IMPORTANT DETAILS TO NOTE -The home can sleep up to 20 guests. Guests 17-20 are charged $50/guest per night. POOL HEATING- Pool heating is available for an additional $200/day. Please let us know AT LEAST 24 hours prior to your arrival whether or not you'd like this turned on, so that we can adjust the settings accordingly. If selected, we will set the pool to 85 degrees, which doesn't make the pool *hot* but does make it swimmable. (Without heating, temperatures can drop to low 50s in the winter.) MASTER BEDROOM- There is a remote in the bedroom that controls the blinds behind the bed (up and down). You can adjust it to match the level of privacy/light you'd like. POOL MAINTENANCE- The pool is located by a lot of trees and shrubbery. This, and the fact that it is a very windy monsoon season, means debris WILL and DO get into the pool daily. We have regular weekly maintenance (usually on Fridays but not always) to keep the water properly balanced but debris will inevitably get into the water every day. We provide a skimmer for you to get the pool to your liking between maintenance calls. **If you do not want the pool treated during your stay, please let us know prior to your arrival and we will do our best to reschedule with our pool tech.** WATER TEMPERATURE (INSIDE)- The water takes a little time to get hot but it does get hot! Please give it a few minutes before reaching out! LANDSCAPING- We have scheduled landscaping every other Friday to keep our property looking as well-maintained as possible. If you want to know if your booking falls on one of these dates, please reach out and I can check for you. DISHWASHER- The dishwasher stumps many, but basically once you select the cycle, you have to press start and then push the drawer closed immediately. If there is a delay, after pressing start, it won’t start right away. SECONDARY FRIDGE/FREEZER- the secondary refrigerator and freezer in the laundry room are not functional.
