BOAT SHUTTLE:
You do not need to book your boat shuttle; you are automatically booked for a boat shuttle upon booking your reservation. The meeting point for the boat shuttle is at the Rocky Point boat launch. There are 2 docks; the boat normally arrives at the right dock if you are facing the water. Our Tritoon boat is white with a green canopy. We have a strict check-in of 4:00 p.m. and check-out time of 10:00 a.m. since we combine different groups onto the same boat shuttle and we must ensure that our boat shuttle services are as time and fuel efficient as possible. The check-in and check-out times refers to the boat departure from the meeting point. Our boat shuttle accommodates up to 11 guests at a time, so if we have too many groups with check-ins at the same time, we will contact you to coordinate an earlier or later check-in or check-out at no extra cost. Otherwise, alternative times for the boat shuttles (2:00-6:00 p.m. for check-ins & 8:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. for check-outs) are provided on an inquiry basis only (not guaranteed) and have an extra cost of $100 per boat shuttle. Please note that providing shuttles at alternative times is quite labor and fuel intensive so the fee is enforced as compensation. The uniqueness of the property offers unique challenges and costs.
ARRIVE ON-TIME:
Since other groups will also be waiting for the same boat shuttle, please arrive on-time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the boat shuttle will leave without your group and you will have to wait until the next boat shuttle time slot. If another boat shuttle is not already scheduled, you will have to pay the extra $100 boat shuttle fee.
PARKING:
We recommend that you drop off your guests and luggage at the Rocky Point boat launch before parking your vehicle. We provide parking at the Legion Club 119- located about a 10-minute walking distance from the boat launch.
ON-SITE TRANSPORTATION:
Our team will transport guests & their luggage from the dock to each unit in our side-by-side ATV, unless your unit is located in front of the dock.
ON-SITE CHECK-IN:
Our team on-site will help get you checked into your unit and provide a brief demonstration on the use of certain amenities, both within your unit and the property. Please ask any questions you may have during the check-in process.
