Tips from the Owners of
Bucks Beach Bungalow to you, our honored guests
Welcome to Bucks Beach Bungalow, "our someday" retirement home. The following is an addendum to the Guests Vacation Home Rental Contract listed on www.agreatplacetostay.net home page.
1.
General Information: This home is an open architecture style. Please see floor plan on our website. There are blue velvet privacy curtains on both the Murphy bed area and the living room that can be drawn for separation, as the only solid interior door is on the bathroom. There is a two-story owner's workshop behind the Bungalow between the parking area and the backyard patio which is not open to guests.

Combination will be emailed when final payment received and processed. There are a couple "walk-around" keys on the kitchen counter, though most guests find it easier to just use the combination to access the Bungalow. (The lockbox next to the parking area gate belongs to the owner's workshop and is not the same combination.)

Parking: Suggest using parking spaces in back of Bungalow, access from alley off Hawes St (see map on website.) There is a small-lighted sign on the fence that says BUCKS, 341 next to the 2 parking spaces. If you make a small left turn circle while parking and have the cars facing the gate on the left side, it is easier to back up and then leave the alley forward, rather than having to back up. There are motion-sensor lights around the home to help see if you arrive after dark. Although there is no parking permits required to park on 35th or Hawes, cars maybe ticketed if they are not parked within the white lines at the edge of the street. This means that one must go over the curb and use the small paved area in front of the deck for their right side wheels.
4. Garbage Pick-up: Our gardener comes Sunday afternoon and mows the lawn and tends to the flowers. He will also roll the garbage cans out to the street for early Monday morning pick-up. We would appreciate it if guests would roll them the few feet back to their place by the hedge, after they are empty (usually by 11am on Monday) to make the neighborhood look better.
5.Pet Policy: We welcome many kinds of pets and have made our back-yard a safe haven for them. DOGS: We have a lockable cat or very small dog door that opens to the complete fenced-in backyard with both shady and sunny areas. The beaches, less than 7-doors away are pet friendly and the county even provides plastic Mutt Mitts for the inevitable. We also have a good supply of plastic bags next to the right side of the refrigerator in a Bag-Bag for the same. CATS: For cats we have a cat fully enclosed front screen porch that looks on to a the deck with lots of birds. OTHERS: We've even has a bunny that visited and hopped around on the front deck. What's next?

If you don't turn off the jets when you leave the tub, it may be cold the next time you want to use it and our electric bill will be sky-high. Please keep the bubble plastic on the water when you are finished. The easiest way to use the tub is to stand on the steps, then flip the cover back over the metal bar. Then flip 1/2 of the bubble plastic over the cover, then walk into the tub and lift up the center and push it back towards the bushes. It will rest on the back wooden edge of the tub. When finished, walk to the back and flip the cover & bubble plastic back over the tub.
