House Manual & Quirks
Every home has its personality. Here are ours:
🚿 Shower Controls (Read This)
Primary Suite
The shower handle is REVERSED. Setting it to 'cold' delivers warm water, and 'hot' delivers cold. Known feature, not a bug.
Hallway Bathroom
Pull the knob STRAIGHT OUT (not just turn) to engage warm water. If no water flows, make sure the knob is fully extended.
💡 Pool Light
Pool light remote is on the wall next to the sliding door. Heads up: the light is sometimes finicky — let us know if it won't turn on.
⚠️ Pool Equipment
Please don't tamper
Don't remove the vacuum skimmer, adjust the heater, or turn pumps on/off. Damaging the system can result in fines.
🏊 Pool Safety
No permanent pool fence, but we can install a removable safety fence before arrival on request. All doors to the pool area have childproof locks placed high on the doors plus door alarms. Always supervise children at the pool.
