Owner’s Closets

·         Outside are golf clubs, a wagon, beach toys, boogie boards, coolers, a Cool Cabana, pickle ball, etc for you to use.

·         Here are instructions for how to set up the CoolCabana. You should be able to push the wagon back into the outdoor closet and leave it loaded each night.

HVAC

·         The HVAC is controlled by a company called VillaControl along with the front door lock. On your check in and check out dates, the HVAC will be set automatically.

·         You can turn the AC down to 71* but the default temperature is 74*.

·         If you leave the back screen door open for longer than 2 minutes, the HVAC will turn off completely and you will have to reactivate the AC by turning it back to Cool on the thermostat.

·         Feel free to open or close vents in the rooms if they are too hot or too cold. Especially the front bedroom. 

Linens:

·         There are plenty of linens in the unit. Beach towels are in a basket by the backdoor and the bench.

·         Bathroom towels should be in the drawers or under the sinks

·         Kitchen towels - left of the stove and light in color with a checkered pattern are included in the cleaning service.

TV Operation:

Garbage/Recycling

·         The trash chute is on our same floor. Take a left out of our unit and walk around the first corner. You will see the door to give you access to the trash chute. Please ensure all trash is bagged.

Kitchen

·         There are two trash bags provided in the kitchen for garbage cans. Additional bags will be in the OC or will need to be purchased/brought

·         They provide a sponge, a small bottle of dish soap, and two dishwasher pods. Any additional pods will be in the OC or will need to be purchased/brought

Miscellaneous:

·         The water heater is only 40 gallons so it can run out faster than a typical home water heater but also heats quickly.

·         The ice maker/water does not work on the fridge. We recommend buying bags of ice and jugs of water at the grocery store if you do not want to drink the FL tap water.

·         You need a key to the pool bathrooms and will have to access the beach and pool with the key fobs. We recommend taking both fobs to the beach if multiple people will be there so you don’t have to share one key/fob.

·         The outdoor shower by the pool has hot water.

·         The switch to activate the hot tub is on the wall near the water fountain. It is an unmarked electrical box.

·         The grill is in the middle of the building near the recycling bins/mailboxes. There are grill tools in the cabinet above the refrigerator. There is a lighter in the owner’s cabinet if the one by the grill doesn’t work.

·         There is a market down near Captain Curt’s. It is pricey but a good place to go if you need something in a pinch.

·         There is Frog Hop and other free (tips) shuttle services you can look up and call to request rides on the island.

·         Publix is right off the island and Costco is only about 10 mins away.
