Born from Peter Luger's Famous NY steakhouse, the one time waiter and now owner of this long time local favorite restaurant serves up the best steak anywhere in the area. Expensive but worth it for the Prime Steaks and delicious side dishes. You won't regret it.

Getting around

the house.......Using the thermostat

When adjusting temperature in our home, always increase / decrease by two or three degrees at a time. The house wont cool faster just because you drop the temperature by large increments and doing so can harm the air conditioning system. Please keep window unit set no lower than 75 for same reason. Keep window treatments down when leaving the home to prevent heating the rooms. Please DO NOT use the humistat (brown box next to thermostat)as it will affect the air conditioning performance.
Getting around

the house..how to use the television

You have two options for television viewing. On one input there is Xfinity cable television. Use the xfinity remote to change channels and volume on the television. By changing the input to the ROKU box you will have access to streaming services. Bring your account information for Netflix, amazon prime, paramount plus etc if you wish to utilize streaming options. There is a guest setting for Roku and all your information will be erased upon the date you set in the programming.
Getting around

Clubhouse ....parking at the pool and clubhouse

Use of the parking area at the pool and clubhouse requires placing a parking pass on the dash or mirror of your vehicle. If you fail to use the pass your car may be "booted" and a fee of $110.00 is needed for the boot to be removed. This service ensures no outsiders use the property. Remember to leave passes and gate card upon departure to avoid replacement fees.
Getting around

Gate Access....gate card

You will need to use a gate card to enter the community and the pool. This pass will only work during your stay. Losing or failing to leave the pass in the home will result in a fee of $50 per card, to replace them. Please be aware of this and make sure to take care not to lose the card.
