I love to read your descriptive posts, Hops.

Tilt-A-Whirl experience sounds fun IF no vomiting involved!


Guest checking into cottage today.  The wife just learned to ride a bike for this trip, God protect her.

It's official.

The Wi Fi on the island is substandard, bc the telephone company won't or can't update their capacity to serve their customers so everyone still pays full price for service that might be 4 out of 7 days a week when added up.  That the service comes and goes, sometimes goes for several days is a huge PITA.

We're changing out the older router and modem, but I don't think it will change anything.... but just in case.

The last guests were retired.... she's a T author writing her story about discovering her father wasn't her bio father and her h is a retired police officer turned painter.... and his oversized canvases make my heart SO HAPPY!  There's one of a lab that's joyful.

It was interesting to get reports on the missing beach chair mystery..... the h followed the drag marks and retreived the chair..... his inner cop simply refused to allow that on his watch.  The wife said he mumbled to himself the entire time he was dragging the chair.

Both h and w dealt with divorce and alienated children...... the wife was very chatty.
::nodding::.

Time to read her review.

Review was great.  Guest checking out this morning was silent their entire trip, so happy they checked in last night with plans to return.  Some guests are so easy.

My Super Host status just renewed.  Not sure how that works.  It's a good reason not to book return guests through Airbnb, which I haven't been doing.

No complaints about Wi-Fi, electricity or water outages this rental, so.....that's good.

Expecting high winds at the cottage. 

The Florida dick has been rented daily as shelter from the storm....a new renter has been lining up but hasn't been approved yet.

I had a sketchy guy offer a year's rent up front....assume he's trouble.  Will let dock neighbor realtor handle it.

The dock has a new renter filling out paperwork now.  I asked the last renter for an increase in rental fee, and it was fair... more than fair, but his boat is in repairs for the next 6 months, so I don't blame him for pulling out. 

Update on the cotrage is all good.  Utilities seem to be holding steady.  No power outages last visit, the water and water pressurere cosistent, the wifi is working consistently...... so that's all good.

The housekeeper continues to be on point and the only reason Airbnb works on the island for me......along with the handyman D.  He's keeping the wooden boarwalk on the broken seawall in good repair and making sure the roof is good and metal doors don't turn to lace. 

I'm feeling a pull to sell the place.
