Arrival
A smooth start to your stay
Save this section for the day you arrive so key details are easy to access from your phone.
Parking
When you arrive, please park first and enter through the front door using your code. The unit includes a 1-car attached garage and a small driveway in front of it. The driveway is too tight for a pickup or large SUV, but it works well for most other vehicles. There are also several parking spots immediately in front of and behind the unit, plus free street parking along 69th Street and 70th Street.
Smart Lock
Enter the 4-digit code sent before arrival and the front door should unlock automatically. Once inside, you will find the garage door opener on the dining table. When leaving, press the lock icon once to lock the door behind you.

House Guide
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 stocked 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.
Sleeping Arrangements
The bedrooms are located upstairs, and there is a pull-out queen sofa in the living room. In the closet of the first bedroom at the top of the stairs, you will find sheets and pillows for the pull-out as well as for the trundle. If you have a little one, we keep a pack-n-play in the master closet.
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. When you first turn it on 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. We find setting at 76 keeps everything comfortable.
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 dumpster.
House Rules
Please keep quiet hours after 10:00 PM, respect the neighbors, and no parties or unregistered guests. No pets or smoking.

Grocery Stores
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 an awesome mini golf stop.
Best Outdoors
Beaches
Beach access is just an easy walk down 70th street. If you're up for a drive and more of an adventure, Assateague Island National Seashore is definitely worth a visit.
FAQ
Can we request early check-in?
If the cleaning schedule allows it, we’re happy to offer early access. Reach out the day before arrival and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

The layout works well for families. We have a pack-n-play and high chair in the master bedroom closet. If you use these, please return where you found them.

Guests can expect a thoughtful starter supply of toiletries, paper goods, dish soap, and laundry essentials to make the first few days easy.
