Kitchen Guide
Keurig K-Duo Coffee Maker
The K-Duo brews both single K-Cup pods and a full 12-cup carafe — choose your mode below.
Brewing a Single Cup
Lift the single-serve lid on the right side of the machine (the K-Cup pod holder).
Insert a K-Cup pod — pods are stored in the cabinet directly above the coffee maker. Press the lid down firmly until it clicks.
Place your mug on the drip tray beneath the single-serve spout (right side).
Press the Single-Serve button (the cup icon on the right side of the control panel).
Select your brew size: 6 oz (strong), 8 oz (regular), 10 oz, or 12 oz. The larger the size, the lighter the brew.
Press the brew button. The machine will heat and begin brewing in about 60 seconds.
When brewing is complete, lift the lid and remove the used K-Cup pod. Dispose of it in the trash.
Which side is which?
Left side = Carafe mode (flat brew basket, glass carafe, carafe water reservoir).
Right side = Single-serve mode (K-Cup pod holder, single-serve spout, mug drip tray).
Each side has its own brew button on the control panel — make sure you press the correct one for your mode.
Tips & Notes
K-Cup Pods Location
A variety of K-Cup pods are stocked in the cabinet directly above the coffee maker. Help yourself to any pod during your stay.
Ground Coffee
Pre-ground coffee for the carafe is also available in the same cabinet. If you prefer a specific roast, the nearest Publix is about 5 minutes away.
Brew Strength
For single-serve, choose a smaller cup size (6–8 oz) for stronger coffee. For carafe, use the Bold setting and slightly more grounds.
Cleaning the Carafe
Rinse the glass carafe and brew basket with warm water after each use. The carafe is dishwasher-safe — the dishwasher is stocked with pods under the kitchen sink.
Auto-Off
The machine automatically powers off after 2 hours of inactivity. To turn it back on, press any brew button.
Descale Light
If the Descale light illuminates, please message us through your booking app — we will take care of it.
Important — Please Read Before Cooking
Induction Cooktop Guide
This is an induction cooktop — it only works with magnetic cookware. If your pan does not stick to a magnet, it will not heat. All pans provided in the home are induction-compatible.
Quick Compatibility Test
Hold any pan to the magnet on the refrigerator door. If it sticks firmly, the pan works on induction. If it does not stick, use a different pan from the cabinet.
How to Use the Cooktop
Place your induction-compatible pan on the desired burner zone.
Press and hold the Power button (⏻) for 2 seconds until the display lights up.
Touch the zone indicator on the display that matches the burner you are using.
Use the + and − buttons to set your power level (1–9, or Boost for maximum).
Begin cooking — the surface heats the pan directly, not the glass. The glass itself stays relatively cool.
To adjust heat, press your zone and use + / − at any time.
When finished, press the Power button to turn off. The display will show 'H' if the surface is still warm — do not touch until it clears.
Power Level Reference
Keep warm, melt butter, simmer delicate sauces
Low simmer, slow cooking, warming soups
Medium heat — eggs, pancakes, sautéing vegetables
Medium-high — stir fry, searing, browning meat
High heat — boiling water, rapid heating
Maximum power — fastest boil, use briefly then reduce
Safety Tips
Hot surface warning: The glass stays cooler than a gas flame, but residual heat from the pan can still warm it. The "H" indicator on the display means it is still hot — do not touch.
No empty pans: Do not turn on a zone without a pan on it — this can damage the cooktop surface.
Keep it clean: Wipe the glass surface after each use with a damp cloth once it has cooled. Do not use abrasive scrubbers.
Boost mode: Use Boost only briefly for rapid boiling — reduce to a lower setting once boiling begins to avoid boil-overs.
Your Private Oasis
Pool & Spa Guide
Heated pool with spillover spa
The expansive, screened lanai features a heated rectangular pool and a soothing attached spillover spa, perfect for year-round relaxation. The pool is typically maintained at approximately 82°F during cooler months for guest comfort. Pool heat is available upon request for an additional $35/day with at least 48 hours' notice. The spillover spa shares the same water and heating system as the pool and is designed as a relaxing spa feature — it does not reach traditional standalone hot tub temperatures. During the warmer summer months, pool heat may be turned off as the water is naturally warm. Pool hours are 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with a maximum capacity of six persons.
Want the pool heated for your stay?
Pool heat is available for $35/day and must be requested at least 48 hours before check-in. Message us through your booking platform to arrange.
Heating Instructions
Verify the 45-amp pool heater breaker is in the ON position.
