Good to Know

Heads Up: As a beachfront home, expect some sand, salt, and occasional coastal insects (mosquitoes & sand gnats at sunset). We clean thoroughly between stays — a little coastal life comes with the territory!

No Smoking: Absolutely no smoking of any kind anywhere on the property — including marijuana.

Quiet Hours: Feel free to enjoy yourselves, but no loud parties please. Be mindful of neighbors.

Thermostat: We use a smart ecobee thermostat. Please keep AC at 72°F or above, heat at 72°F or below. To hold a temp: tap the display → adjust → tap again → select hold duration.

Check-out Checklist

Bedding

Leave everything on the bed — messy is good!

Towels

Start the washer. If time permits, starting the dryer too is a huge help!

Dishes & Trash

Start a load of dishes and put all trash in the outdoor bin.

Thermostat

Turn off all lights and set AC back to Heat 65°F / AC 78°F.

Doors & Windows

Ensure all are closed and locked — seagulls don't make good roommates!

Final Step

Take one last deep breath of ocean air and hold onto those beach memories until next time!

Thank You!
