It is not wheelchair accessible, and has different levels within the house. Also please be aware that this is a private home owned by my elderly mother who uses the property regularly. She is extremely allergic to animals, where reactions are extreme and debilitating at her age. Please understand the house is not suitable for a service or emotional support animal. Thanks for your understanding. brbrThere is good, strong wifi in the whole house and yard.brbrGuests have access to the entire house except for the attic, inner cellar and the upstairs back closet.brPlease observe the condition of the house at the beginning of your stay, if there is anything out of order let us know right away. We thank you very much for leaving the cottage as it was when you arrived. brbrMost nights get cooled down by ocean breezes, but if you do need the air conditioning , we appreciate that you only run it when needed. There are often drought conditions in the summer months, so please be careful with your water use when possible. brThere is an additional refrigerator in the basement you are free to use, as well as the washer and dryer. Please take advantage of the breeze and the sun and hang your clothes outside, they will smell amazing! If you do use the dryer, please be sure to clean the lint trap.brbrAlso in the basement are floaties, coolers & beach chairs, lawn games, fishing and snorkeling things... help yourself, just be sure to rinse anything you use with fresh water, and return them in good condition please.brbrBe very careful on the rocks they can very slippery at low tide and may be tippy, please watch and accompany small children at all times. Also be careful along the edge where the grass and the rocks meet, there has been erosion over the years and can be steep in spots. This being said, we swam and boated off these rocks our whole lives, at high tide there is a great pool area that fills up, the water is warmed by the rocks, it is perfect for kids or just for floating :)brbrFeel free to use any of the pantry foods, spices, condiments, etc. We are careful to dispose of anything old or stale, so anything that is here is still good stuff, please use it!
