A&S Tropical Cottage

House Rules: Clothing Optional: We like clothing. It can be fun, creative, and protective. HOWEVER, we are an older couple who seldom wear clothes around the homestead. As guests, you are welcome wear or not wear clothing, at your complete discretion. There is only two places where nudity is strictly enforced: the hot tub and pool. If you have any questions at all, please let us know. Please note: You must read the full listing and accept the terms. Refunds will NOT be provided simply because you didn’t read before agreeing. General: • The roads throughout the island are poor, especially the one coming to our place – there are lots of potholes. Please make sure you rent a vehicle that can handle the terrain. • Our expectations are that you will be self-sufficient, unless we have discussed it beforehand. We will be happy to give you some ideas of things to do, but we are not tour guides. • Please, please Get trip insurance – we have personally experience with flight delays, cancellations, freak weather, personal illness, and other circumstances that trip insurance will help to cover. • Parking for 1 car is provided Water: Our water comes from the sky as rain - please be conscious of your water usage. When it’s gone, it’s gone (until the cisterns are refilled by the next rainstorm) • Please conserve water by turning the faucets off in between soaping and rinsing in the shower, while brushing your teeth, and any other time you aren’t actually using it. • In the land of fun and sun we don't flush for number 1 (Unless leaving for a while) • The hot water switch is over the counter by the microwave. Please switch it off when not in use to conserve electricity. • We are on a septic system, so PLEASE don't flush anything your body didn’t create! Of particular concern are: • Wipes - Baby wipes, cosmetic wipes, any wipes at all, even if they are labelled as “flushable”. They are NOT flushable. This is important – they clog pipes, and can cause sewer backups. • Q-Tips, cotton pads and balls, menstrual products or other cotton products • condoms • dental floss • contact lenses • paper towels or tissues • food products, including chewing gum • Please also do NOT pour anything down the kitchen or bathroom drains that could damage the septic system or the leach field. Of particular concern are things like grease and oil, toxic chemicals (like nail polish remover) and anything that could clump or coagulate. Critters: We are on a tropical island, so you will see some or all of the following: • In the “wild”: • Geckos, hermit crabs, stray cats & dogs, mongooses (mongeese?), and iguanas • roosters and hens, which (fair warning) will crow anytime they want, and they generally start “wanting” at 2am. This is island-wide, not just in our location, so you will not escape it. • big black bugs, centipedes, ants, and if you are lucky, Frangipani caterpillars. We keep a clean place but, if critters give you the creeps you might want to stay in a hotel. • The hosts are also the servants of three cats, Flo. Cleo and Jillian
