One friendly, currently rabies vaccinated dog, up to 50 pounds; there is a $150 pet fee. Please indicate in your reservation if you are bringing your pet. Thank you in advance for being neighborly and following city ordinance & cleaning up after your pet & also being sure your dog does not disturb the neighbors. Collier County requires that dogs be leashed when walking outside for their safety. Although Marco Island Beaches do not allow dogs, the Canine Cove at Mackle is a nice spot to take your furry friend. Although our home is great to gather family or friends, it is not a party house. Please do not book our home for parties or oversized groups; only twelve overnight guests are allowed, including children, babies and infants. Oversized groups are against city ordinance and can get very noisy, and it is imperative to be respectful of the full-time residents who surround this home. Please do not book this home if you wish to have a party during your time in Marco Island. Large gatherings typically disturb the neighbors and often break the noise ordinances, thus resulting in fines from the city. Sometimes, a guest's music may inadvertently get too loud, and we will receive a noise alert from the Noise Aware system. If this happens, our management company will let you know in order to simply lower the level, so you avoid receiving noise violation fines. We are local, and so should your group need something, we are happy to help! Please note that all payments are required to go through the VRBO website payments. No payments may be made outside of VRBO per VRBO policies. A rental agreement will need to be signed upon the receipt of the second payment. Once your booking is finalized, our management company agreement will not match the VRBO quote because VRBO collects a service fee that does not go to us, and they collect the 7% required State Lodging Tax that is remitted by them by law. We have two exterior Ring cameras for the security of our home, especially when it is vacant. One is above the garage and the other is by the front door. We are local and so this allows us to know if we have deliveries or service workers needing access to our property. In addition, we have a NoiseAware monitoring system, which measures the noise risk level inside and outside of the home. One is inside the main living area and the other is on the lanai. If the exterior noise level goes beyond the allowable levels based on the Marco Island Noise Ordinance, guests will receive an alert via text messaging. (Unfortunately, it can't discern between human noise & thunderstorms, so guests may get an alert during a storm). We request that guests keep within the allowable noise levels, especially in the evenings. This way, our guests can avoid incurring fines from the city and we can keep good relationships with our neighbors. Please do not tamper with NoiseAware equipment; this helps keep guests from getting fined. Please do not tamper with the cameras; these are here for the safety and well-being of our property.
