Additional Amenities & Information:
• Utilities & Rates: Rates include all water usage and up to 40 kWh of electricity per day. Most guests do not exceed this limit if air conditioning is used responsibly, and not left on day and night.
• Parking: A dedicated parking spot (#2) is available in the Bayside parking lot. You can also park on the street in front of the property, but be sure not to block traffic.
• Safety Tip: If you plan on swimming in the ocean, it’s recommended to wear water shoes as rocks, coral, and sea urchins can pose a risk depending on where you enter the water.
Local Tips:
• Grocery Stores: Van Den Tweel, an Albert Heijn store, is just a 5-6 minute walk away, but if you have a car, the Vreugdenhil store offers better prices and is a 10-minute drive away.
• Mosquito Repellant: It’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellant, especially during certain seasons.
• Electricity Adaptors/Converters: The apartment uses 220V with European-style plugs (2 round prongs). If you’re coming from North America, you may need an adapter or voltage converter. Most phone chargers are dual-voltage (110V and 220V) and only require an adapter, but it’s good to check the specifications on your chargers. A converter and a 110V power strip are available in the living room.
We look forward to welcoming you to TaBode of Dreams!
