Arrival

Arrival at Wander Surfside Beach

We're so excited for your stay! In order to ensure we can deliver the highest quality experience to our customers, we ask that you please revisit our house rules before your trip. By booking a Wander, you agree to the below: 

1) If anything is damaged when you arrive, let Concierge know by texting 737-377-3205 on the day of your arrival.

2) You are responsible for any damage to the home, furniture, equipment or Tesla during your stay.

3) You operate the Tesla, gym equipment, pools, hot tubs, saunas, and all amenities at your own risk.

4) You agree all activities are at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for staying away from cliff edges, swimming safely, and following local laws. 

5) No smoking or vaping inside a Wander.

6) Open flames including candles are prohibited. Exceptions are birthday candles on a cake or fire in a designated fire pit or fireplace provided by Wander.

7) If you are bringing a pet, there is a + $100 per pet charge, which goes to the cleaner for their added work as the homes require extra attention after a pet stays. You agree to not allow pets on indoor or outdoor furniture and to clean up their waste on the property. This keeps maintenance manageable so that we can continue to host pets.

8) Place trash in outdoor trash bins or dumpsters provided at each Wander home. More details can be found in the Home Manual. If you are staying at a bear-prone location, there will be a bear-proof container with trash bins inside to use.

9) You agree to check-out at or before 10am. We can’t accommodate late check-out, but Wander Concierge can help you find things to do or tasty places to eat to help you fill time (text: 707-896-1524).

House Rules

The home has Sonos speakers, which are incredible for playing music or listening to a podcast while you move around the house. To connect through WiFi with an iPhone, follow these steps: 

1) Go to your phone's settings and make sure you're connected to the Wander WiFi. Select Sonos from the device list.

2) Open your preferred streaming service on your phone: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc. 

3)  In the streaming service, play your chosen song and tap on the AirPlay icon (which is either a rectangle or a circle with an arrow pointing up from the bottom.) Choose one or more Sonos products to stream the same audio across all of them using AirPlay.

4) You can continue to control the music directly in your streaming service. 

5) Still having trouble connecting with the Sonos? Contact Wander Concierge to help you (text: 737-377-3205).

You may also check out the video below to learn how to connect your streaming service to the Sonos.

Sonos Speakers

NOTE: The name of the Tesla should be the Wander home name, please do not change it. 

All Wanders come with the option of using the Tesla, to save you on gas or the need for a rental car.  Want to access it during your stay? 

Beginning at check-in, you will see an option to access the Tesla in the Trips tab of your app. Upon arrival, you will need to click through our agreement, submit photos of the Tesla, and add your driver’s license and insurance details. If you don’t have valid US car insurance, you’ll need to purchase some (we recommend Bonzah.com). After that, the car will unlock and you’ll be all set! 

As a backup, we also send an email with the agreement on the day of check-in to the email address connected to your Wander account.

Once unlocked, you'll find that the key card will be inside of it, by the cupholder. If you have issues, please text Concierge to confirm your driver verification status (737-377-3205).

You may also check out the video below to see how to use the Tesla. 

Extra Instructions: 

1) How to unlock Tesla Model 3/Y with a key card

To access the Model 3/Y, place your key card on the card reader – making sure the Tesla logo is facing you. The card reader can be found on the driver's side, a third of the way up on the door pillar (the black strip that divides the front and passenger windows). 

Once the key is detected, the lights on the exterior of the Model 3/Y will flash. Note: You may need to hold the key card against the door pillar for a few seconds when opening. 

2) How to lock the Tesla Model 3/Y with a key card

Locking the Model 3/Y is as easy as unlocking it. Just follow the same steps used to unlock the vehicle.

3) How to put the Tesla Model 3/Y in drive

Power up the Tesla by placing your foot on the brake. If you wait longer than two minutes to power up the car, you’ll need to place your key card on the console (between the cup holders and the armrest) to power it up. Once the Tesla is on, move the gear selector down to drive the vehicle. The gear selector is on the right side of the steering wheel.

To select other gears:

-Reverse - Push the selector up 

-Park - Push the button on the selector in

-Neutral - Hold down the selector for 1-3 seconds 


4) How to charge the Tesla Model 3/Y

Park the vehicle, then press and release the button on the Tesla charging connector to open the door to the charge port. The charge port door is on the left side of the vehicle. 

