- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -

WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT?
Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation upon request. Please reach out for the cost and availability.

WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY?
All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of a “code” rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation so it is an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier.

DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE?
TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee.

CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED?
Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings.

WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS?
All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper.

There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets.

CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME?
We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered.

DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS?
Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Palm Desert.

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?
Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.

The property has exterior security cameras for guest safety and home protection. Vrbo requires hosts to inform guests of any such or device. These surveillance devices are only located on the exterior of the property.

Super Responsive Host to a Home with a Few Issues

The listing was accurate, and the neighborhood is quiet with a great view. We had a few issues with the hot tub being poorly maintained and mice in the house. The host was great and promptly got folks out the same day but it would have been better to not have to had issues in the first place.

Great Place

"Great place, very clean and has great amenities. Responsive host, comprehensive linens and kitchen accessories, everything you need. The only downside is that the dishwasher is hard to get to work, we had to use a spoon to activate it when it was shut and it took us a day to figure that out. Other minor thing is that it appears as though there's a garage to park cars out of the sun, but it's an illusion - that's the theater room, there's no covered parking, which means cars are baking in the hot sun all day. Overall I would stay again, it's a cool house!"

Perfect getaway for 2 famililes

Me and my buddy wanted to go away for Memorial Weekend and chose this spot to bring both of our families. I chose this spot because it looked like it had a lot of amenities because we were hoping not to really leave the house for the majority of our stay. I'm so glad we chose this spot because there were so many things to do. We definitely utilized the pool, ping pong table, and movie room the most. The internet was fast enough to handle all of the children who spent the evenings gaming or streaming movies. We had 9 to our party and pretty sure it could have easily handled more. Highly recommend staying here!

Great house

We stayed for a weekend and it was a great house. The management company was super helpful (we had trouble figuring out the remote - it was easy to use we were just being dumb, and a beeping went off at one point because of heat from the stove) and the management company responded immediately to our questions. Great place

Felt like Royalty

"This house was so amazing! I booked the house for a group of 10 women in our 30's for a bachelorette and it was perfect. We had plenty of room to spread out and we loved the house so much that we didn't even leave. We had our groceries delivered and hired a private chef to take care of us for the the weekend. The house has so many fun unique corners to take photos in or places to just take a nap. We all just ended up relaxing the entire time and felt like royalty. The views were amazing and the beds were so comfortable."

"This house was quite literally the best place I've ever vacationed at. We had a group of 10 girls for my bachelorette, and this was THE PERFECT spot for all of us. There was so much to do on property, every corner you look at was stunning, the pool was amazing, it was squeaky clean, I could just go on and on. We didn't have a single issue!
