The house is great - awesome location to walk to the beach with all amenities you could need. The house was ready early and we were informed of that so we could check in early which was perfect. The host was very responsive too any questions we had. We will enjoy staying again in the future.

A wonderful stay
We had great communication with Kristin. She provided us with tons of information about activities, restaurants, etc. The house was exactly as described and ideal for our Thanksgiving week. We prepared a lot of meals and found a well-equipped kitchen and pantry. Comfortable beds and nicely laid-out bathrooms made our stay perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to rent from Kristin again.

great location, home and host!
Enjoyed our stay! Close to beach and lots to do within biking distance. House was well equipped with back pack beach chairs and bikes to ride. Used the yoga mat for beach yoga. Nice cooler for the boat we rented! Kitchen had everything more than expected and the furnishings were all super cute in house with lots of extra blankets.
We biked to mini golf, gelato, dinner, the jw marriott and really enjoyed our stay.
Host was helpful. Responsive and even had a handyman who came and took trash out.
Great home to rent with good layout for parents w teens/kids or another family on the other side of house. Would be good for grandparents and family. Loved having 3 king beds and a bunk bed room.
