* We now have 2 spas (a new elecric one for the winter and year-round)
1. NO GLASS, CIGARETTES, OR GUM IN OR NEAR THE POOL PLEASE.
2. Pool/spa/waterfall is controlled remotely by phone app
3. For Rentals from April 26, 2019, to Oct 27, 2019, your stay includes a heated spa for “any five hours” per day at 98-104 degrees (suggestion for day: 11 am–4 pm; suggestion for the night: 8 pm–1 am). Please text us in advance which five hours you want the spa heated either in the day or at night so we can program this in advance, however, you can modify the schedule during your stay by texting changes on demand. Max temp is 104. You can break up the 5 hrs day and night.
4. We won't run the spa hot 24/7 but are flexible to tailor the experience to your needs.
5. Occupancy does not include the cost to heat the pool. The cost to pre-heat the pool is $9/hour. If you want the pool pre-heated to a certain temperature on any particular day, or desire the pool water temp to be above 80° between peak swimming hours (e.g. 12 pm - 5 pm) for certain days, or evenings, please ask in advance. A typical 2-day w/e in May/June can involve 20-30 hrs of pre-heating (15 hrs on the 1st day, then 5-15 on the next day) if desired. If you wish that the pool be heated during your stay we ask for reimbursement for the natural gas and address this is by taking a photo of the gas meter before and after your stay, texting it to you, and then show you online that the pool heater is programmed.

CHECKING IN
A FIFTEEN-minute orientation and walk-through will be given upon arrival for Keys, Alarm codes, Fireplace, Air Conditioning, Electronics, Widescreens, Cable entertainment, and Pool Etc. Linens and Kitchen Utensils are provided; tenants must provide their own food/refreshments.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Strict: 50% refund if canceled at least 30 days prior to arrival. Call after you sign the Guest Agreement so I can block out the calendar making it unavailable to anyone else and notify any other potential guests inquiring about that time slot that it is unavailable as a courtesy to them.

Entire house, backyard, pool, all adult bikes in garage, game room, deck.

1. Kitchen
Usually, I do a quick hands-on showing how to use certain things in the Kitchen that you think you might use (stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher) and show where everything is: new plates, cups, ice buckets, all BBQ supplies, blenders, coffee pot/filters/mugs, pots/pans, garbage bags, etc. There are two refrigerators (one in the kitchen one in the garage). Let me know if you need the 2nd one (garage) and I will plug it in the night before so the freezer is ready for you by check-in.

2. Bathrooms
All 6 1/2 bathrooms will have at least one liquid hand-soap, 3 folded towels, and a new roll of toilet tissue paper (ppl always ask this one). If you run out of towels you will find an additional stockpile either in one of the two laundry rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor or in the master bedroom closet (which I will show). Each bathroom also has a small trash can with a plastic bag. We ask that any tissue paper, etc, be thrown in the garbage pail, not flushed to mitigate any remote chance of a clogging issue(s).

3. Bedrooms
Six of the seven bedrooms have a queen bed and the seventh bedroom (The Jungle Room) has a king-sized bed, one box of tissue, one liquid hand sanitizer, and a hard copy of Dan's Papers weekly paper (see (URL HIDDEN) in ea room which will come out ea Friday as long as it is still in print.
See (URL HIDDEN) for "all things" Hamptons.

4. Internet
WIFI: NETGEAR58 Password: vastlightning292. The Modem and the Router are in the Master Bedroom which is near the deck in the backyard so you should not have any problem accessing the internet from any areas in the house, however, I put in a wifi-extender just in case anyone has trouble accessing the net from the deck or pool patio areas. If that happens just scan for NETGEAR58_5GEXT (and use the same password vastlightning292). We have a high-speed internet package so multiple ppl online will not have issues.

5. BBQ
Brand new Weber purchased Aug 2014. Propane will be connected to the new BBQ and I will show whoever is grilling how to use it. Important Note: Whoever is grilling should not forget to shut off the gas knobs on the BBQ panel as well as the valve on the propane tank. If someone doesn't shut off the knobs properly/fully the propane keeps flowing gas to the BBQ after the flames are out it - a hazard if anyone is on the deck smoking cigarettes. Easy to follow once I show for any BBQ novice.

6. Outdoor Heated Spa and Rock Waterfall
The outdoor Heated Spa and Waterfall are controlled by me remotely (by phone app) via (URL HIDDEN) No need for anyone to touch any of the pool equip. I give you 5hrs/day (any 5 hrs you want) for a heated outdoor spa. Just tell me at check-in (or text me during your stay) when you want the spa on/off. I set the temp to 99 degrees (max is 104). It takes about 20 min for the spa to get hot so give me at least 30+ min notice before your guests intend to use it. Text me or call, even at nighttime. In addition to heating the spa, I turn on the spa jets and blower. If late at night and the blower makes too much noise for you just text me "blower off" (the spa will still be hot and the spa jets will stay on).

The Rock Waterfall is another feature that you can have turned on if you want for approx 2.5hrs/day so text me anytime the times you want this on/off. The reason why only 2.5 hrs is b/c over time the rock waterfall deposits sediment into the corner of the pool which is unattractive so this is how we mitigate that. A nice feature when your guests are on the deck and/or pool patio.

7. Town Ordinance Rule/Garage
If you might have more than 5 cars you must put 1-3 cars in the 3-car garage. I will give you 1-2 garage door openers if you need them. A local town ordinance is very strict in that you are only allowed 5 cars max in the driveway and no cars can be in the street overnight (11 pm the latest) or you can get a ticket and a knock on the door by code enforcement. Guests typically ignore this one rule but it actually is more important for you as the ticket the 6th and 7th+ cars directly.

8. Central Air Conditioning
There are 4 zones for Air Conditioning (1st Fl, 2nd Fl, Master BR, and Jr Master BR). You can keep the bedroom doors closed to preserve the temperatures in those rooms while enjoying the common areas. We add 4lbs of freon to the 1st Floor A/C every June so it runs top-notch.

9. Key, Damage Deposit
I will give you 1-2 keys for the house and 1-2 garage door openers. I will return the security/damage deposit within 72 hours after I get the keys/garage door openers back, have the house house-cleaned, and do a thorough walk-through.

10. Misc
Bring paper towels and any bath supplies (shower gel, soap, etc), but towels are not necessary as we have plenty of those. You can use the dryers to dry towels (and/or washer/dryer).
