Other Things to Note: (Professionally Managed By Effortless Rental Group) • Please read ALL House Rules thoroughly. • Professionally Cleaned and Sanitized to COVID-19 Requirements • Digital/Contact-free Check-ins • 24/7 Premium Guest Support • Pool and spa heating are offered at an extra charge: Pool heating: $100 per day * Spa heating: $35 per day * Once the pool or spa heating is activated, refunds cannot be issued. It can take 10+ hours for the pool to reach temperature once the heat is turned on. *This fee is applied to all days of the reservation. • Pool/spa care - This typically happens every Tuesday and Friday, so it’s possible that someone may enter the backyard during your stay. • Lawn care - This typically happens every Thursday (front and back yards), so it’s possible that someone may enter the backyard during your stay to tend to the landscaping. • Quiet hours 9PM - 8AM - According to Riverside County, CA Policy, Quiet Hours for vacation rentals are from 9PM to 8AM on weekdays and 10PM to 8AM on weekends. During these times, outdoor speakers or noise amplification and the use of outdoor amenities are not permitted. Please keep outdoor noise at a conversational level during Quiet Hours, as you would in a hotel where public amenities are closed during these times. If you anticipate being loud or energetic after Quiet Hours, kindly move indoors. Failure to comply may result in a $1000 fine and immediate eviction due to noise violations or complaints from neighbors. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. • Festival Reservations: For significant festivals such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the StageCoach Festival, a minimum stay of 4 nights is required, including Thursday through Sunday nights. • Trash removal is typically done every Friday. The trash and recycling bins are located along the fence line on the far side of the home. Someone may enter the gate during your stay to roll the cans to and from the curb, but NO ONE will enter the home. Thanks for your cooperation! • *Please Note: No pets, no parties, and no smoking is allowed in the home. This is not a party spot! Quiet hours are from 9 PM - 8 AM. Any noise violations or complaints from neighbors will result in immediate eviction.

I hate to complain but you need to know that the furnishings both inside and outside were very dirty and stained. All of the rugs were filthy and you should really replace them. No one wanted to go outside and sit on any of the furniture as they were so dirty with dirt, leaves and stains. There were cigarette butts on the ground. There weren’t enough supplies in the kitchen. Could use more tea towels and paper towels. The dish washer was broken and we tried twice to run it but nothing cleaned properly so we had to hand wash everything. The middle bathroom shower had very low pressure and the knobs were not tight to turn off . I was a bit embarrassed as I was the one that made the final decision for your house. The pictures vs what we experienced were not the same and l would say that’s false advertising. I just hope that you send someone to look and test all of the appliances and plumbing. Here’s a few more photos as I have already sent some. I really didn’t want to think about the house and its problems as I just wanted to have a good time with my friends. I definitely would not recommend your house to anyone. I’m sorry.
