Description from owner

Description

Bedrooms: This house has 3 bedrooms, not 4. TripAdvisor has not responded to our multiple attempts to update this. Two bedrooms have queen beds and the third has a trundle bed with two twins.

Occupancy: No more than 6 adults (or 8 people total with children) staying in the house will be allowed.

Linens & towels: Tenants must PROVIDE LINENS FOR THE BEDS AND BATHROOM TOWELS. We provide quilts, blankets, and pillows.

Supplies: Starter toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc. are left for guests to tide them over until they get to the grocery store. On exiting, please leave a bit of each for the next guest.

Checkout: Checkout is at 11am, when our cleaning crew arrives. Run the dishwasher and leave one set of keys in the lockbox.

Sand: We love the beach, but sand in the house is our worst enemy. We try to keep it out of the house, including sinks and showers, as much as possible. Please use the outside hose to clean up after the beach.

TV: Remote controls work best if you use the POWER button for individual devices (e.g., TV, CBL) rather than the System ON/OFF button.
