Cisco Brewery
Founded by Dean and Melissa Long in 1997 and located on Nantucket Island, Triple Eight Distillery is the region`s first micro-distillery. Named after its ultra pure water source, well #888, Triple Eight Distillery makes a variety of premium spirits, all of which are hand crafted in small batches using only natural ingredients.
In addition to the flagship product, Triple Eight Vodka, they make Triple Eight Orange Vodka, Hurricane Rum, Gale Force Gin and Notch ("not scotch" single malt whiskey).
Their "hard stuff that`s hard to get" motto is noticeably changing. Currently distributed in 12 states and growing quickly, they have recently been the beneficiary of much national media exposure (The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Associated Press, Boston Magazine, Agenda Magazine, Elle Magazine and much more).
Yet perhaps the strongest marketing force is the island of Nantucket itself and its 200,000 visitors each year. They are located at 5 and 7 Bartlett Farm Road, and a visit there is a great way to cap off a fabulous Nantucket vacation day! |

Travel Insurance
Because vacation rentals are a new way of traveling for many people, some inquiries are from travelers who are used to hotel cancellation policies that allow as little as 24-hour advance notice. By encouraging renters to get a travel insurance plan, you can ease their minds about far-in-advance bookings. The main upside of trip insurance is that it can alleviate the burden of cancellations, refund issues, and open dates at your vacation rental. The cost of travel insurance can range from as little as $35 up to a few hundred dollars. Ideally, your renters should purchase their insurance policy within seven days of booking your home in order to get the best rates. Renters should make sure they read the policy guidelines carefully before purchasing to understand what kinds of cancellations are covered.
JPFCO`s cancellation policy as stated in the lease: If it is necessary for Tenant to cancel a reservation and the period can be re-rented at the same rate, tenant will receive a refund from the landlord, less a cancellation fee of 15% of the gross rental. If the cancellation period cannot be re-rented, the Tenant is responsible for and required to pay the full amount. |

| NOTES FROM PEPPER THE ELDER |
SellerSpeak
Okay. If you'll stop drumming your fingers on the desk top, we can get started. Today, we are going to tackle the subject of SellerSpeak: To wit; what the real estate Seller says (S) and what he actually means (AM).
S: ' You realize that I don't need to sell this house.'
AM: ‘I need the money, so get rid of this GD house as fast as you can.'
S: 'The kids are all in school and this house is too big for us. We'll find something smaller.'
AM: ' I'm getting murdered by the college and boarding school bills and from now on we're renting.’
S: ‘Oh that. That's just an old water stain. We repaired that a long time ago.’
AM: 'The place leaks like a sieve and get me out of here.'
S: ‘I am absolutely firm on my price. I won't budge a dollar.’
AM: ‘Oh please, dear God, bring me an offer.’
S: ‘My friends and neighbors have expressed an interest in buying the house over the years.’
AM: ‘They want us out of the neighborhood.’
S. ‘Oh, I don't know what that is; I'm sure it's not serious.’
AM: ‘It’s serious.’
All in good jest. Wink. Wink.
