FAQ:
WHERE IS HOUSE AND HOW DO I GET IN ? Once the last payment has been made, usually scheduled three weeks before arrival date, you will be sent address, unique entry code for your week, and other pertinent information on house. There is a 90 day 100% refund.
HOW FAR ARE YOU FROM BEACH? As far as the location of house to beach, please see posted pictures and captions. One picture was taken from house showing ocean access between a yellow and a gray ocean front houses. The second picture shows a close up of access showing same houses. I hope that made sense. Its about a football field walk to beach and a football and half to Sound.
WHEN IS CHECK IN CAN I GET AN EARLY CHECK IN OR LATE CHECK OUT? During summer season it is almost impossible to get an early check in/check out. We stay booked Saturday to Saturday and our cleaners have a very small window between 10 am and 4PM to clean and prepare multiple houses. If renting in off season, contact me and we can review. We do ask that you help our cleaning staff and leave house and neat and clean as possible
ARE LINENS AND TOWELS PROVIDED? You have the option of bringing your on linens or we can provide for a $75 service fee. This included all sheets, pillow cases and bath towels and washcloths. Comforters, pillows, blankets are provided regardless
WHEN DOES POOL OPEN AND IS IT HEATED? Pool normally opens up the middle of April and closes the middle of October. It is not heated and depending on weather and tolerance can be used in those months.
CAN I BRING MY PET? Although I am a pet lover and have dogs myself, due to the short turn over time on Saturday mornings, there is no time for extra cleaning for any pet issues. If you are renting on off season, contact me and we can discuss possibility of allowing pets. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions.

Summary: The house and pool are grand. Unfortunately, we only got to enjoy them for three days, thanks to Erin. I guess we better have hurricane insurance next time!
