During warmer weather, I recommend purchasing mosquito repellent and sunscreen while you are here. Being so near the water and with a few small streams running through the property, and a river bordering it at the back, there are bound to be mosquitoes. Also, there are several beaches both saltwater and freshwater, so sunscreen is a must. I have beach towels, beach chairs and beach umbrellas too! Enjoy all that Plymouth has to offer!

Pool passes may be available to guests by purchasing them daily from the John Carver Inn across the street. They provide towels. They also have spa facilities, a restaurant, and a bar just steps away. They serve breakfast daily and lunch and dinner most evenings. SERVICE ANIMALS This is a NO PETS SUITE Please be aware that a 150lb service dog lives downstairs. He is guest friendly. He is NOT guest-pet/service animal friendly. He will not bark or try to go upstairs to your area but it is VERY important that your service animal is under control at all times and does not bark at or tease my dog; it would not be safe for your service animal to encounter my dog. Use of the backyard must be preceded by a text to make sure I bring my dog inside so it is safe for your service animal in the yard. Your service animal must be walked before using the yard; the yard is not a toilet and there is no one but you to clean up after them. (We want the yard to be clean for other guests and their barefoot children). FEES: 1. There are additional cleaning fees for service animals who leave a mess, starting at $500, and up if there are damages. This is a very old house, a landmark, so please do not bring an animal who is not entirely house-trained or scratches at doors or chews on furniture unless you plan on leaving them in a kennel that you bring with you while you are away. If the mess necessitates that the suite is not available to the next, incoming guests, you will be required to cover all cleaning fees, repairs, cancellations and losses until the space can become available to guests again. 2. Fee for moved for moved furniture. I am not an able bodied person. If you or your guests move any furniture in the house or in the garden and it requires me to hire someone to move it back then you will be charged for that amount plus $50 for the inconvenience. 3. Please note that items left behind are subject to a $50 handing fee for the cleaning crew to mail to you plus the cost of postage. Please look under furniture, in drawers, closets, the bathroom and shower before checking out. Please make sure the sleeping arrangements are good for you. Some adults may not be comfortable on the sofa or the fold-out sitting room chairs, and certainly adults cannot sleep on the child's bed/settee. Please look carefully at the floor plan to get a full visualization of what the space is. Sorry for all the business talk but it is better to be aware. Thank you :)
