Can we bring our pet to your Villa?
For the comfort and convenience of all of our guests, we cannot allow any pets. We respectfully request potential guests to refrain from asking, even though your pet may be an "exception the rule." We will not be able to grant your request. Please consider the next family that will be visiting. A recent guest disregarded this policy and the damages their pet created exceeded their security deposit.

Can we smoke inside your Villa?
For the convenience and comfort of all of our guests, smoking is not permitted in the home itself, but you may smoke on the Lanai area. Again, please consider the next family that will be visiting.

We are NOT a time share, real estate agents or travel agents. We are a small business called Ball Five LLC. We are the legal owners of the home.

What are the advantages of renting a Villa instead of a hotel room?
Our Villa is larger, more economical, and much more comfortable than a hotel room. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and you do not have to worry about noisy neighbors banging on the walls or ceiling. Parking is only a few feet from the front door, the pool is always open, separate bedrooms for the kids, plenty of bathrooms to get ready in the morning, and the ability to cook your own meals. Toys, videos, games are all included for your enjoyment. Take a nap on the couch or relax by the pool. Enjoy your vacation home.
Back to Top
We have never stayed in a place like this. What do we need to bring with us?
You should bring food, paper goods (paper towels, napkins, toilet paper), bathroom toiletries and supplies, and anything else you think you might need. The Villa has a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher, can opener, coffee maker, etc., as well as plates, dishes, glasses, silverware, and cooking utensils.
Back to Top
Is early check-in or late check-out permitted?
Early arrivals and late departures are difficult to accommodate. Our property manager requires a minimum of 5 hours to prepare the Villa after one family leaves and the next one arrives. These requests may be accommodated only when the Villa is empty the night before arrival or and after departure. Expect to pay a fee of $50 for early arrival or late departure without prior permission.
Please be considerate of the families that are enjoying the Villa before and after you.

Is there public transportation near the Villa?
There is no public transportation near by, but taxi cabs are available. We suggest that you
rent a vehicle while visiting our Villa.
Back to Top
Pool heat is available at an extra charge (charges are listed on the RATES link). In the colder months, you may wait to decide, and let us know. Please keep in mind that it takes approx 36 hours to heat the pool. Your credit card will be charged the day we ask our property manager to turn it on. Tampering with the pool heater lock cover is strictly forbidden and will result in forfeiture of Security Deposit.