You can also open the door by:

-Pressing the bottom of the charge port door when the vehicle is unlocked

-Using the touchscreen Controls > Charging > Open Charge Port.

Note: The Tesla “T” lights up when the charge port door is open. The charge port door closes if the connector is unplugged for more than a few minutes.

5) How to use the Tesla supercharger network

Put the vehicle in park at the Supercharger station and plug in the connector port.

6) How to open the front trunk

To open the front trunk, push the button on the gear selector inwards to park the vehicle and touch the “open” icon on the touchscreen. 

7) How to turn on the wiper blades 

The wiper blade controls are on the left side of the steering wheel. A single press does one wipe, while pressing down on the button activates your wiper fluid and cleans the windshield. 

8) How to use Tesla voice command 

To turn on the voice command, press the scroll button on the right side of the steering wheel once. 

9) How to control music 

To turn the music volume up or down, use the scroll button on the left side of the steering wheel. Scroll up to turn the volume up and scroll down to turn it down. Pressing the left scroll button acts as a pause/play command. 

If you would like to skip a song, press the right side of the scroll button. Press the left side of the scroll button to go back.

Tesla

Wander makes it easy for you to work remotely from our state-of-the-art workstations. Please note, these desk setups are only compatible with modern laptops that have a thunderbolt port.

For a quick overview of the workstations, check out the video below.

1) Caldigit Dock

This will be the only cable you will need to utilize all of the desk equipment.

How to Use: The Caldigit will be located under the desk in the metal box and will have a singular USB C Thunderbolt Cable coming up to the top of the desk. 

Potential Issues: Some computers may not be able to use the lighting USB due to basic computer differences but most will have an available port. If some desk equipment is not working, it may be as simple as a loose or unplugged wire from the Caldigit.

2) Logitech Brio Webcam

How to Connect: Webcam should automatically connect to your device via the thunderbolt cable. You may need to select the Logitech Brio Web Camera in the setting of the application you want to use. Usually, devices will default to the computer's webcam.

Potential Issues: If the camera does not have a picture, the camera cover may still be on. Simply flip up the piece covering the camera.

3) Monitor

How to Connect: Your computer will connect to the monitor via the single thunderbolt cable coming from the Caldigit.

Potential Issues: If the computer display is not showing, one solution may be that the wrong input is selected. To change the input, press the button on the bottom side of the monitor and a menu will appear. In that menu, go to input and select the display port. This should bring you to the correct display.

Another issue may be that the display port cable has been unplugged. Check to make sure that the cable is correctly connected to the back of the monitor and also correctly connected to the Caldigit.

4) Yeti Nano Microphone

How to Connect: Once the Caldigit cable is plugged into the computer, the microphone should be ready for use. To ensure you are using it, open sound in your computer's settings, select input and select the yeti nano microphone.

Potential Issues: If the mic isn't working, check the small circle on the front of the microphone. If it is green, the mic should be live so people can hear you. If it is red, it means it's muted. If the microphone is not showing any color on the circle, it means it has no power and may have been unplugged from the Caldigit.

If the microphone isn't working, go into your computer's Settings > Sounds, then change the input from your laptop's microphone to the Yeti Nano.

5) Razer Nommo Speakers

How to Connect: Once the Caldigit cable is plugged into the computer, the Razer Nommo speakers should be ready for use.

Potential Issues: If speakers do not automatically connect to your computer, go to your Settings, open Sounds, and change the output from your laptop's speakers to the USB audio 2.0. If speakers are still not working make sure that the volume dial on them is turned up.

6) Desk

How to Use: Use the arrow keys on the controller, which is mounted to the underside of the desk.

How to Reset: Hold the DOWN button until the desk reaches its lowest height and then release the button (for the Advanced Paddle Keypad, hold the paddle down).

Pro tip: If your desk doesn't start to move after pressing the DOWN button, release the DOWN button and try again. Hold the DOWN button again for 30 seconds and then release (Note: if you have an Advanced Keypad it will display "ASR"; the Basic 2-Button Keypad does not have a display; the Advanced Paddle Keypad will display "RESET").

Hold the DOWN button again until the desk lowers slightly, then rises slightly, then release the button. If the desk doesn't move, try this step again. The movement means the desk reset was successful. If it didn't move, try the quick reset again.

