INSECTS, CRITTERS & BEARS: Being on the edge of Point Washington State Forest and 1/4 mile from Choctawhatchee Bay, there is an abundance of wildlife in the area. You'll likely catch a glimpse of raccoons, possum and turtles from dusk to dawn. We have yet to see a snake on the property, but it is Florida so please be aware when walking outside. Deer are also common at all hours and they're used to having humans around so they're not that skittish. Florida is famous for it's bug population and South Walton County is no exception. While we do everything we can to mitigate and prevent bugs, including regular interior and exterior pest control, there's a good chance you'll encounter some species during your stay. There have been black bear sightings around Dune Allen and Grayton Village, but very few in Point Washington. If you encounter a bear, they're likely looking for food. Please follow bear safety procedures and do not leave food or trash outside. SAFETY: Per Florida law, the rear door is equipped with a pool alarm/chime which will sound when the door is opened from inside/outside. If you're not traveling with children and would like to disable the chime, there is a small white switch on the plate attached to the door. Anyone under 18 must be supervised by an adult while using the pool. Fire extinguisher is located under the kitchen sink. It's rated UL rated 1-A: 10-B:C, for wood, paper, trash, plastics, gasoline, oil, and electrical equipment fires.
