Q: What should I know about the air condition, ice and freezer storage?

Please do not lower the air conditioner below 72 degrees as it can freeze up as a result of our warm weather on the ocean which can easily become damaged with both the warm ocean air and salt. If you have any problems with the A/C please notify our caretaker. There is a 300 lb ice machine and large freezer in our shed. Please understand that this ice machine and large freezer is meant for two families. If you're planning a large fishing or boat trip we recommend you bring extra bags of ice.

Q: Can we rent boats and wave runners and/or bring our own?

Yes, we can help you get a boat and/or a wave runner and have it brought to our dock. Please note that we are not responsible for the boat nor the WaveRunners.

The tide can change in a minute so PLEASE watch the weather reports. Each house is allowed one boat. We would recommend you launching your boat and waverunners at Sugarloaf Lodge which is 5 miles from our house and approximately 10 miles by boat. If you have a large boat and can’t go through 2 ft channels, our caretaker can assist you in getting through and direct you to the house.

We do have housekeepers that can come every other day should you decide to use them. This service is available for $25 per hour. Our housekeepers do a complete cleaning after each guest leaves.
