property

Air Conditioning

Maximum efficiency is 74 degrees and your units should never be set below 70 degrees at any point in time. All doors and windows must remain closed while units are in use. Units are designed to allow a 15 degree differential from outside temperature and not abiding by this could cause them to freeze disrupting your comfort and vacation.

Refrigerators

Setting should remain on medium after arrival. Please allow adequate time for the refrigerator to cool newly placed food and beverages (up to 24 hrs).

Cleaning and Maintenance

To avoid being held liable, all cleaning comments and or maintenance concerns that have been discovered must be reported within 24 hours of arrival. Please utilize the appropriate tab under guest information for this communication. We will do our best to resolve any concerns in a timely manner. A maintenance form can be provided at our office in lieu of reporting on our website.

Grills

Please check your grill before use. Make sure the grates are clean, drip pans are empty and it is not greasy inside. If it is not clean, call our office and we will send someone to clean it. Also, check your propane tank. If your tank is empty, bring the empty tank to our office, as we have replacement tanks for your use.
