DO ask for suggestions of what to do if you get here before the house is ready (we've got some great ideas).

DO check out your Bluewater Beacon for Rental Information, great Vacation Ideas and Savings! (receive your copy at check-in)

DON'T park in the driveway of the house until it is ready.

DON'T buy items that need to be refrigerated or frozen before checking in with us (we hate melted ice cream as much as you do).
