HELPFUL TIPS for your maximum enjoyment from your “Sweet Retreat”

435 240th Ave, Arnolds Park, IA  51331

​

WiFi & DOOR CODES: will be provided to you after you book your stay

 

FIREPLACE: switch is next to the guest bedroom door and marked on the switch plate

 

PATIO DOOR LOCKS:  LIFT the handle UP when the door is CLOSED/LATCHED.  The twist/deadbolt lock can then be engaged.  To unlock, just turn the twist/deadbolt lock back to the open position and push the door lever down to open the door as normal.

 

WATER PARK:  Your condo comes with six free daily passes to the water park – provide them your condo unit (Golden Gate #205) and they will put on your wrist bands - NOTE: the outdoor waterpark is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day - during the offseason, due to staffing, it is usually open on weekends only

 

PATIO STRING LIGHTS: control is on the master bed headboard to adjust brightness & timer

 

GARBAGE DISPOSAL: switch is under the sink cabinet on the right side

 

SOFA SLEEPERS: these are world class! If you need them, you will love these.  Just pull the center back of the sofa forward, no need to remove cushions.  Pillows and additional bedding are in the big cabinet just to the right of the fireplace.

 

PATIO GRILL – PROPANE:  also features a side burner if you feel like cooking breakfast outdoors on a beautiful Okoboji morning

 

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS: one on the deck AND one under the kitchen sink

 

FIRST AID KIT:  located in the kitchen angled cabinet opposite the trash can

 

WATER SHUT-OFF: located in the laundry room by the water heater that’s clearly marked (but just like the fire extinguishers, we hope you never need it)

 

BIKE RACK: in the lower parking garage on the east end.  You can take the elevator down or come down the ramp to the garages and use the door code for the walk-in door (code the same as the building entrance). Okoboji features bike paths to nearly every place you want to go…ENJOY!!

 

The single most important thing is that you ENJOY your time at “Okoboji Sweet Retreat” and the Iowa Great Lakes and come back again soon.  THANK YOU for choosing to stay with us!