Workstations

To go to Live Channels, you can click the Home button, and that will take you to Samsung TV+. Go to Guide, and you’ll find the Live Channels.

For additional instructions, you can also check out the video below.

You can find trash bins at the base of the driveway, in between garage bays.

NOTE: Please make sure that no cars block the cans since it will prevent the trash from getting picked up.

Trash

Your Wander comes with a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules. To enjoy, please follow these steps: 

1) The Nespresso machine has two compartments. On the left compartment, fill the water tank (at least halfway) using fresh drinking water. Make sure to change the water every day or as necessary. 

2) Turn the machine on by pressing the button located on top of the machine. As the machine is heating up, the lights will blink for at least 15 seconds. Once the lights are steady and have stopped blinking, the machine is ready for use.

3) The cup support has three positions that can accommodate different cup sizes.  

For espressos, lift the cup support and place it on the stopper midway between the coffee outlet and base. It’s recommended to place a cup holding 1.35 fl oz. or 40 ml for espressos.

For regular coffee, simply place a cup holding at least 7.77 fl oz. or 230ml under the coffee outlet. 

For alto capsules, use a cup holding at least 14 fl oz. or 414 ml.

4) Unlock the machine by sliding the top chrome piece to the unlock position. Once the machine is open, place a Nespresso capsule into position with the dome side facing down and the foil part facing up. 

5) Close the machine head and slide back to the locked position. Simply press the button to start coffee preparation. It may take some time before coffee starts flowing into your cup. You can stop and continue the coffee flow at any time by pressing that same button. 

6) Turn the top chrome piece to the right and open the machine to automatically eject the Nespresso capsule. Close the machine again once done. 

7) Turn the machine off by pressing the top button for three seconds, and you’re good to go! Enjoy! 

You may also check out the video below to see how to operate the Nespresso machine.

Nespresso Machine

You’ll find the elevator access door next to the garage bay. The door faces the beach.

The elevator key for the first floor is in the golf cart lockbox. Use the elevator key to open the door. 

Call the elevator with the call button. Load items and close BOTH exterior and accordion doors inside the elevator. Press desired floor. 

NOTE: The “call” button will flash when the door is ready to be opened. Unlatching or opening any doors before the elevator settles will cause the elevator to lock in place in safety mode. Please wait for the call button to blink before opening. 


Elevator Access Door

IMPORTANT: The golf cart may only be used during daylight hours. It's illegal to drive the golf cart in Surfside as soon as it's dark.

Where is the key? You’ll need to sign the waiver we sent in order to unlock the key to the golf cart. 

Where is the lockbox? The lock box is right next to the golf cart on a white post.

Please note this is only made for driving on payment, not sand.
(an additional note: the beach also does not permit motor vehicles) 

If it's not turning on: It needs to be charged. 
NOTE: Please make sure to not leave it plugged in overnight. It will burn out the battery.

Golf Cart

You can find the dishwasher on either side of the sink.

Dishwasher 

You’ll find it outside by the pool. It is hardwired.

Grill

The pool is set to an auto-non-adjustable 77-82 degrees to avoid bacterial growth. Dogs are strictly prohibited from being in the pool because their dog hair damages filters (and is a bummer for the next guest).

Pool cleaners come to clean early on Saturday morning at 8 AM each week to ensure cleanliness. The pool is at a level under the deck and the bedrooms are on the upper levels, so as not to disturb the guests during clean-up time. If you do not wish to have it cleaned during your stay, let Concierge know. 

NOTE: The pool at Wander Surfside Beach is open all year. 


Pool

Troubleshooting: If the AC stops working, please make sure all doors are closed. You can turn off the AC and let it defrost for 45 minutes, and it should work again.

Note: If you leave the doors open, please make sure to turn the AC off, or else it’ll freeze over. 

Heat and AC

There is a big, black radiator that has a small panel that pulls out of the left side if you're looking at the equipment from the driveway. From there you should be able to navigate through the menus to adjust the temperature. 

We recommend rinsing off before you go in to help keep it clean and healthier for your group.

NOTE: 103 degrees is the max temperature and ambient temperature may affect how hot it gets as well.

To maintain spa safety, the hot tub is cleaned weekly. If you’d prefer not to have the hot tub/pool cleaning come during your stay, just let Concierge know. The schedule is every Saturday at 8 AM.
