WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT?
Check-in time is 4 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m. Early check-in and late check-out may be available for your reservation.

WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY?
Our homes are keyless entry, we issue 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.

WHAT ARE THE POOL HOURS? ARE THEY HEATED?
Puerta Azul community: The two community pools are heated year-round and are open 7 am – 11 pm. Check individual listing for info.

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?
Certain non-shedding hypoallergenic dogs will be considered at an additional fee. Service animals are permitted, and the fee is waived for such situations (however the animal is never permitted to be in the unit alone if it is a service animal). Please note we do not allow any pets other than dogs.

Puerta Azul Community Rules:
1) The City of La Quinta & Puerta Azul has a quiet hour ordinance (10 pm – 8 am).
2) No more than 2 vehicles per home unit may be parked on the street at any time during the hours of 12 am – 7 am.
3) No trailer, camper, mobile home, commercial vehicle, truck (other than a standard-size pick-up truck), boat, or inoperable vehicle will be allowed in the community.

House Notes: During the hot summer nights, it's possible to encounter some gentle insects such as crickets, etc.. Rest assured, our property undergoes regular pest control treatments, though a few may still make an appearance. To ensure the upkeep of our surroundings, our diligent pool maintenance and landscaping team may visit the property during the week for service. Your comfort is importance, and we strive to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for your stay.

We've positioned security cameras outside, with one on the front door and another in the corner of the backyard, to enhance safety during your stay. Moreover, there's a noise monitoring device in the living room to ensure adherence to local noise regulations during quiet hours.
