DO NOT flush feminine products, flushable wipes, diapers, cotton balls, dreams, toys, or goldfish. Extra toilet paper is in vanities and in drawers beside the toilet on the 3rd floor.

🛀 Garden Tub: Enjoy the garden tub, lights, and bubbler. We don't recommend bubble bath. Note: the tub has a built-in cleaning cycle that runs 20 minutes after the tub drains. Chances are, it will startle you when it turns on!

🚮 Trash: There are extra kitchen trash bags in the kitchen under the sink. BAG all trash and put it outside in the cans on the concrete by the air conditioner. Ensure the lid is closed.

🔥 Indoor Fireplaces: Fireplaces are off from April 1 - September 30 and may not be used. Use should be limited to 30 minutes per use and not used for heating, or you may find the carbon monoxide detectors interrupting your peaceful stay.

🪔 Firepit: Roasting forks, wood, and fire starter materials can be found in the box by the fire pit. Ensure your fire does not pose a wildfire risk. Please cover the fire pit when it cools, and keep the wood box closed & latched securely.

♨️ Hot Tub: No glassware, footwear, jumping or urinating in the Hot Tub. 5 person maximum. No unsupervised minors. Plastic wine glasses and drinkware have been provided for your use in and around the hot tub. $3,500 fee for broken glass, $400 fee for damaged cover. Keep the floating sanitizer in the tub and do not tamper with it. Ensure the cover is on and locked when not in use.

⛱️ Umbrella: Keep the umbrellas closed and Velcro tied when not in use to prevent damage.

💡 String Lights: Come sunset, these lights come on and off automatically. If they don’t, the outlet may have tripped. Easy fix. Take steps down to the dock, before you step onto the walkway, there is an outlet on your right. Open the cover and press the Reset button. If they don’t come on, press the black button on the controller, but DO NOT hold the button.

💡 Motion Lights: There are motion lights on each corner of the house that you can turn on/off. The switch is located on the 3rd floor balcony wall just to the right of the door.

🌭 Grill and Griddle: Feel free to use the grill and griddle; there are utensils for both under each. The griddle is cast iron and requires some special care and seasoning; if you are not familiar with taking care of a cast iron griddle, please do not use it. Grease from the griddle can be soaked up with paper towels and put into the trash. Or, if you are going to have a fire, put it in the firepit.

🍕 Pizza Oven: There is a hose and quick connect fitting if you would like to hook up the pizza oven instead of the griddle or grill. There is a pizza peel, cutter, and spatula stored in the cabinet to the left of the stove.
