FAQ's...

Q: Is there traffic noise at the house?
A: The home is right off 34th St, so traffic can be noticeable when you are outside, especially in the pool area. Inside the home, noise is minimal.

Q: Is the pool safe for children?
A: Yes! The exterior doors leading to the backyard pool have additional locks at the top of each door so you can secure them out of little ones’ reach.

Q: Why are there leaves or bugs in the pool after cleaning?
A: The backyard is surrounded by nature, so leaves, pollen, and bugs may fall into the pool within minutes of cleaning. Rest assured, the pool is professionally maintained and always safe to use.

Q: Can I clean the pool myself if needed?
A: Absolutely! A net skimmer is provided so you can scoop out any debris or bugs during your stay.

Q: How often is the pool serviced?
A: A technician from a local professional pool company comes weekly to clean and maintain the pool.

Q: When is garbage and recycling picked up?
A: The city empties bins every Wednesday morning. Please place the big black garbage bin and recycling bins (located in the carport) by the curb on Tuesday evening if they are full.

Everything was great but there is quite a bit of noise from the street. Nothing the owners can do about that and it wasn't a deal-killer for us because we had read it on other reviews. We sleep with sound machines, so it wasn't an issue for us.
