Agree on the kind of celebrationDecide whether you want a shared meal, swimming time or an unhurried evening. A reservation for two still books the entire home. Choose dates that work for both people, then review the complete price and cancellation terms rather than assuming anniversary packages or extras are included.
Ask before arranging surprisesCheck proposed decorations, deliveries or outside services with the host before ordering them. Do not assume setup, catering or special amenities are provided. Keep surprises compatible with property rules and the approved guest list. An overnight reservation does not authorize an event.
Make dinner simplePrepare an easy meal using confirmed kitchen equipment or check your own dining options. Leave time after check-in to settle in. Pack personal ingredients and items you need. Keep glass outside the pool area and avoid decorations that could enter the water.
Protect downtime and the last morningSwimming and sauna use are optional, so leave time to rest. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM. Prepare belongings the evening before departure so checkout at 10 AM is comfortable. Ask about essential individual access needs before booking.
Keep the occasion personal and the requests explicitChoose one element that matters to you, such as a meal you prepare together or uninterrupted time at the pool. If you want decorations, a delivery or a special arrangement, describe it to the host before committing to it. Do not assume an anniversary package is provided. Keep any approved setup simple enough to remove according to the checkout instructions.
