Wifi Network Name harbourmist

Wifi Password ocean2020

  • Given the remote location, the wifi can occasionally be slow, or stop working altogether; in this case, if you simply unplug the chord with the ribbon from the back of the router, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in, it usually fixes itself. If you don’t have immediate results, give it some time, pour a glass of wine, relax looking out over the ocean and allow yourself to unplug and unwind!!

Locking the patio doors Pull the door handles upwards on all patio doors to secure them in place, then turn the deadbolt to the left to lock the doors. Still need help? See this 45 second video.

Climate Use the Honeywell thermostats located on the main floor to the left of the television room, and the second floor to the right of the guest bathroom. The “System” button will allow you to switch between Heat, AC, or Auto. Once the property system is selected, you can set your desired temperature.

Our Environmental and Waste Policy Requires us to do our part in separating waste. We have three bins near the coffee maker & sink: one for compost/organics, one for recyclables, and one for garbage. Additional garbage bags and brown bags for the organics bin can be found in the cupboard by the sink. We encourage you to sort your waste using this guide. We will happily remove your waste at the end of your stay. Should you wish to remove your own, our garbage bins are located beside the outbuilding closest to the house. There is one black bin for compost/organics labeled “organics”, one blue bin for recyclables, and a second black bin for garbage.

Please be sure the compost bins and garbage cans are closed securely to keep the racoons out!

Main Level Fireplace This indoor fireplace has two screen options. Use the black knob in the basket to select a grate or glass. Ensure the flue is open using the small latch in the bottom left of the fireplace. If you require additional firewood, there is a stack on the right side of the outbuilding closest to the house and a wheelbarrow to transport it!

Main Level Bedroom Fireplace The propane fireplace in the guest room requires the switch on the wall by the bathroom to be turned on in order to work. Once on, use the black remote to set your preferences.

Second Level Outdoor Fireplace If there is a high wind, we ask that you do not have an outdoor fire on the upper balcony as sparks can easily fly around and it is an area close to the cedar shakes and reclaimed beams.

Firewood is provided and there is an ample amount of it by the garden shed. There is extra kindling in the shed, and an axe for chopping more. 

Water As we are on well water, please try to conserve water where you can – shorter dishwasher cycles, showers, etc. The water is filtered through a system which regenerates for a couple of hours around 2 AM. It’s important that the taps are not run, toilets flushed, etc during this time if at all possible. Although the tap water is safe to drink after being filtered, there is a Brita filter in the fridge with extra filters provided in the pantry.

Apple Orchard Lighting If the lights in the apple orchard fail to light up some evenings, there is a restart switch by the outdoor plugs that needs to be pressed to reset them.

The Beautiful Shoreline While down by the water, please stay off of black rocks as they are slippery, and keep young children away when the wave are restless, there’s a strong undertow. 

Stone Sink in Kitchen Although not currently in use, the stone sink in the kitchen provides a great place to store drinks on ice for a dinner party, but please be sure any liquid is removed afterwards – there is a squeegee and paper towel provided in the cupboard below.

During Your Stay There is a first aid kit, and some extra bandages, Tylenol, flashlights etc. in the phone cupboard beneath the stairs
