Breezy Beach Cottage

To whom it may concern, There is general cellphone coverage on the Island and all carriers/towers are required, by Federal law, to allow 911 calls (but not necessarily non-emergency calls) . There is no landline, as the 911 dispatch is located off Island and is not a local call. Water pressure is normal (40 psig). However, due to the limited septic service (holding tank with a cost of $0.12/gal for disposal), all faucets have standard flow restrictors for water conservation (like California and Arizona). The tap water is safe/drinkable, but it IS well water and contains the typical minerals - and tastes like it. We therefore request that guests use the ROS for the coffee makers, as the high mineral content (Calcium ions) will foul the heating elements. We also recommend using the ROS for drinking, as it tastes better. The storage tank for the ROS is 2 gallons, and uses the supplied tubing and faucet, so the flow is typical for ROS faucets. The upstairs windows do open, but are only storm windows, as this is a three seasons cottage. Unfortunately, the window panes/panels fall out when opened fully and/or incorrectly. As such, we requests that guests do not open the windows, but use the air conditioning system. As required by State Law, smoke and CO monitors/alarms are located within each bedroom, and in the hallway upstairs. They are also located in each of the main rooms downstairs. Two means of egress are not required for single family units under Wisconsin law. The cottage is not listed as ADA compliant, and is over 100 years old. As such, the bathroom was added with the advent of plumbing and is downstairs (it used to be a two hole outhouse when we were children here!). The stairs are steeper than typical, and the treads are narrower than typical - all consistent with older homes here in the Island. Nearly every review/comment we have had over the five years we have been renting the cottage has been five stars. We were very surprised/disappointed by the review, but have tried to list the property as accurately as possible.
