Need Something at the Home?
If there is anything you want in your Wander Home that you can’t find, simply let Concierge know so they can help out (no need to buy anything). You may contact them through the app or by texting +1-737-377-3205.
Quiet hours are from 9 PM to 7 AM. We kindly ask that you refrain from hosting parties or creating excessive noise during your stay, as we strive to maintain a peaceful environment for both our guests and neighbors. Amplified outdoor sounds are strictly prohibited.
- **Occupancy notice**:This home follows a strict maximum occupancy rule. Please make sure that the total number of guests accompanying you (including both children and adults) doesn't exceed the indicated maximum occupancy above to avoid cancellation of your stay and additional fees.
- **Amenity notice**:Before Using the Tap Water
You may notice a slight yellowish tint to the water from the faucets. This coloration occurs naturally in regions where water flows through peat soil, and the local supply here draws from the Biscayne Aquifer. Fort Lauderdale's water is clean, potable, and safe to drink.
Before Using the Hot Tub & Pool
Important notice for guests: Rinsing off before you go to the pool and hot tub could help us clear the water of impurities for you and your crew. Also, don't forget to shower thoroughly using soap and shampoo after using the hot tub/pool, in order to wash off any chemical residue. Infants must wear a swim diaper under a bathing suit—regular or loose diapers can come off and cause damage to the drainage system.
Maintenance: The pool and hot tub at this location receive weekly maintenance to ensure they remain clean and healthy. This includes chemical balancing (chlorine/bromine and other chemicals), skimming, vacuuming, and tub brushing & filter cleaning as required.
Before Using the Thermostats
When air units are on, please keep doors and windows closed so the air units don’t break. If you’d like windows or doors open, turn off the thermostat to prevent the unit from breaking.
Before Using the Toilet
Please do not flush products other than toilet paper down the toilet (not even 'flushable' items).
Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property.
