The $50 administrative fee must be paid by the owner or agency in advance of your arrival. It is not up to the renter to pay. Guests: Please stop by the office to fill out the Guest Registration Form and receive a parking permit during the same hours. Beaches Bay Tree Club Beach The beach is located behind A building. It is a public beach, but there are no lifeguards. Walking on the Beach: You can walk north to Point of Rocks (about 1 mile) or walk south of Turtle Beach to Casey Key. Walking on our beach is not as easy as the Siesta Key public beach as you tend to sink slightly more into the sand on our end. On windy days: Sunbathe in the chairs at the end of the cabanas. There is usually much less wind than on the beach. Siesta Key Public Beach Several miles further north is the Siesta Key Public Beach where there is a playground for the kids, miles of easy walking on the beach, lifeguards for swimming, a snack bar, umbrellas and chairs for rent. On Sunday evening is the Drum Circle at sunset which is fun for everyone, children included. Turtle Public Beach Just south of Bay Tree is Turtle Beach, another public beach but without all the amenities of Siesta Key Public Beach. There is a boat and kayak launch there. There are boat and kayak rental companies on Siesta Key who will meet you at Turtle Beach with the rental equipment. (See Rentals below.). Bike Racks

Because of the fire code the stairwells, walkways and laundry rooms must be kept free of any obstruction.

Please be sure to turn off the grill and close the gas tank when finished. Out of respect for the next user, please scrape the grill to clean it. The maintenance and cleaning people should give it a thorough clean at least once a week and make sure the gas canister is full. Please contact the office is there is a problem with the grills or they need gas. Please double bag any smelly garbage as garbage only gets emptied twice a week at the grilling areas.

Please be sure to set a timer in your apartment to make sure you remove your clothes when finished as 7 other units share the machines.

Please use a HE (high- efficiency) detergent in the machines. You will find that it cleans better and also is easier on our pipes!
