EMERGENCY INFORMATION
There is a phone in the house. All incoming calls can
be received. Emergency (911), local and (800) calls can be made. However,
there is a long-distance block on outgoing calls. If you have a telephone
calling card with an "800" access number, you can charge LD calls to your
calling card.
PETS
NO PETS PLEASE!!
We regret that we cannot allow pets in the house due
to some guests' allergies, possible flea infestation, and the extra cleaning
involved (in our very limited time between guests). There are good kennels
available in the area.
BEACH ACCESS
Pretty green, but stickery, gorse grows on the bluff
below the house. Good steps down to the beach are located at the Face Rock
Viewpoint, which is just four houses south. The beach
is
wide and sandy with caves and spectacular rock outcroppings along the shore.
At low tide there are fascinating tide pools and sometimes many colorful
starfish around the bases of the rocks. (It is illegal to take live marine
specimens from the beach.) The beach is lovely for beach combing, picnicking,
sunning, swimming (though cold!), or just walking. If you wish to ride
on the beach, horses can be rented from stables south of our house along
Beach Loop Drive.
HEAT
Electric units in each room are controlled individually.
There is also a fireplace and firewood.
