Details & Advice
You’ll find tons of large beach towels in closets in the kitchen and bathroom. Feel free to use them. Light (read flimsy) beach chairs are available in the closet.
Use stuff like Kleenex, detergent, salad dressing, condiments, etc. but if anything gets low make a note and try to replace it when you shop. If time does not allow, just leave a note behind so we can get it for the next visitor. If you forget, No Worries – you’re at the beach!
We can’t receive mail at the condo complex at all–we all get a PO Box at the post office Mashpee Commons if needed. But deliveries can come to 94 Shore Drive West where they are left outside the Main Entrance. Folks just bring them in and put them on the round counter for the addressee to find.
Living Room
The swiveling Ekornes Stressless soft leather chairs are handmade in Sykkylven Norway; they are considered the best recliners in the the world and cost $3000+ each. Please take care of them. Just push back on the armrests to recline – lock the position with the big dial. Buttons operate the power foot rest. Charge both chairs’ batteries every 2/3 weeks. Find the charging cable behind the TV to the left. Pull it out and connect it to each chair for an hour. Then relax…

Kitchen
There is a new easy-to-use convecting toaster oven that air fries. It has dials, no LED readouts nor touch screens. The refrigerator filters water, and replacement filters are stored high in a nearby cabinet. Google Frigidaire filter replacement on YouTube on how to do it or ask Jerry to come over and help. We apologize! While the cold water dispenser works, the ice maker does not. A new refrigerator is not in the budget until next year, but you’ll find a large bag of ice in the freezer drawer.
Coffee, Coffee, Coffee
There is a Lavazza automatic coffee maker. Drop in one of the provided coffee, espresso or double shot espresso
capsules to automatically make a cappuccino, latte or macchiato. No milk frothing or complex settings. Just push a button. Here’s a YouTube video showing the Lavazza in action.
The Lavazza coffee, espresso and double shot espresso capsules in a drawer in the kitchen are free for your use. If you need more, consider ordering it next day from Amazon right here.
Get Espresso Intenso -or- Espresso Intenso x2 -or- Intenso coffee which come by the box as shown above. They run around $22 for 36 capsule for Amazon members – not bad.
Livingroom Deck
Off the living room is a large covered deck. There are two Adirondack chairs and a dining table with four chairs on it. All are heavy polywood so you don’t need to bring them when the wind blows. You’re on the sea, gales happen! When the wind picks up just move to the other deck, also

fitted out with polywood furniture. There are high Adirondack chairs to catch the views and a nifty glider seating set. Better than a rocking chair, and they are just as relaxing.
Bathroom
The bathroom can be accessed from either the bedroom or the living area; it’s all marble with an oversize shower.
Turning on Lights
The condo is run by Alexa. There are control units everywhere. Just say “Hey Alexa” followed by a command:
• Turn on all lights
• Lower the kitchen lights to 50%
• Change the living room lights to warm white, red, etc.
• Set the thermostats to 70° degrees.
• Turn on the Lava lamps
• Turn on the Arc lamp full white
Individual lights are named and grouped:

The Night Light also operates via the nearby switch, so you need not speak waking your partner up.
You can ask Alexa for the weather, time of sunset, advice on cooking, to set a timer, or almost anything. Physical switches still control the recessed kitchen lights, bathroom lights and closet lights.
Plants
Please water the plants every other day, or lightly daily. The humidifier helps and you can fill it up to the fill line by taking off the front cover. Set it to 35% and forget it. It is not critical in the warm weather so don’t bother if it’s a hassle. If you leave the condo for a few days, please email Jerry and he’ll water them for you.
EV Charging
There are no public access electric charge points in the parking lot, or anywhere in New Seabury. Nearby, Mashpee Commons has a long row of Tesla superchargers as well as a couple of free charge stations at the north end of their complex. There’s plenty to do in the Commons while your car charges.
Garbage Drop-off
There are bins for garbage and cardboard through the door to the left as you come in enter the main entrance. We are single-stream so recyclables are not separated from other garbage. You’ll find plastic garbage bags in the kitchen drawers so just drop off your garbage when you need to.
Laundry
Unit #4108 has a stacking washer/dryer you are welcome to use. For giant loads, just down the hallway are commercial machines that bill a small charge on an app you download. They are great for bed spreads. Detergent is provided, kindly replenish it when it gets low always buying liquid HE washer detergent. Use half as much HE detergent as you normally do for efficient front loaders.
Electric Fireplace
Under the TV is a small electric fireplace with an infrared heater. There is a remote control kept under the TV. Click the image to the right to read the manual if you want to learn how to use it.

Electric Grill
On the big Ship’s Prow deck find a high-end Weber electric grill. It is pretty self-explanatory.
High winds can blow it around, so we have it weighted down.
