Welcome! We hope you have a wonderful time on Block Island and in our home. Here are a few details we want to make your stay more enjoyable:
Trash Pickup – Please put the trash and recyclables inside the bins behind the house, otherwise the gulls make a mess. The garbage will be picked up and taken to the Town transfer station at the end of your stay. It is single-stream recycling, so all recyclable glass, plastic, cardboard, and metals may go into one bin together.
Composting – If you like to compost fruit and vegetable scraps you can do so in the large black barrels near the large propane tank behind the house. Just release the ring that holds the top cover and dump it in. Please reseal the barrel when done.
Gas Grill – We have a propane grill in the back of the house. It should have a full propane take. At times the automatic starter will not work. You can use the butane lighters found in the right drawer next to the stove. Additional propane tanks can be found near the large propane tanks as well.
Internet Service – The house has satellite internet service. The service has limited data downloads so please do not stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, or other streaming content. Once the data limit is reached the service will slow down substantially. Basic web surfing, email, and social media are fine to use. Again, please refrain from streaming any video over 1-2 minutes in length. The Wi-Fi password for the Chrysalis Cottage network is bicottage.
Direct TV- Use the remote control to turn the TV on & off. There are several movie channels. The smaller clicker turns on the soundbar (beneath the TV) which may be used with the TV for better sound quality.
Phone Service – Cellular service can be spotty on the island and in our house. Just move around the house or property to get better coverage. We have an internet phone (# 401-466-6011) located on the charging counter you can use as a backup if needed or in case of emergency to call 9-1-1.
Kitchen Counters – The countertops are cement so please do not use harsh cleaning on them as it will eat away the surface covering and cause the counter to deteriorate.
Island Information – To find everything you need to know about Block Island, we recommend you download and install the Block Island App.
You may download it at TheBlockIslandApp.com or on the Apple or Google app stores.
Check In/Check Out – Check-in is at 3 pm on the Monday of your arrival and Check-out is at 10 am on the Monday of your departure. The key is inside the lockbox. Code: 1998. Leave inside the lockbox upon departure.
Windows – The ocean atmosphere creates dampness and fog at night so please close the windows when you are out at night. Also, please lower the windows at night to prevent the smoke detectors from going off due to excessive water vapor in the air.
Lights – Please turn off lights/electronics when leaving the house to help eliminate brown-outs during the busy summer months.
Outdoor Shower and Hose – There is an outdoor shower on the back of the house. You may also wash off your feet or beach gear with the hose. Please turn off the faucet when done.
Shower Faucets – All the inside shower faucets operate by turning counter-clockwise NOT pulling out. Please be gentle when using.
No Smoking – Please do not smoke in the house or on the porch.
No Pets – We do not allow pets of any kind in the house or on the property.
If you have any questions or issues, please call Lynn at 978-273-6096 or email us at chrysalis@bicottage.com
May you have a special time and many memories - Enjoy!
