After a sunbaked day of playing in the surf, fishing, jumping into a deep Blue Hole, swimming with sea turtles or walking through a bat cave, make use of the outdoor shower to clean the sand from between your toes. If the weather permits, you can hang your swimmers and towels on the clothesline to dry. There is also a full sized washer and dryer for your convenience.

Other things to note * Coffee and spices and a few other pantry items are there for your use, but not often replenished. They are only there while supplies last, if you finish something, please be kind and replace it for the next guest. Power Eleuthera is an island in the tropics. Weather, sea water and other factors may contribute to possible power outages. Please be patient with the island. Water The water for Ocean Oasis comes from the heavens above. It is powerfully filtered so completely safe to drink. We added a second filtration system specifically for drinking water in the kitchen (small faucet next to the kitchen sink faucet). BUT because it is rain water, and not an endless supply, please be considerate and conserve it. Animals The island is home to many, animals, though not many harmful ones. You may see the occasional gecko or insect in the home. They are not harmful, please try to respect them. "No See Ums"/ Gnats and Mosquitos come out mostly at dawn and dusk, but here is no getting away from them. Bug spray in the hall closet is available for your use, while supplies last. Stray cats and "Potcakes" may show up for some affection and water or a snack. Don't feel obligated, but they come and go and someone is always taking care of them. A few stray cats roam the grounds, but one particular kitty, Sugar, has an injured paw and shows up at the main deck door most mornings and evenings. She is spayed and vaccinated and sweet but a bit skittish. If you are gentle she may come to you. We have left some cat food for her in the pantry for guests if they want to treat her. But not to worry, the neighbors feed her too! "Potcakes", if you haven't heard the term, are the stray dogs you will find all over The Bahamas. The name potcake comes from what the Bahamans call the burned rice at the bottom of the pan. Sometimes you want it, sometimes you throw it away. Potcakes are usually the friendlies of friends. Really sweet and happy dogs. The Department of Agriculture is tracking the ones who have collars and they seem to be well taken care of. They show up to visit with guests and come and go as they please. If you ignore them, they will go away. If you give them attention, water or food they will still go away after a while, but may (or may not) come back during your stay.
