There is plenty to check out during your stay!
There will be a house manual upon arrival that you will be expected to read. All important complex rules and expectations will be outlined in the manual.
The driveway is very steep. If you have a trailer, RV, or other lengthy vehicle, please note you may not be able to get up the driveway.
Renter understands that an insurance policy covers the Property but that this policy insures only the Property and the tangible personal property in it owned by the owner and does not insure any personal property of the Rental Party or Renter’s licensees, invitees, or guests. Renter is advised to seek traveler’s or renter’s insurance if Renter desires to insure the Rental Party’s or other persons’ personal property during the occupancy.
PLEASE NOTE: There is NO additional cost to heat the pool. The pool is indoors, and is heated with an electric heater. The temp will be set to 85 degrees. The ability of an electric heater to heat the pool is largely dependent upon the ambient air temperature. In the colder months, the heater will not be as efficient. For this reason, we do not guarantee the temp will always be at 85 degrees. The pool is indoors, which will help keep the pool warm, but there will be no refunds if the pool temperature is unsatisfactory.
Pool cleaning is Monday morning. Each Monday morning, the pool cleaner will knock on the back pool door. If no one answers, he will let himself in to service the pool. Please do not be alarmed. It usually only takes a few minutes, and he will not be entering any other part of the home.
Important Rental Policies: A signed rental agreement is required within 48 hours of booking. A link will be provided for completion.
Per VRBO policy, we directly collect the rental payment. Any payment made at booking is a VRBO platform fee and is not applied toward the rental amount. Full payment is due 30 days before arrival. For bookings within 30 days of arrival, the full payment is required at booking. For bookings made more than 30 days in advance, a deposit will be required and applied to the final balance.
Specific payment details will be shared after booking. Please adhere to these policies to avoid disruptions. Feel free to contact us with any questions on this.
Check-in is at 4:00 p.m., and checkout at 11:00 a.m. Early check-ins and late check-outs are generally not possible due to the time it takes to clean an entire home. The only way to ensure an early arrival or late departure is to purchase an extra night. Please contact me 24 hours in advance if you would like to extend your stay, and I would be happy to see if that is an option.
Failure to depart the premises before 11:00 a.m. on check-out without prior written consent will result in an additional charge of $100/hour withheld from your security deposit, plus any expenses incurred by needing to move your personal things out of the home, or from moving the incoming group of guests to a new property.
For any booking 28 nights or longer, any adjustment to the booking resulting in a reduction in the length of stay will incur a $500 fee, plus 10% of the difference in price.
Electricity will be charged separately ONLY FOR STAYS 28 days or longer. There is a large monthly discount applied, so in an effort to keep your price as low as possible, we ask guests to pay for the electricity separately. Everything else will be included (wifi, cable TV, tax, cleaning every 2 weeks, pool/gym access, etc.) We estimate the average electricity bill to be $300/month. It's possible it may be a bit more in the summer with heavy A/C usage, and it will most likely be quite a bit lower in the winter. Once the reservation is confirmed, we will send a request to pay a $300 electricity deposit for the reservation. This will be applied to your final electric bill. Any difference will be refunded to you, and any additional amount will be withheld from your security deposit. Checkin details will not be sent without the $300 electricity deposit paid in advance. Payment instructions will be sent and processed directly through me with a valid credit card.
Interaction with Guests: I will be available via email during business hours. Your check in information will also include an After Hours/Urgent phone number for issues regarding lockouts, water leaks and heater or A/C failure. No one will be on the premises.
Should you run into ANY problems upon checkin or have any questions during your stay and need to contact me outside of normal business hours, PLEASE call the After Hours/Urgent 877 phone number listed in your house manual, and checkin PDF.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Great Place for Executive Retreat
The Senior Leaders of our company chose this place to have their retreat and it worked great. While VRBO is typically used for family or friends as a vacation spot it worked great for all the Senior Leaders to have one stop for sleep, meet, and relax.

We had a great time.
Beautiful private views. Nice kitchen and comfortable beds. The HVAC can be a bit noisy at night depending on which room you’re in. We wish there were board games or cards at the house. Watched sun rise from hot tub : ). Overall good stay. Pool was bigger than looks but is ‘just’ warm enough to stay in a short while.

GREAT location - super quiet - property feels run down
Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. Management team was very responsive and friendly. House was very clean and well stocked with tons of games and kitchen utensils. Unfortunately, the property is run down and is in need of attention. The front door combination deadbolt doesn't work from the outside, so we had to deal with that upon arrival. Pool was ice cold, and we couldn't use it on the first day as the breaker for the heater was tripped prior. There were a handful of other minor issues... If management were to perform maintenance required, we would come back.
