FAQ
Q: Why does your rental prices change?
A: Good question. Price change is based on Season (higher demand in late Fall, Winter and the months, March - May), Special Events & the actual time of booking a reservation. For example, when you book your reservation earlier than 30 days, we are able to schedule the month easier, passing on a lower rate to our guests. We do our very best to keep prices reasonable. Our pricing includes utilities, cable, Internet/WiFi, pool & landscaping services, property management fees, and professional cleaning. Also, the longer you stay, the more we can work with you regarding the price.
Q: Do you allow pets?
A: Many of our guest prefer a pet-free environment. Some people have asthma or allergies, so we must respect their medical needs. Personally we are pet lovers and will consider some pets. We consider pets on a one-to-one basis. Basis that we take into consideration include type of pet, size of pet, are our guest(s) home with pet(s) most of the time or will the pets be alone. There is an additional pet cleaning fee of $200.00 ($100.00 of this fee is refundable if there is no damage caused by pet.) We pay an additional $100.00 to our cleaning staff for deep cleaning after a pet has occuplied our home. Pet owners are solely responsibility for the care of their pets. Pet "do-do" must be picked up on a daily basis. No pet is allowed off of the property unless it is leashed at all times. You will find doggie do-do baggies and dump units throughout Desert Harbor.
Q: Are your prices negotiable?
A: Due to special circumstances such as a cancellation, we may consider reduced pricing. Also, if you book more than one stay a year. Your second stay will automatically receive a 10% discount. Another example, if you stay longer than two months, your rate may be reduced - depending on the time of year. We will give you a 10% rebate on referrals too.
Q: Are you willing to lease your home for longer than 6 months.
A: Yes, We are interested in renting our home on both long and short term basis. Long term rentals will be treated as a "lease". Renters will be asked to pay a security and cleaning deposit and well as the first months rent prior to moving in. A credit check and application are required.
Q: Do you provide any food?
A: Yes. I love to cook and have a fully stocked seasoning cabinet, e.g.; garlic salt, chili powder, cajun, french fry, lemon pepper, olive oil, balslmaic oil, etc. We also have a "welcome" stock of coffee, cocoa and tea and a few other goodies. Feel free to use what ever is in the house. Also, feel free to leave goodies as well! We have laundry detergent, soap, etc. for your convenience. We do however expect you to clean out all parishables before you leave.
Q: What makes your home so special?
A: We care about your stay with us. We want you to feel completely at home. We've gone out of our way to make your stay as complete and comfortable as possible. We spend extra time cleaning our property, sanitizing the beds and bathrooms, and keep the home as clean as possible. For an additional fee, we will even set-up flowers, create an "personalized welcome package" and more. Just ask!
