House Guide

The details guests ask for most

Tap any card for quick guidance on how things work around the home.

Kitchen

The kitchen is stocked for everyday cooking with pots, pans, sharp knives, mixing bowls, sheet trays, oil, salt, and pepper. Please avoid metal utensils on nonstick pans to keep everything in great condition.

Coffee Maker

You’ll find both a drip machine and a pod option. We try to keep coffee filters stock but you'll need to supply your own coffee.

Dishwasher

Dishwasher pods are stored under the sink. Please rinse heavily soiled items before putting in the dishwasher. Note, we do not have a garbage disposal so please discard of food scraps in the trash.

Washer / Dryer

Laundry is available for guest use with a small starter supply of detergent. The dryer can be a bit slow so I would avoid big loads or drying a lot of towels at once.

TVs

TVs are ready for streaming with your own streaming logins. They are in guest mode so it will ask for your check-out date and automatically log you out on that day.

Thermostat

The thermostat is in the upstairs hallway. It tends to be cooler in the bedrooms and living areas than the thermostat says.

Beach Equipment

We keep some beach gear in the garage that you're welcome to use (chairs, umbrellas, cooler, beach wagon, toys). We just ask that you clean them off after use. We have a hose, broom and leaf blower in the garage to make clean up easy!

Trash

Bagged trash should be taken out to the dumpster on 70th street. If you go out the front door, make a right and then a left and you should see the dumpter.

House Rules

Please keep quiet hours after 10:00 PM, respect the neighbors, and avoid parties or unregistered guests. The home is smoke-free, and sandy or wet items should stay near the entry until dry.

Rick’s Market is the closest and easiest stop for quick basics, beach snacks, and last-minute items. If you need a larger stock up, ACME is the better pick for a full grocery run.

Things To Do

For time on the water, 48th Street Water Sports is a great pick for kayak and paddleboard rentals. If you want something easy at night or with kids, Old Pro Golf on 68th Street is the classic mini golf stop.
