Our house is in a great location, within walking distance of restaurants, beaches, the MLK community pool, bars, The Southernmost Point, Hemingway House and just one block from the famous Duval Street. The bus stop is one block up where a free shuttle takes people around town and there is also a regular bus service. Our house has one bedroom with a queen bed and a small loft with a queen blow up mattress., you can't stand in the loft, it's mainly for overnight guests that can make it up narrow stairs, (think boat). We have 2 bathrooms one with a bathtub, laundry room with washing machine and dryer, an office if you need to work remotely, small dip pool and front porch which is great for enjoying a nice evening breeze and cocktail. The house is small, approx 830 square feet but well equipped and perfect for 2 people. Must be non smokers and slobs please don't apply. There is no backyard. We live on a corner and there is usually plenty of places to park on one of the streets which is free.

Bella is 12 years old. She is fed twice a day and gets 2 Benadryl pills placed on top of her dry food each meal, she also gets 1/2 Prednisone tablet placed on top of her dry food in the mornings of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Because of her age and joints she gets 2 chewy snacks both morning and night. She loves to go for walks and we take her twice a day but she can go more. She is deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other but she can still hear you. She loves snuggles on the rug and belly rubs. She sleeps in the kitchen and we have a doggy gate which is closed when we are not home. She is fine being left for 8 hours but loves company. She is not allowed on the furniture or the bed. She is a trash eater so you have to watch her when walking for food, paper towels etc on the ground. Don't leave books or food laying around. She also eats iguanas if she catches them in the yard. She doesn't act like a 12 year and gets very excited when you get home.
