Helipad? Not sure what the rules are, but the back parking lot should work.Do you have a helipad on premises?
Free continental breakfast (if you don't already have it).
Jay, this item has been mentioned by many posters. Have you tried an add-on multi outlet? I would recommend one like this, because it has a screw which attaches to the existing outlet. The screw keeps the add-on firmly in place, and as an added benefit it makes it more difficult for the device to leave in someone's suitcase. They are inexpensive, this one is less than six bucks at Home Depot.
Oh, and BTW, cheap is not a desirable attribute when shopping for electrical components for my house. Home Depot and Lowe's can keep their Chinese crap. I'll sleep better using commercial quality components purchased at the local electrical supply house that deals with contractors...not homeowners that want the cheapest price.
(couldn't pass that one up. :wink2: )Perhaps you could schedule one day a week, or even one day a month, where the focus is to go in and clean UNDER furniture. Other cleaning jobs would be handled normally, but the extra shift would be solely for this. Yes, it would cost a little more but would be much less disgusting. And there would be no excuse for "forgetting".
Perhaps veterinary clinics are inspected more than Motels, but among other agencies that inspect me annualy and that check for extension cords and power strips are "Neighborhood improvement" (aka code enforcement), the Fire Department and the Bureau of Professional Regulations. If I were to use one of those unapproved strips, I would be caught within three months.
I was thinking along the same lines. Those that don't want to come to Texas may think they are depriving us of their company. I assure them they are not.
We do. It's called a "Deep Clean", and we do them on a cycle.
Port Aransas is so far from any neighboring state that it is fairly unusual to see anyone from out of state. When you are fully 8 hours South of Dallas, you're just not going to see a lot of people from anywhere else!
Perhaps because I suggested it? lol
I get it! Lack of outlets is a pet peeve of ours, too.
The best time for this is May, before school let's out, or October, after school starts. The weather is great, the water is warm, and the kids are back in school.

It's kinda like the difference between buying your auto parts at Autozone or NAPA.
Advertising is a tough nut to crack. An ad in Flying magazine or EAA's Sport Pilot is beyond our budget, and other venues are soooo scatter gun as to be questionably worthwhile. We do a lot of Facebook stuff, but that's pretty limited. We have 1200 fans, which is nice, and many of them are repeat guests.

The 2-night minimum is a sad necessity, given our wildy variable demand. The problem is that dozens of people will book Saturday night only, months in advance, leaving Fridays unwanted and unbooked. Then, on the Wednesday before the weekend, we will be swamped with people looking for the whole weekend. We then have to turn them away, and are left with a half empty house on Friday night.
Not having a 2-night minimum on weekends is like taking ten $100 bills, laying them on the table, and setting them on fire.
So, we're stuck with it.
True. UL listing is not a very high bar and it has nothing to do with whether it will meet local codes. Everything with a plug that is sold at Walmart will be UL listed.
But would you trust it in your business to meet all local building codes?

+2 (Mostly Leslie, but if she is out hiking, so will I be). I'd be happy swapping lies and drinking beer with Jay, but that is going to get cut short.
What a coincidence!
80% chance and TS in forecast again for this weekend. Grrrr!
We have a propane grill at poolside.brian];1751366 said:
