Solar panels for pool heat and a solar blanket as well. Some dog breeds allowed.

Welcome to South Haven! My comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with private pool is just waiting for you. Hurricane Milton - October 2024 - I am so very thankful to not have any structural damage to my home or pool. Two palm trees were blown down as well as the wooden fence surrounding my home. The screened pool enclosure was not damaged. As of October 15th the fence is being rebuilt. I’ll be waiting until the spring to plant needles trees. Once the fence is complete I’ll update the photographs.

Sleeping - King bed, Queen bed, two Twin beds and a pullout sofa in the living room. I also have a pack-n-play for any little one’s.

I do accept dogs, due to insurance rules some breeds are not allowed.

We strive to provide a wonderful spot for you to relax and enjoy the Florida lifestyle which starts with the pool!

Do you plan to spend your days at the local attractions or just relaxing at home? Having a pool in the backyard was something I needed when I bought this home and have never regretted it for one day.

I know booking online can be a challenge and you've looked at loads of places, take a moment and read through my reviews to see what the numerous guests have had to say about our home and the amenties provided.

We first listed this home with VRBO in 2008 and have had a lot of guests stay since that time. We are constantly updating furniture, linens and kitchen supplies to ensure that every guest feels like they made the right choice in choosing South Haven.

Busch Gardens & Adventure Island are roughly 45 min door to door.
Orlando theme parks are usually well under a 2 hours' drive.

No carpet - hardwood floors in all living areas, ceramic tile in the baths, which is great for allergies. I do have some mats near the doors which can be removed on request.

Sliding doors lead to the private screen enclosed swimming pool and extended pool deck in the backyard which has a 6ft privacy fence surrounding the pool area.

Fantastic public golf course open to the public just under 3 miles away in Summerfield called Summerfield Crossing Golf Club in Riverview FL. This is where I live, so I am normally close by should you need anything or have questions about the area.

New State of the Art Movie Theatre just opened in 2017 in Gibsonton.

Home Owners Association - Noise Ordinance.

NoiseAware

I have added a device called NoiseAware that monitors noise around the pool deck area so that quiet times can be honored that are determined by the county.

The device is called NoiseAware and this is from the company’s website.

“So you’ve rented an XXXXXX or VRBO and you’re wondering what that little box on the wall is doing there. That small but amazingly smart sensor is a NoiseAware privacy-safe noise-detection device. It’s designed for an important purpose: to detect excessive noise and gently caution guests to take it down a notch before you get in trouble. It does not have the ability to identify individual sounds (sneezes, shouts, flushing toilets, crying babies, your best Johnny Cash impression). It simply measures decibel levels over time.

The sensor does not have a camera or recording function of any kind. It measures noise level only, and, when that noise exceeds the threshold allowed by the host and/or local ordinances for a sustained period of time, it triggers a notification.

Sometimes the notification is set up to go to the host. It can also be set up to message the guest directly.”

If guests cause a disturbance which requires being notified multiple times that they’ve exceeded the decibel limit, the reservation will be cancelled and you will be requested to vacate the home immediately. The HOA has a $100 fine per day for a violation and any fines will be required to be paid for by the guests.
Unfortunately as the number of folks using travel sites increases the number of people taking advantage has increased.
