IMPORTANT HOUSE INFORMATION:
POOL SERVICE AND GARDENERS:
For your comfort and convenience we have the pool serviced between 2-4 times a week and the gardener weekly. The pool man usually comes Mondays and Thursday. Both the pool man and the gardener have access to the property through the side gate, not to the inside of the home. Please be aware, so you are not startled or caught off guard as they come in unannounced.

TRASH AND RECYCLING:
Pick up is every Monday. For your convenience we pay the town extra for a walk in service. This means that the garbage service will take the two bins from inside the gate and place it outside the gate for pick up Monday morning. Monday evening they will return the bins to their original location.

SPA:
If you opted for the heater option for the pool and spa the pool will be set to 84 degrees on your behalf so that it is always warm for you day and night! Please do not touch any other pool equipment. Pool equipment is very expensive and any damage will result in service being billed back to you. Please use the remote left for you on the counter.

SPA HEATER:
You can set the heater as high as 102 degrees. This is a 400,000 BTU pool heater which is extremely strong. You only need the heater on for about 25 minutes to achieve a very high temperature. When finished PLEASE PLEASE remember to turn off the heater with the remote. Also please remember to let us know if you would like the pool heat and Jacuzzi heat prior to your arrival. We cannot guarantee the pool to be at any certain temperature if you don’t let us know. The pool will take up to 48 hours to heat up in the winter time. It is $150 a day for the heat. Includes a fireplace and a fire pit plus heat for pool and jacuzzi and the waterfall. We just need to know a bit in advance so we can pre-warm the pool for you. It takes up to 48 hours in the winter months. If you prefer just the jacuzzi it’s $100 a day.

POOL & SPA LIGHTS:
Pool and Spa Lights are operated from the remote as well.

TVs:
The house has Spectrum and the TVs are smart TVs for Netflix, , Amazon Prime. The living room has a massive 85" television.

CHILDREN:
Adult supervision is required at all times. Of course swim at your own risk.

PETS:
I am one of the biggest animal lovers around. We want to keep your pets safe 100% of the time. Please do not leave your animals outside unattended. You are in the desert and there is other wildlife. Not to mention it gets VERY HOT in the sun year round. Your pet belongs inside. There is a fee of $250 for animal waste left on the property and a $250 excessive cleaning fee if there is dog hair on the furniture. Please be responsible and ask your pet to stay off the furniture and enjoy his or her dog bed.

Please be sure to let us know before you arrive if you will have any pups with you (maximum 2 unless otherwise noted). Our gardeners and pool guys come on specific days but sometimes they adjust their days to accommodate the rental schedule, holidays and weather. We are not responsible for any issues while your pets are on property.

BBQ:
The BBQ has a refillable propane tank. If you run out of propane and need it replaced before we can get a new one to you, please send us the receipt and we will reimburse you for the gas.

WATERFALL:
Our waterfall is an amazing 25’ wall of tranquil water.

SMOKING:
This is a smoke free property
