Please
treat our house with "kid" gloves!Special Note to Renters with Children…
Children: This is a Luxury Million $ House.
Please appreciate we only want renters with well behaved,
well-supervised children (ideally ages 12+, infants BEFORE they can
crawl are find too) to allow our luxury home to remain in pristine
condition for all. If you have children, we appreciate parents who
teach their kids not to touch every wall or appliance in the house.
If you have children, please view this complete list of concerns for
young ones. This home is surrounded by water and parents must
supervise their children and guests at all times.
Windows & Screens: We know 1 to 8 year olds love to
touch and lean on windows. As fascinated as tots are by windows,
housekeepers equally dislike cleaning them. If your young ones have
left hand prints all over the windows please take a few minutes
before you depart and use some Windex (under the kitchen sink) or
you could be subject to a $50 extra clean fee. All screens are not
to be dented or torn. If they are leaned on and dented they will be
replaced at YOUR cost.
OUTSIDE: ALWAYS WEAR SHOES on lawn, back cove and
in barn. There are old rusty nails, glass and wooden splinters all
around the property and down by the Cove near the water. Please
supervise children outside at all times with obvious attention to
the waterfront, the tidal cove and the traffic on Ocean Avenue.
Barn/Garage: Children should NEVER play in the
Barn, as this is an old structure with inherent risks, splinters,
etc.. Do NOT open the back doors of Barn toward the Cove!
Gas Fireplaces: the 3 Gas Fireplaces can get VERY
HOT! Children must be warned and/or watched at all times to be sure
these are NEVER touched!
Jacuzzi Tub: No toys or items that will scratch the
Tub are allowed.
LCD Screens (TV’s): Finger Prints can ruin an LCD
TV Screen. Children must be warned and/or watched at all times to be
sure these are NEVER touched.
Hard Wood Floors: if you have walkers for tots,
high chairs or playpens and get permission from the owners to bring
them they can NEVER be use on the hardwood floors. If these are to
be set up on hardwood floors you must bring an extra throw blanket
to place over floor to protect it from scratching.
Cords on Blinds: The Cove Room and Captains
Quarters have large windows and large blinds. When these blinds are
pulled up (like you will want them) you must be sure tots cannot get
tangled in the cords (keep playpens away).
Food: Should remain in the Kitchen and Dining Area
only. If kids wander the house with food you are asked to clean this
up.
NOT Allowed at 82 Ocean without special permission
from Greg and Heather as these items scratch our hardwood floors:
High Chairs
Playpens
Walkers for Young Children
Sorry for the long list but this is for your family’s protection and
the protection of our home. Unfortunately we have had our biggest
headaches, problems and only damage from groups with kids ages 1 - 8
(an age where no matter how good of a parent you are it is hard to
get them not to experiment and explore). If you find any of these
items a concern for your family then this is probably not the rental
for you.
Thank You,
Heather & Greg
