Pool Water Feels Cold Is The Heater Working?

Question 13

I Am Not Happy With Something In The Home?

We give all of our guests the ability to reach us by text/phone 24/7 and they have several contact numbers. We encourage you to notify us within 4 hours of arrival if you have an issue. If something breaks during your stay you should notify us as soon as possible. We have the ability to correct most issues the same day. It is very sad when a guest says they had an issue during their stay that we could have quickly & easily corrected, but they didn't notify us until days after their stay.

Question 14

Pest Control

Accepted Answer

All of our homes have regular monthly pest control services. This does not mean you will never see a spider/bug/ant, etc. They can enter the home anytime in-between services. On the day of service and up to a couple of days after, it is also normal to have a few bugs show up in the home. Having regular service does mean our homes are as bug-free as possible. Regarding ants/gnats; they show up when there is food left out. If you leave food all over the home you will get ants/gnats in any house in town. This does not mean you can't set food out for eating. It means that if you eat and leave crumbs of food all over the place or leave old food on dishes for days, you will most likely get ants/gnats. Our pest control company offers complimentary service anytime in-between regular service, as needed – you just need to give us a call.

Question 15

We only book our homes on reputable sites such as VRBO/Homeaway, Flipkey, etc. Our listing on Craiglist only direct you to the sites we book on.
