Lots of people ask questions about the grills and how we handle them, so hopefully this will answer all of those questions.
There is a gas grill on the patio - we do not provide or allow charcoal grills at our houses. Sometimes guests will leave charcoal grills that they bought for tailgating or beach use and you are welcome to use them if they are there, but not at the house.
There is a propane boiling pot and burner and utensils at the property, stored in the garage. Please clean it and return it there when you are finished with it.
We are working towards having all natural gas grills, however some properties still have propane grills, and the boiling pots only use propane. We leave a couple propane tanks at the house for the grill and boiling pot burner, but there is no practical way to keep them filled, so propane is not guaranteed. Like most properties on the island, we employ the honor system, as we do not and can not monitor them. If you drew the short straw and the gas runs low or out on you, take the cylinder and pay an exchange at IGA, CVS, Ace, or Stripes. It should be around $25.
Grill cleaning is guest responsibility. If you use any of the outdoor cooking equipment, it needs to be cleaned and the drip pans emptied and ready for the next guest.
We do not and can not clean the grills and boiling pots between guests. Please use paper towels and the metal grill brushes to clean the grills, not our linens or our pool cleaning equipment.
If you leave the grill or boiling pot dirty for the next guest you will be charged $50. If you check in and find the grill dirty send us pictures and we will send you $25.
(NOTE: Dirty is excessive food particles or full grease catch pans or actual food left in the boiling pot, not a little grease residue or a little rust on the grill or grates.)
Please replace the grill covers after the grills cool down and are clean.
We try to take care of as much as possible so that you don't have to worry about much on your vacation, but we do ask for this help from our guests that want to use the grills and greatly appreciate your assistance so that we may continue to provide them.
