Locking up

Please keep the house locked and the street-facing garage door closed when you are not nearby. The house is beach facing with a lot of foot and car traffic, and we have stocked it with great gear that we only want to share with you and your group.

There is plenty of free street parking, plus a garage that fits one car. The garage code is the same as the main house code.

Beach toys are in the garage, including a wagon, beach chairs and several beach games. Beach towels are in the hall closet, please use those rather than the bathroom towels.

The washer and dryer are in the garage, and we provide detergent for a few loads. For both machines: turn it on, pick your cycle, press start.

There are two desks, one in the master bedroom, one in the great room. The printer is on the top shelf of the closet in the hall bedroom, and there is a step ladder in the garage if you need a boost.

The printer is plugged in and on the network, so you can send print jobs over WiFi once your device is connected, or use the HP Smart app.

Trash

Place trash in the bins on the side of the house. Trash day is Monday, but we have the can moving covered, a local service puts the cans out on Sunday and brings them back in on Monday. If the cans are already on the street, feel free to add to them.
