FAQ

Everything worth knowing before you stay.

Clear answers, no fine-print games. If a policy is still being finalized, we say so.

What does the stay estimate include?

The Estimate Your Stay calculator shows estimated rent, the current 11% transient-tax planning assumption and the current Association transfer fee for the selected stay. It supports flexible start dates within the season. Final availability and the final quote are confirmed personally.

How long is the minimum stay?

Gaudete Homes currently offers seasonal stays with a 3-month minimum. Terrace VI permits leases of 30 days or more; our commercial policy is stricter. Only the entire residence may be leased, and tenant subleasing or assignment is not permitted.

Is Association approval required?

Yes. Leases are subject to the applicable community and Association process. Current documents require an executed lease and transfer/application paperwork, and the Association may conduct screening and may require a separate security deposit as a condition of approval. Gaudete Homes guides confirmed guests through the process.

When should community registration begin?

Because current community materials contain different submission references, Gaudete Homes uses the more conservative planning approach and recommends beginning at least 30 days before arrival. We will confirm the applicable steps for your stay.

Is pickleball included?

Yes. Pickleball is part of the social amenity offering associated with this residence. Guest-specific access instructions are provided before arrival.

What other amenities are included?

The social amenity offering for this residence includes tennis, pool, fitness, spa, clubhouse and bocce, in addition to pickleball. Access procedures may vary and are provided to confirmed guests.

Is golf included?

No. Golf access is not included with the Ave Maria Residence. We keep this intentionally clear so there are no surprises.

Can I bring a pet?

No. Terrace VI’s recorded Declaration states that tenants may not keep pets of any kind. Gaudete Homes therefore maintains a no-pets policy, subject to applicable law.

What about parking?

The recorded Declaration assigns each unit the exclusive use of one covered parking space. Vehicle registration and any additional or guest-parking procedures applicable to your stay will be included in your pre-arrival guidance.

How many guests can the residence accommodate?

The residence accommodates a maximum of 4 guests. The recorded Declaration limits occupancy to two persons per bedroom, and the residence has two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a King bed and the second bedroom has a Double bed.

Are barbecue grills allowed?

No. Terrace VI’s recorded Declaration prohibits barbecue grills on the condominium property.

What are check-in and checkout times?

Check-in begins at 3:00 PM and checkout is by 10:00 AM.

Can I have visitors?

Community and house visitor guidelines apply. Please contact Gaudete Homes if you have a specific visitor plan so we can confirm the applicable rules before your stay.

Is Wi-Fi included?

Yes. High-speed Wi-Fi is included. Network and password details are provided privately to confirmed guests and are never published on the public website.

Can I work remotely?

Yes. The residence is set up for comfortable longer stays and includes high-speed Wi-Fi. Actual internet performance can vary by network conditions and device.

Where exactly is the residence?

The residence is located within The National in Ave Maria, Florida. Confirmed guests receive the exact address, directions and arrival information before their stay.
