4. Maximum occupancy not to exceed at any time:
   * A family of 5 (2 adults + 3 children)
   * 2 couples (4 adults)
5. If a guest has stayed downstairs before, it is his/her responsibility to meet their company on the specified arrival date and show them around the dock and introduce them to Brian and Katherine. At no point, are they to leave new people unattended on the docks.
6. "No Transitive Party" You must get it cleared in advance if you plan to have additional friends come by (e.g. cocktail party, surfing, etc.) and unless cleared in advance, they are not to spend the night - this includes the outside crashpad.

Finding 305 Shoreside

• Google for . The map is accurate, but don’t drive down the gravel road of Shoreside Dr. Instead, just park on Danmann Ave at the corner of Danmann Ave and Shoreside Dr, and walk 50 yards down the gravel to the gazebo structure. The address is on the wooden gate in the gazebo at street level. The gazebo is on your left (towards the ocean) just after you pass a 20 foot by 8 foot garden on your right at street level. 305 is a yellow house. Brian and Katherine live in the top floor (down 2 flights of stairs) and the guest room is the bottom floor (down 4 flights of stairs) at dock level right on the ocean.
  

When You Arrive

• STEP #1: Do *NOT* park on Shoreside Dr. Shoreside Dr is a private one lane road, and all Shoreside Drive is assigned parking to specific neighbors, not you! You can drop off supplies with your car at the gazebo for a couple minutes, then go back and park on Danmann Ave which is a public street.
   
• STEP #2: All members of the group must be introduced to Brian and Katherine UPON ARRIVAL or if Brian and/or Katherine are sitting outside on the deck, the guest should introduce themselves.
   
• STEP #3: As a courtesy to others, please use clean pillowcases provided (if it is not already covered).

• STEP #4: Everything you find in the guest room is for you (and is clean)! There are dishes, towels, sheets, blow dryer, hot-tub, shower, TV. If you find a beer in the fridge, there is no need to ask, DRINK IT! (Previous guests left the drinks behind.) There are sheets, pillows, comforters for the bed upstairs, USE THEM! There is a coffee maker, coffee, and filters, MAKE COFFEE! Watch TV, fill the hot tub, whatever. If you find ANYTHING inside that space, it was meant for you and you shouldn’t ask or feel bad about using it, because that is what it is for! Please make yourself at home.

• STEP #5: Be a good neighbor! Don’t wander onto neighboring docks without permission from the owners, stay in the area in front of the guest room (that is yours). Some surfers might come through to launch off your dock, this is totally expected and they have permission to be here. Make sure you introduce yourself, then be polite and let them do their thing.

• NOTE: The “chill zone” is YOURS!! This is the circular pad and pillows suspended on the porch. Light the patio heater up and use a blanket or comforter, it is a great place to hang out and watch the surfers.
  

• The dock can get EXTREMELY slippery, PLEASE BE CAREFUL! And do *NOT* use the boat launch to get to the beach until you have talked with Brian! You can get to the beach by going back up the stairs to Shoreside Dr and walking towards the main beach on Shoreside Dr, you will see a path to the beach just before the little red house.
  
  

• Take all towels and sheets that you used (including duvet cover) off of beds and toss them in a pile on top of the Japanese soaking tub. Do *not* put them back into the linen closet as we wash everything prior to the next set of guests.

• Wash any dishes you used, leave them in the drying rack.

• Bag all your trash and leave it on the porch just INSIDE the guest room front door (dock level).

• Please check the guest room for any/all personal items (clothes, toothbrush, phone chargers, jewelry, etc.)