Use the pool control panel to manage settings.
Press the MODE button to alternate between Pool and Spa settings.
Adjust the temperature using the UP and DOWN arrows.
Target temperature: Pool is typically set to ~82°F during cooler months. Note: The spillover spa shares the same heating system as the pool — it is not a standalone hot tub and will not reach traditional hot tub temperatures.
Allow 24–48 hours for the pool to reach desired temperature, depending on weather.
Pool Towels
Plush pool towels are stacked on the gray wicker outdoor shelving unit just outside the sliding glass doors, adjacent to the pool gate.
Pool Toys & Floats
An assortment of floats, noodles, and life vests are stored in the black storage bench on the pool deck. Please return items after use.
Outdoor Grilling
An Expert Grill 4-burner propane gas grill is available on the lanai. Always open the lid before igniting. Turn the propane tank valve counterclockwise, set the burner to HIGH, and press the igniter. Preheat for 10–15 minutes. When finished, turn all burners to OFF and securely close the propane valve. Please clean the grates after each use.

Entertainment & Controls
Smart Home & Entertainment
All theater remotes are in the blue basket inside the TV credenza in the movie theater room.
Using the Theater Projector
All remotes are stored in the blue basket inside the TV credenza in the theater room.
First, lower the movie screen: use the wall controller in the top-right corner of the theater room. Press the DOWN arrow to lower the screen — be sure to press the STOP button when the screen reaches the top of the credenza.
Power on the projector: use the remote labeled 'ONLY POWER ON/OFF MOVIE THEATER ROOM.' Press the Power button once. The Epson projector will warm up — allow 60 seconds for the image to appear.
Power on the Onkyo AV receiver: use the remote labeled 'VOLUME CONTROL.' Press the Power button. The receiver powers the surround sound system.
Select the correct input on the Onkyo receiver: press the INPUT button and select 'HDMI 1' for the Roku streaming stick.
Use the Roku remote (also in the blue basket) to navigate streaming apps and content.
Adjust volume using the Onkyo 'VOLUME CONTROL' remote — use the + / − volume buttons.
When finished: power off the projector first (press Power on the Epson remote), then power off the Onkyo receiver. Raise the screen using the wall controller (UP arrow) — be sure to press the STOP button when the screen reaches the top of the credenza.
Remote Order Matters
Always power on the projector before the receiver, and power off the projector first when done. This protects the bulb and electronics.
Warm-Up Time
The Epson projector takes about 60 seconds to display an image after powering on. This is normal — do not press Power again.
Screen Position
Always fully lower the screen before starting a movie. Projecting onto a partially lowered screen can distort the image.
Which remote does what?
Epson remote (labeled "ONLY POWER ON/OFF MOVIE THEATER ROOM") — turns projector on/off only.
Onkyo remote (labeled "VOLUME CONTROL") — powers the receiver and controls volume.
Roku remote — navigates streaming apps and content.
Wall controller (top-right corner of theater room) — raises and lowers the movie screen.

Lowering the Lift (Launching)
Check the waiver
Confirm all operators have signed the liability waiver before proceeding.
Check conditions
Review the Canal Conditions widget above. Do not launch in winds above 20 mph or during active thunderstorms.
Locate the control box
The yellow waterproof control box is mounted on the dock post near the lift. Ensure the power switch is ON.
Press and hold DOWN
Press and hold the "DOWN" button on the control box. The lift cradle will slowly lower into the water. Release when the boat floats freely off the bunks.
Guide the boat off
Gently guide your vessel off the cradle using dock lines. Keep hands and feet clear of the lift cables and cradle arms at all times.
Raise the empty lift
Once the boat is clear, press and hold "UP" to raise the empty cradle above the waterline. This prevents marine growth and protects the lift.
Raising the Lift (Docking)
Approach slowly
Enter the canal at idle speed. Approach the dock from the open water side, keeping the bow pointed into any current.
Lower the cradle
Press and hold "DOWN" to lower the cradle fully below the waterline before positioning the boat.
Center the boat
Motor slowly over the cradle, aligning the hull with the bunk boards. The boat should be centered side-to-side and bow-to-stern.
Raise the lift
With the boat centered, press and hold "UP." The cradle will rise and lift the boat out of the water. Continue until the hull is fully clear of the waterline.
Secure with straps
Once raised, attach the bow and stern safety straps to prevent any movement. These are stored in the dock box.
Power off
Turn the control box power switch to OFF when finished. Do not leave the lift running unattended.
