-We have full-time neighbors. Renters need to be respectful of noise during their stay.
-We have a boat on a lift on the dock. This is not to be utilized by guests. We ask that you please stay off of the boat. There will be a fine if there is damage done to the boat or our boat lift.
- If you have your own boat or wave runners, you are more than welcome to tie up along side the dock that has built in bumpers and cleats.
