House rules and recommendations in Haapsalu
Welcome to Tiny Marienholm!
We hope that your vacation in Haapsalu will be memorable!
Below, please find some house rules and tricks we would like to draw your attention to:
- You can conveniently park your car in the designated parking lot near the houses.
- You can enter the room with the smart lock code. The code will be sent to you a couple of days before your arrival.
- Please keep the front door locked when leaving and at night, and do not leave personal belongings on the terrace. There can be strong gusts of wind on the peninsula open to the sea, and they can carry your belongings into the sea.
- Smoking is not allowed in our houses. Campfires on the peninsula are also not allowed.
- For fire safety, there is a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher in the house. The latter is located in the cabinet under the sink.
- Please do not wear outdoor shoes in the room in order to keep the floors in good condition and clean.
- In the house next door, there are people staying that are most probably just as nice as you. For their sake, we ask you to keep the noise level between 11:00 PM and 8:00 AM to a minimum. Our houses are designed for two people. Large groups or parties are not welcomed here.
- However, small children and pets are very welcome with us. For small children, you can order an extra travel bed with the bed linen.
- If you have pets with you, you need to pay an additional pet fee. For your pets, the rules of maintaining tidiness apply on the peninsula just like elsewhere in Estonia – please clean up after your dog so that no one finds any surprises under their feet 🙂 Pets are not allowed on the bed in our houses.
- We have towels available for all guests. Please do not take them away from the house (e.g., to the beach).
- Naturally, we carry out a thorough cleaning before each visit, but we kindly ask you to leave the house as clean as possible when you leave, with the kitchenware washed or in the dishwasher.
- Check-out is until 12:00. Want an extra hour of sleep? Just in case, please ask if this is possible.
Some tips on how to successfully operate in the house:
- SAUNA. If you chose a house with a sauna, you will have access to a separate sauna house next to your house during your stay. Starting it is easy – it works with electricity and heats up in about an hour. In an hour, the sauna achieves the sanarium effect, where you can enjoy the view longer in the warm sauna. You can have a hot steam room in two hours. You will find the sauna instructions inside of the sauna house. Using sauna whisks is truly enjoyable, but we kindly ask you not to do it here. Otherwise, cleaning takes significantly longer than expected. 🙂
- INTERNET. There is free Wi-Fi in the house.
Name of the network: TinyMarienholmX (X is the number of your house)
Password: ScandiumLiving - SPEAKER. You have a JBL speaker at your disposal. You can connect it to your phone via Bluetooth and play your favorite music.
- HEATING & COOLING. The house is heated and cooled by a heat pump. You can conveniently control it from the remote according to your preferences, choose between different modes (heating, cooling, etc.), and if you wish, you can turn it off altogether.
- DISHWASHER. You will find a small dishwasher hidden in the kitchen cupboard. The dishwasher tablets are on top of the dishwasher. You can turn on the machine when you leave and leave it running.
- Please bring the outdoor textiles in for the night.
- SWIMMING. The closest option for swimming is the sandy beach of Vasikaholm. It is about 3 minute’s walk away in the direction of the city center. We do not recommend going into the water at the mini villas. Caution! The water around the pier is shallow!
- If you post on Instagram, please tag us @tinymarienholm so we can inspire more through your experience (assumes your Instagram account is public).
- FIREPLACE. Please be very careful when lighting a fire in the fireplace and pull the curtain away from the window and the fireplace. Do not add more wood than is placed in the fireplace. Open the damper on the fireplace – the holes open. Light the fire in the fireplace using the the lighter and close the door. Please do not open the door while the fire is burning. When the fire and coals in the fireplace are completely extinguished, close the damper.
