FAQ ~
†Can I host an event?
We totally understand the appeal, but we do have a strict no-event policy, enforced by both our front gate security and the HOA. Only guests listed on the reservation are allowed on the property unless approved in advance, and the community does not permit gatherings like weddings or birthday celebrations with additional guests - we appreciate you respecting this so we can keep everything running smoothly for everyone.
†What do guests enjoy most?
Thereâs really no place like St. Malo in the world....it feels like you're in a different country because the architecture is so charming. The house itself has prime position on the Buena Vista lagoon, the lush grass meets the water plus you have ocean views on the front side of the house so its just a very special vacation home. To wake up and sip coffee looking at the ocean, or meditate on in the backyard with amazing views, its the perfect place to relax and recharge.
†Is the area safe and good for families?
Totally. Itâs also great for kids. Our house is in a private, gated community with a full-time guard. The roads are paved, tons of kids (drive slow!). If you have very young children, they must be supervised at all times because the house is lakefront..
†Is it good for remote workers?
We have high-speed internet in every room and there's a ton of quiet areas to get work done should you need to while here on vacation.
