Vacation Rental Tips

Check-out Procedure

Check-out is 10:00 AM on Saturday (unless reservation states otherwise). It is important that renters and belongings (including vehicles) are no longer on the premises by this time as the cleaning/maintenance crews need to turn-over the property for the next rental group. Keys must be returned to our office, unless prior arrangements have been made. If the office is closed during your check-out time, please place the keys in the metal lock box located outside our office door, to the right of the door. There is a $25 fee assessed for each set that is not returned.

Wifi

Generally, wireless networks and password information can be found on the bottom or back of the router. The password is sometimes referred to as a “Preshared Key”.

Refrigerators

Please do not change the current temperature setting on the fridge or freezer as it can cause the unit to malfunction. Technicians say that it can take up to 24 hours for a fridge to cool down sufficiently, especially if the door is opened frequently and a lot of warm food and drinks have been placed inside. Please keep this in mind before reporting a malfunctioning refrigerator.

Gas Grills & Propane

Occasionally the grill may run out of propane. IF this happens during your stay, please contact our office by phone at 401.783.1155 | Ext. 407 or email summer@narrprop.com so we may arrange to bring you a new tank. If the tank runs out after hours, please have the tank filled, save the receipt, and bring the receipt with you when checking out so we can reimburse you.

Outdoor Furniture

When unattended, please make sure to put umbrellas down and secure loose items. We have experienced many instances of shattered tables and broken umbrellas. Even on calm days, winds can shift suddenly and cause unexpected damage.

Plumbing

Many of the properties we manage have septic systems. Please do not flush any feminine hygienic products, wet wipes, or anything other than toilet paper.

Beach Fees & Parking

All beaches in Narragansett charge parking fees. There are no additional fees at Scarborough, Salty Brine, and Roger Wheeler (Sand Hill Cove) beach (Parking stickers for State beaches may be purchased @ the beach toll booth). However, Narragansett Town Beach charges an additional entrance fee. There are daily rates and seasonal rates, which vary by age.

Unoccupied Rental

Please make sure to do the following when leaving the house

Linens

At the end of your stay, please return all linens to the bags provided (if you ordered linens) and place them outside the house by the front door.

House Cleaning

While we work hard to ensure all homes are beautifully prepared for guests, please let us know if there are housekeeping issues that need attention right away. We will schedule the cleaning crew to comeback and rectify.
