Everything is as described in the listing, though do take care to read the finer details of the listing, house rules, and guest policy book when you arrive. The guest book, in particular, is extensive with a lot of rules about the house. While certainly it can help to have rules in place to preserve the space, it seems a bit excessive at times and can hamper an otherwise great stay with worry about whether you're doing it all right. For instance, the book says if you don't complete a check-out task, they will fine you $250. A check-out task can be as simple as not taking out the trash or not turning down the thermostat.
One of the main selling points of the house: The hot tub! Some tips:
- Hot tub is $5/hour extra charge. It takes 25 mins to heat the hot tub so text the number in the guest book before you want to get in. The texting was fine, ultimately, but a bit of a learning curve.
- You have to launder pool towels you use (but not the regular bath towels)
- There is technically at 10 p.m. shut off for hot tub use because of outdoor noise ordinances.
