HOUSEKEEPING. Linens and bath towels are provided in the unit; however, daily housekeeping service is not included in the rental rate. Please note that towels and linens may not be removed from the units, with the exception of pool towels. Pool towels must be returned to the unit, or a charge of $25.00 will be applied for each missing towel. The host supplies an initial set of toiletries as a complimentary amenity for guests. Should guests require additional toiletries beyond this initial supply, it is their responsibility to procure them.

HOT TUB POLICY. (If applicable to the unit booked by Guest) Children under the age of 12 are not permitted in hot tubs at any time without adult supervision. Please be aware that using a hot tub carries certain health risks. Use of this facility is at your own risk.

Hot Tub Guidelines:
The hot tub has a maximum capacity of six individuals.
Clean swim attire must be worn at all times.
Individuals with heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, serious illnesses, or who are pregnant—along with anyone who has concerns—should refrain from entering the hot tub.
If the water appears cloudy, foamy, or emits a “locker room” or strong chlorine odor, it requires treatment. Soaking in such conditions significantly increases the risk of developing skin rashes (pseudomonas). Please notify management immediately, as we have professionals monitoring the facility and need to address any concerns promptly.
Individuals with skin, ear, genital, or other body infections, as well as open sores or wounds, should avoid using the spa or hot tub to prevent the spread of infection.
Shower with soap and water both before and after using the spa or hot tub. Showering beforehand removes common skin bacteria and any lotions, deodorants, or creams.
Prolonged soaking may cause nausea, dizziness, or fainting; therefore, it is advisable not to soak for more than 15 minutes in water at a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
Never use the spa or hot tub alone.
Avoid using the spa or hot tub while under the influence of alcohol or any prescribed or non-prescribed medications. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and raises body temperature, which, combined with hot water soaking, can be hazardous. The risks include loss of consciousness, heart attack, or injury from falls. It is also advisable to wait after consuming a heavy meal before soaking.
Do not attempt to adjust or tamper with equipment such as pumps, heaters, or electrical appliances.
Enter and exit the spa or hot tub slowly and cautiously.
Food and drinks are not permitted in the hot tub.
Avoid using the hot tub during thunderstorms or heavy rain.

EARLY CHECK IN OR LATE CHECKOUT. To request an early check-in or late check-out, please contact the Host directly. If the Host is able to accommodate your request, a fee of $50 will be applied to account for the additional strain on our cleaning staff and possible schedule adjustments. Please note that due to the volume of check-ins, this option may not always be available. Additionally, any late check-outs that have not been pre-approved will incur a fee of $100.
