WiFi
- Please check your Welcome email for the WiFi network and password.
- If the internet is not working, double-check that you are on the correct network.
- If you still cannot connect, unplug the router for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
- Still having issues? Give us a call for some additional support.
Refrigerator
- It can take 24 to 48 hours for the refrigerator to cool all the food and other items stored inside. This is usually the case when it goes from being completely empty to being filled with a full load of groceries. This is also especially true if you add room-temperature liquid goods, like sodas and beer.
- To help speed up the process, try putting your water bottles and freezer-friendly food into the freezer. Store them inside for 20 to 30 minutes to chill them. Then, transfer them back to the refrigerator.
Dishwasher
- Use dishwasher pods or liquid detergent in the dishwasher only. DO NOT use regular dishwashing soap in the dishwasher.
Laundry
- The washer and dryer are located in the laundry closet, downstairs in outdoor lounge area.
- Do not wash our white linens and towels with your wash.
- Do not stuff and overload the washing machine when using it. It may break the machine (and it doesn’t clean as well when it is too crowded to allow full movement).
- Do not add laundry that is soiled with solids and/or large particles.
- Only use laundry detergent intended for washing machines.
- Clean out the dryer lint tray and discard all lint into the trash.
Heat & Air Conditioning
- You may adjust the thermostat(s) between 67 – 79 degrees during your stay. Please remember to reset these thermostats to the default temperatures based on the season you visit.
- The default temperatures are 76 degrees on Cool setting from April through October and 69 degrees on Heat setting from November through March.
- You must keep all windows and exterior doors closed at all times to keep the bugs out, house cool, and control the interior humidity levels. Due to our area’s high humidity and your constant use of air conditioning inside the home, leaving the doors and windows open will cause the HVAC system to freeze over AND cause water damage to the walls, ceilings, and electronic door locks with condensation build-up. As such, the HVAC system will automatically turn off if the windows/doors are left open.
Grill
- The charcoal grill is located outside on the left side under the house.
- Clean off the grill after use to keep the backyard AND home free of pests, like cockroaches and rodents.
Fireplace
- The fireplace located in the living room is non-operational. Please do not attempt to use it.
