🚗 GETTING AROUND

South Tampa is car friendly with simple street grids. Quick access to the Selmon Expressway for Downtown, Water Street, and Amalie Arena. Gandy Bridge gets you to St. Pete and Gulf beaches. Uber/Lyft are plentiful day and night. HART buses run toward Downtown and shopping hubs. Bring or rent a bike for Bayshore Boulevard. Downtown has rentable e-scooters. The Pirate Water Taxi runs along the Hillsborough River for sightseeing between stops.

🎯 Pro tip: plan around rush hour on game nights near Amalie Arena/Raymond James, and leave earlier for beach days to beat bridge traffic.

🔐 IMPORTANT PRE-CHECK-IN REQUIREMENT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

In accordance with our building's policy, a quick background check is required for the primary guest 🧾, a mandatory step due to the upscale nature of the community 🏢. It also helps keep things safe and welcoming for everyone 😊.

✅ How it works: after booking you'll get a secure link, it takes a few minutes. You'll need a valid government-issued ID (license or passport). Additional overnight guests also need a clear photo ID. No personal info is stored on our end.

⏳ Complete this promptly to avoid check-in delays. Instructions won't be released until it's done for the primary guest and any overnight guests.

📌 Passing the check: simple formality, guests have never had issues. Failed check: we may deny entry, full refund if you cancel on your end. Refusal to complete: no refund, no access granted.

By confirming your booking, you agree to these terms. 📝

🌟 QUICK NOTE ABOUT YOUR GUIDEBOOK

We use Touch Stay for all check-in info. On check-in morning you'll get a link to our virtual guidebook 📲📖 with door codes, directions, amenities, and local tips. Prefer not to use it? Just tell us and we'll send screenshots instead 🙌

Please review the parking details in your check-in link on arrival day to avoid towing. Vehicles parked incorrectly may be towed at the owner's expense; we can't cover related costs. Message us if anything's unclear.

🐜 PEST CONTROL NOTE

Pest control runs monthly on the 3rd and 4th Monday, though it's not strictly limited to those days. We'll give you a heads-up if it falls during your stay and try to reschedule when possible 🙏

📍 PLEASE NOTE – APARTMENT LIVING

This unit is in a residential apartment building. Usually quiet and peaceful, but there's a small chance of hearing sounds from nearby units occasionally — just part of apartment living 🛋✨. Very rare, but we want to set the right expectations 💛

🚨 NO PARTIES OR LARGE GATHERINGS

This is a boutique apartment building. Guests will be immediately removed and escorted off premises (and potentially fined) if any un-tolerated behavior is caught by noise sensors, camera, or management.
