- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT? Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation upon request. Please reach out for the cost and availability.
WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY? All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of a “code” rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation so it is an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier.
DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE? TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee.
CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED? Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings.
WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS? All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper.
There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets.
CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME? We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered.
DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS? Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Palm Desert.
DO YOU ALLOW PETS? Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.
The property has exterior security cameras for guest safety and home protection. Vrbo requires hosts to inform guests of any such or device. These surveillance devices are only located on the exterior of the property.

Incredible!
"An incredible property and exceptional service to go along with it! If you get lucky enough to see this place available, jump on it - it's a special one. The perfect place to bring in the New Year with our friends and family."
What a great place to spend a birthday. Everything was just perfect. From the communication of the property manager, to the house, the pool, the beds. All five star. I highly recommend this place.
We had the BEST stay! We had a multi generational vacation at the Summit and it left us stress free and happy. The house has everything you would want. There were 12 of us and we didnt even need to leave the house. Kitchen is well.stocked with all.your needs. The outdoor spaces were fantastic. The only thing that was a concern for.us iis its a multi level home and we have one family member with low mobility. We .ade ut wirk though!!! Lovely, lovely home! Property mamngers respond VERY quickly to any needs.

Beautiful Home
"I had an amazing stay at Jenn's beautiful home. The home exactly as described in the listing. Check-in was a breeze with clear instructions, and Jenn was very responsive throughout, answering any questions I had promptly. 10/10 recommend if you want to stay in a beautiful home with amazing views of the desert."
The listing was accurate, and the neighborhood is quiet with a great view. We had a few issues with the hot tub being poorly maintained and mice in the house. The host was great and promptly got folks out the same day but it would have been better to not have to had issues in the first place.

Felt like Royalty
"This house was so amazing! I booked the house for a group of 10 women in our 30's for a bachelorette and it was perfect. We had plenty of room to spread out and we loved the house so much that we didn't even leave. We had our groceries delivered and hired a private chef to take care of us for the the weekend. The house has so many fun unique corners to take photos in or places to just take a nap. We all just ended up relaxing the entire time and felt like royalty. The views were amazing and the beds were so comfortable."
Me and my buddy wanted to go away for Memorial Weekend and chose this spot to bring both of our families. I chose this spot because it looked like it had a lot of amenities because we were hoping not to really leave the house for the majority of our stay.
I'm so glad we chose this spot because there were so many things to do. We definitely utilized the pool, ping pong table, and movie room the most. The internet was fast enough to handle all of the children who spent the evenings gaming or streaming movies.
We had 9 to our party and pretty sure it could have easily handled more. Highly recommend staying here!

Great Place
"Great place, very clean and has great amenities. Responsive host, comprehensive linens and kitchen accessories, everything you need. The only downside is that the dishwasher is hard to get to work, we had to use a spoon to activate it when it was shut and it took us a day to figure that out. Other minor thing is that it appears as though there's a garage to park cars out of the sun, but it's an illusion - that's the theater room, there's no covered parking, which means cars are baking in the hot sun all day. Overall I would stay again, it's a cool house!"

We loved that all the upstairs bedrooms had king size beds and their own private baths. The laundry room and extra full size fridge are a big plus, and the kids absolutely loved the big projector and theater room! We had a very pleasant stay and we hope to visit again in the future!"
