Keypad code will be provided once the home is clean, inspected, agreement is signed, ID is provided (mandatory per city rules). Code is sent in the messaging thread when all the above is completed, or 4pm. Whichever comes first.
Cleaning Fee- nonnegotiable. This covers clean linens, cleaning of bathrooms, kitchen, floors, basic balancing of spa chemicals, and basic cleaning of the home. This does not cover left trash, excessive messes, dirty dishes, pet messes, excessive shedding. The home has deeper clean items that happen 2-3x a year.
Spa- Spa hours are set to 7a-10p No exception. This is a city rule and can result in fines. The spa is maintained after each and every guest. Spa covers are NOT airtight. This does mean there may be some debris that can get into the spa. Do not add anything into the spa. Urine, spilling drinks, excessive body oils or leaving cover off can result in a drain and fill fee. Please keep in mind we do use chemicals to maintain the spa. As it is used by many people the chemicals may seem slightly stronger than a normal spa. This is done to make sure the spa is sanitary.
Early check-in- No guarantees will be made. Feel free to complete the appropriate check in form asap. If the home is ready upon your arrival, we will let you have access. Do not show up to the home until given the code. This rushes the cleaners and tends to assure something is missed.
Late check out- No guarantees. This is based entirely on the cleaning team’s route. It is only granted night before checking out. If you’d like to guarantee checking out later, book another night.
