General Information

Click Here for Rooms & Rates On Arrival:

Air and Heating
Three seperate units. One serves the living room, dining, kitchen, and small hall off living room. The bedrooms are served by the other two units. For best results, leave all four bedroom doors closed. With energy conservation in mind, try to adjust thermostats when bedroom areas are not in use during daytime. Same for main living room, dining room and kitchen areas.

Ceiling fans on deck
All three are controlled by single switch on living room wall against master bedroom. With this on, they can be operated individually from the deck.

Pier and Boat Dock
Excellent sunbathing. If you have a boat, I suggest that you tie it up to the two outside poles and to to the pier itself. (too much wave action)
