DO NOT OPERATE FIREPLACES - Florida is already toasty enough. Please do not start fires in the living room or master bedroom fireplaces.

INSECTS - Please be aware that staying in a coastal area comes with the wildlife we love (dolphins, eagles, manatees, etc.) and the wildlife we don’t (spiders, snakes, mosquitos, palmetto bugs, lizards, etc.). Be sure to keep windows and doors closed. Despite our meticulous cleaning and regular pest control schedule, insects like palmetto bugs occasionally get lost and end up in the house. Refunds will not be issued for insects and/or animals found inside or outside of the property.

LINENS - Your stay at Mandalay Manor includes linens, bath towels, pool towels, and a starting supply of essentials such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry pods and basic toiletries. Additional needs for your stay will be your responsibility. To provide the best quality service to our guests, we offer luxury hotel-quality towels & linens. Please be respectful of bed sheets and towels by using makeup wipes rather than white washcloths and towels to remove makeup/foundation, face medications/creams, and tanning products. If a linen gets stained, please do not wash it; set it aside and we will take care of it after check-out.

AT YOUR OWN RISK - Use of the property including use of the pool, hot tub, kayaks, paddleboards, and elevator is at your own risk. Please exercise appropriate care and supervise children at all times. As a courtesy, we may leave complimentary consumables such as condiments, toiletries, and other supplies. It is up to the guest's discretion to consume these items if they wish. Host is not responsible for any allergies that guests may have.

We want you to have a 5-star experience at Mandalay Manor. If ABSOLUTELY anything results in a less than magical, extraordinary, and phenomenal stay, please contact us immediately so that we can address it for you as soon as possible.
