Policies & House Guidelines 

Welcome to Larson’s Corner

Larson’s Corner is an owner-occupied home in Milton, Florida. We want guests to feel comfortable settling in and enjoying the home while also respecting the shared spaces, other guests, our neighbors, and our resident cats.

Please review the following information before booking. By confirming a reservation, guests agree to follow the house guidelines during their stay.

Check-In & Check-Out

Standard check-in is 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Standard check-out is by 11:00 AM.

Early check-in beginning at 11:00 AM may be available for a $25 early check-in fee and must be arranged in advance. Availability depends on the previous guest’s departure and the time needed to properly prepare the room.

Exact arrival instructions and the Larson’s Corner street address are provided after your booking has been confirmed.

Quiet Hours

Quiet hours are 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM.

Guests are welcome to use the shared spaces during their stay, but we ask everyone to be mindful of household noise during quiet hours, particularly when other rooms are occupied.

Registered Guests & Visitors

Only guests included in the confirmed reservation may stay overnight at Larson’s Corner.

Visitors are not permitted without prior approval. If you would like someone to visit during your stay, please contact Shari first.

Reservations may not be transferred to another person without prior approval.

Parking

Guest parking is available in the driveway only.

Please pull forward when parking so there is room for other guests and household vehicles.

Our neighborhood HOA does not permit street parking, so please do not park along the street.

Smoking, Vaping & Drugs

Larson’s Corner is a drug-free home.

Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside the house. Smoking or vaping is allowed only in the designated outdoor area.

Please dispose of smoking materials properly and never leave them in the yard, garden, driveway, or outdoor seating areas.

Laundry

Guests have access to the household washer and dryer.

Laundry hours are 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Each guest room includes a laundry basket, and laundry supplies are included among the welcome amenities.

Housekeeping During Your Stay

We want longer stays to remain just as comfortable as the first night.

Guest rooms receive a weekly room refresh, including light housekeeping and a fresh linen change.

Trash is removed regularly, generally every other day.

The shared hall bathroom is thoroughly cleaned every 2 days.

The Sunrise private bathroom is thoroughly cleaned every 3 days.

Scheduled housekeeping may require brief access to the guest room. We will always respect your belongings and privacy while maintaining the cleanliness and comfort of the space.

Shared Spaces

Guests are welcome to enjoy the shared areas of our home, including the full kitchen, dining room, coffee and tea bar, living room, laundry room, work and charging station, backyard, garden, patio, grills, outdoor seating, games, books, Xbox Series X, and Adventure Station.

Please clean up after yourself in shared spaces and return household items, games, kitchen equipment, and outdoor equipment to their proper location after use.

Kitchen & Cooking

Guests have access to the full kitchen and a variety of appliances, including cookware and small appliances for everyday cooking and meal preparation.

Please clean dishes, cookware, counters, and appliances after use so the kitchen remains ready for everyone.

Adventure Station & Outdoor Equipment

Guests may enjoy our Adventure Station, which includes stand-up paddle boards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, pop-up beach tents, coolers, beach towels, kites, picnic supplies, and other outdoor gear.

Please treat borrowed equipment with care and return items after use.

Outdoor amenities also include the backyard, garden, yard swing, cornhole, outdoor seating, umbrellas, a Blackstone grill, and George Foreman electric grill.

Ainsley & Luci

Larson’s Corner is home to our resident cats, Ainsley and Luci.

They are part of the household and may occasionally visit guests in the common areas.

Please keep exterior doors closed so the girls do not accidentally escape.

If either cat wanders into your room, please make sure she is not accidentally closed inside when you leave.

Guests booking Larson’s Corner should be comfortable staying in a home with resident cats.

Room Amenities

Every guest room includes a mini fridge, sound machine, bedside fan, streaming TV, Wi-Fi, fresh linens and towels, laundry basket, hangers, and welcome amenities.

Bathroom essentials including shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, and body wash are provided.

Cleaning & Turnover Fee

A $25 cleaning and turnover fee applies per stay, per room.

This covers preparation of the room for your arrival, freshly laundered linens, cleaning and sanitizing, bathroom preparation, restocking, and welcome amenities.

Taxes

Published room rates do not include applicable lodging taxes.

Any taxes required for your stay will be added to your final invoice when applicable.

Applicable refundable taxes will be handled according to tax requirements. Any refund of card-processing or payment-processing fees will depend on whether those fees are returned to Larson’s Corner by the payment provider.

Safety & Respect for the Home

Please immediately report leaks, electrical issues, unusual odors, smoke, damage, malfunctioning equipment, or any other condition that could affect the safety of the home or its occupants.

In the event of a suspected emergency, maintenance issue, or threat to life or property, the hosts may need to access a guest room to investigate or address the situation.

Guests are responsible for damage caused by themselves or their approved visitors beyond ordinary wear and tear.

Questions or Booking Assistance

Have a question about the house, your stay, or whether something is allowed? Just ask. We would much rather answer a question beforehand than have anyone wondering.
