Royal Palm Paradise

Yes! This property is a non-smoking rental both inside and outside. Smoking at this property may result in a $500 fee assessment plus damages.

Yes! This property does allow up to two friendly dogs under 40lbs so long as as they are house-broken, do not bark excessively, do not chew on furniture, and are good with other neighborhood dogs and people. No other types of animals are permitted without prior written approval.

Yes! You can bring your boat and dock it in the water along the dock in the rear of the property. Boats must be properly tied up to the dock posts directly to allow for tidal changes and secure storage. You must provide your own ropes and you are fully responsible for property securing your boat.

Your boat will remain in the water (as the lift is occupied year-round and not available to tenants). Limitation: All boats MUST BE under 30 feet in total length.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Winter tides can cause extremely shallow conditions and the boat may contact the canal bottom if negative tides are experienced during your visit. These extreme tides happen monthly during the winter months and will make it difficult to launch until tides rise.

Not Recommended! If you are an expert at tying up the jetski on the water to account for tide fluctuations, you may bring a jetski. However, too often jetski’s are destroyed by getting trapped under the docks on canals due to improper tie ups to account for tidal changes.

There is no lift nor floating dock available, so jetskis will remain in the water and must be secured properly.

ALTERNATIVE – Trailer the jetski. There is a boat ramp right across Palma Sola Bay (on north side) and only a few miles drive from the house. The ramp is free to use and most of the year has ample parking.

Yes, there is room in the wrap-around driveway. While we rarely have an issue, there is always the chance of code enforcement issuing a warning. Our recommendation is to park the trailer on the concrete driveway alongside the property line and nearest the house. This will greatly reduce any issues that may surface from the city. Keeping things out front nice and tidy is not only respectful to the neighbors, but also reduce the chances of complaints being reported. The county only allows for 72 hours in the front of the property, and while issues are infrequent, it is wise to have a backup plan for storage (property owner may be able to assist)

ALTERNATIVE? Find a short term storage facility nearby of your choice and explore short term parking options.

No. No vehicles or trailers can remain parked on the street overnight per county codes. Do not risk being towed, park in the driveway!

No, the boat lift is not available to tenants and it is used year-round by the property owner. Even if a boat is not on the lift, it is not available for use.

YES! The pool is heated (for additional fee). Please contact the property manager for details in advance of your stay.

Yes! Tenants are welcome to and encouraged to use the large bait freezer located outside on the north side of the property. This is the best place to store your frozen bait, chum, or catch. PLEASE only use the bait/chum you bring, and to not take the contents of the freezer (which the homeowners may store).

No, the refrigerator located inside the garage is the owner’s fridge and is locked. If you do need extra storage of cold items, exceptions can be made however you’ll need to contact the property manager  in advance to request access.

Yes! Tenants are welcome to use the provided bikes, kayaks, paddlesboards and such AT THEIR OWN RISK. By using all such equipment, renters automatically ACCEPT the wavier and release of liability terms (below) in addition to the TERMS & CONDITIONS of the rental ( https://anchordownvacationrentals.com/terms-and-conditions/)
