Good to know
City of Palm Springs rules: every stay needs a City contract summary. After booking, you complete it in our Guest App; the person responsible for the stay must be 25 or older and upload a government photo ID. We file it with the City before arrival. City of Palm Springs Account 021556, TOT permit 3221. Occupancy: maximum 6 overnight guests including children and infants, and 10 people total during the day. No parties, events or weddings. Quiet hours are 9 PM to 7 AM. Amplified sound outdoors is not allowed at any time and may never be heard at the property line. Heated pool, for an additional fee: heating is $140 per day, added in AquaMind at least 72 hours before arrival. We start heating the day before you arrive, up to a maximum of 85 degrees, and guests do not control pool heat. The heater raises the water slowly, so in December and January the pool may not reach 85 degrees by check in. Without heat, the pool is unheated and follows the weather. Hot tub: heats to about 103 degrees and turns off on its own after 2 hours. Please close the cover after each use. Pool safety: children must be supervised at all times, and no glass in the pool area. Doors lock behind you: the custom European doors have no outside handles. Keep the key on you or the deadbolt out, especially at the pool. Self check in: you collect the house key from a lockbox by the garage; there is no keypad on the door. The casita (Bedroom 3) is a guest house with its own entrance and key. Parking is the gated driveway only, 3 cars maximum. The garage and owner closets are private. Climate: please keep the air conditioning at 72 degrees or higher. Shades in the bedrooms and great room are motorized; use the remotes, never pull them by hand. No pets. No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property ($1,000 fine). Minimum stay is 3 nights; holidays and major events such as Modernism Week and Coachella require longer stays. Check in 4 PM, check out 10 AM. Early check in or late check out costs 50% of the nightly rate and needs written approval in advance. Cameras: exterior cameras at the front entry and driveway record video only. There are no cameras inside. Trash is collected Wednesday morning; bins may be at the curb only from 5 AM to 8 PM that day.
