Welcome to Land Grant. We hope you enjoy our house and your vacation at Sunset Beach. Here are a few notes to make your stay more pleasant.


ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING

Land Grant has a 14-50 outlet at the parking level to charge your electric vehicle. You will need your regular charging cable and the 14-50 plug for your vehicle’s charging system. Because not all vehicles use the same system we have elected to provide this method so all can charge. Please note that the outlet has a padlock to restrict access to tenants only, but the same key that opens the house opens the padlock. 


WHOLE HOUSE FAN

The switch is near the front door. You can use this fan to keep the house comfortable anytime the outdoor temperature is pleasant. Open windows downstairs and turn fan on. If you need the air conditioner, please turn the fan off. Exception:  If you have cooked something smelly or the house is very hot when you first turn the A/C on, you can run the fan for a few minutes to freshen the house. 


CEILING FANS

In the large bedroom, the living room, and the loft, the switch for the ceiling fans is separate from the light switches, and you should use the wall switch to turn the fans on and off. There is a pull chain on the fan housing which controls the fan speed (High, Medium, Low and Off). If you flip the switch and nothing happens, try the pull chain first.

The other fans located in the remaining bedrooms have one switch which controls both the light and the fan. There are two pull chains on the fan housing, one for the fan speed and one for the light. Again, if you flip the switch and nothing happens, pull the chain(s).


STOVE VENT FAN

Please remove the stove vent fan filter/cover and run it through the dishwasher once while you are here.


GFI CIRCUITS

This house is equipped with GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuits to help prevent electric shocks. The kitchen has two, one over the dishwasher, and one by the microwave. The bathrooms have one, located under the towel bar in the laundry room. If the outlets in any of the bathrooms or the kitchen do not work, push the ‘Reset’ button on the appropriate GFI outlet.


WALLS

Please do not allow children to bounce balls against walls. Some balls leave marks even paint cannot effectively cover.


AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT

Please note that we have two separate zones, one upstairs and one down, each with its own thermostat.


TO THE BEACH

Please use the public walkways to use the beach. The closest is the 8th Street walkway, which you can enter from the lawn of the duplex next door. Please do not walk in the dunes, or allow your children to walk or play in the dunes. These dunes provide our only protection in the event of severe storms, and surprisingly, even walking on them will destabilize them.


TRASH PICKUP

See Sunset Vacations announcement on refrigerator for exact days. Per town ordinance, please pull the empty trash cart back under the house. Please place the cart under the street-side stairs.


FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

There are two fire extinguishers. One in the pantry closet next to the refrigerator, suitable for grease fires (cooking fires) and one in the laundry room for general purposes.


BRUNSWICK COUNTY VISITOR CENTER

Call 754-2505 for tourist/event information 8:30 am – 5:00 pm daily. The visitor center is located on US 17 in Shallotte at NC 130.


LIBRARY

There are paperback books in the drawers in the laundry room. Feel free to take what you like, and leave your old books here.


WIFI
