Other things to note
Our home is a restored 100-year-old Florida cracker cottage, and maintaining its original character is important to us. Because of this, some areas of the house have lower ceiling heights than modern homes.

What to expect:
• Main living area: Standard 8-foot ceilings
• Lower-ceiling areas: Bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room
• Guests 6 feet tall or above may need to mind their head when moving through the far end of the house and these specific rooms.

We welcome guests of all heights and want you to be comfortable—we simply want to ensure you’re aware of the unique layout before arrival.
