POLICIES:
NO PETS. NO SMOKING.

NOTE: Elevator* is available for guest use for convenience and ONLY available with prior approval and payment of fee. $149 FEE is required, which must be paid before your check-in. This fee is non refundable.

*This home is not wheelchair accessible and should not be relied on for those with mobility issues. If the elevator unexpectedly becomes inoperable, we cannot guarantee third party service repair times and stairs will be required. (Please note that elevator operation is currently subject to the ability to address necessary repairs and complete servicing in the aftermath of the hurricanes, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to restore full functionality.)

Guest Requirements:
Registered guests must be at least 25 years of age, provide a copy of a valid ID, and be present throughout the entire stay.

Occupancy Limits:
The standard occupancy is two persons per standard bedroom. For additional occupants beyond this limit, a fee of $25 per person, per night, will be charged, up to the maximum allowable occupancy, if applicable.

Quiet Hours:
Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. As this property is located in a residential area, we ask that you respect our neighbors by maintaining a reasonable noise level both during the day and at night. Excessive or unreasonable noise may disrupt the peaceful enjoyment of the neighborhood and is not permitted.

Reservation Policies:
Reservations are typically for 7-night stays, Saturday to Saturday. However, we offer flexible stays with varying minimum night requirements and non-Saturday check-ins and check-outs during most of the year, except for holidays and peak weeks. Please inquire before booking to confirm availability, as changes cannot always be accommodated after booking.

Cleaning and Safety:
All homes, including linens and towels, are cleaned, sanitized, and inspected between guest stays according to industry standards. A starter set of basic amenities, linens, towels, and bedding is provided upon check-in, based on home occupancy. Daily housekeeping and linen services are not included but are available upon request for an additional fee. For stays of 28 days or longer, a mid-stay clean is required and must be scheduled and paid for by the guest.

This home participates in our Professional Linen Program, ensuring high-quality linens and towels are professionally laundered at a commercial facility between each guest's stay. Please note that extra sets are not stored in the home.

Golf Cart Rentals:
Explore the island with ease! After booking, reserve a golf cart through our sister company, Once Upon A Beach Carts, and enjoy an exclusive discount available only to our vacation rental guests.

Baby Equipment Rentals:
Baby equipment is not provided at the home for safety and sanitation purposes. However, we partner with local companies that offer rental services for baby items, including convenient pick-up and drop-off options. Details will be provided at the time of booking, or you may inquire directly for more information.

Pool and Spa (if any):
The pool is heated year-round at no extra charge for guest convenience, with temperatures maintained between 82-85°F to ensure proper chemical balance and cleanliness. Pool heaters and filters do not operate during quiet hours (10:00 PM to 8:00 AM) per local noise ordinances. Please note that cooler ambient temperatures, especially with a 20°F or greater difference between air and water temperatures, may impact the pool heater’s effectiveness.

The spa, when available, is a section of the pool that can provide relaxation, bubbles, and water temperatures in the high 90s to low 100s. However, it is not designed to function as a commercial hot tub and is not permitted to operate 24/7. Spas may be unavailable during summer months (June–September) to prevent overheating of the pool water, which could compromise chemical balances. Guests are prohibited from adjusting pool equipment; failure to comply may result in fines or liability for damages.

Guests are required to read and follow all posted rules, safety information, and operating instructions.

Property Security and Safety:
This home may be equipped with exterior cameras, such as Ring or Nest, positioned to monitor the front door, driveways, pool equipment, and entry/exit areas of the backyard. These cameras are installed solely to enhance property security, monitor deliveries, and ensure occupancy limits are met. Cameras are not angled toward areas where privacy is expected or assumed.

PAYMENTS:
  • 50% of total amount due must be made at time of reservation request to confirm reservation.
  • 50% of total amount due must be paid on or before 60 days prior to check-in date.

Great House! Great Location!
Sea La Vie is a great house!! Very open and airy. The pool was awesome! The location was very convenient to restaurants and shops. House has all you need for your vacation! Only complaint I have is the bed in master bedroom needs a new mattress. Otherwise, everything was perfect!! We hope to come back next year!!

Our favorite place!
This house is the perfect place to enjoy the perfect island! We have been coming to AMI for several years and this house was our favorite! The spacious open layout was such a comfortable place to call home and the location was centrally located which made exploring so easy! We rented a golf cart from Once upon a beach as well and they dropped it off right when we checked in which couldn't have been easier! Of course I can't skip the pool area that is literally the BEST place to chill! We ate lunch everyday in the pool and dinner on the deck. Can't wait to go back!

This is the best place
We have vacationing at AMI for years. This is the best house for friends and family to visit. The agent was very prompt and the house was spotless. We will be booking again for next year. Highly recommend!!

Sea La Vie Beach House
Sea La Vie is a top tier vacation rental. There isn't anything you'll need that's not available. It is beautifully decorated with a comfortable beach theme while certainly not overdone. It was as clean as can be and the furnishings, including linens, kitchen appliances, cookware, etc. were high quality. You will love the pool/spa area, It is a privilege to recommend this home.

Sea La Vie Beach House
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea La Vie. The home is located in a great spot on Anna Maria Island, with easy access to both the bay and gulf side, as well as proximity to shops on Pine Avenue. The floor plan is spacious and functional, and served our family of 6 well. The pool was a highlight, as was the dock on the canal. This house ranks as one of our all-time favorites. The entire booking process with Once Upon a Beach is user-friendly, smooth and responsive.

Is there a Keurig in the house?

Patrick H - Posted: 02/08/2024

Answer:

At Once Upon a Beach, we ensure our guests have everything they need for a comfortable and convenient stay. That’s why each of our homes is equipped with both a 12-cup coffee pot and Keurig machines. The 12-cup coffee pots are perfect for brewing large amounts of coffee, ideal for groups or families enjoying a leisurely morning together. On the other hand, the Keurig machines offer a quick and easy option for those who prefer a single cup of their favorite brew. This dual setup caters to different preferences, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their preferred coffee experience during their stay.
