INQUIRE for Availability & Actual Rates (based on # of Guests, Dates and Length of Stay). If you read the full listing, most of your questions will be answered. Anything that remains unanswered, please ask. I will respond as quickly as possible, normally within a few hours.

OFTEN ASKED for "Best Rate": 7 nights (Saturday to Saturday) or longer. If it is booked for part of that time, the next best is dates which fill in between confirmed rentals that are less than 7 nights. Specials posted when available. Holiday Rates are higher. When minimum stay is listed, shorter stay is at a higher rate.

NON-SMOKING CONDO For the comfort of all guests (and Owner). You may smoke on the balcony, with the door closed.

Condo Regulations Restrict any guests’ pets. Service Dogs of course are permitted (see additional requirements below.) Under NO circumstances may a cat be brought to my condo (I’m horribly allergic).

I've owned and have been renting my condo since 2000. Please inquire for actual rate based on your specific stay. Rates listed on the website cannot calculate for all the factors which make up the rental rates, including # of people, Dates, Length of Stay, Date of Arrival, etc. I am listed on a few sites…some require payment on site, others allow you to pay owner directly.

FYI, if you are concerned about renting directly you can Confirm Ownership of a particular property, look up the property address/my name on Monroe County Property Taxes. I also have local references from a local business owner and realtor, details on request. It’s an extra step that can provide you with peace of mind if your unsure vs paying 15-20% more on other websites. Additionally, you can look me up: I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist in Private Practice Specializing in CranioSacral Therapy in Miami.
