HOUSE RULES
SHARED PROPERTY DISCLOSURE This property includes two separate homes: the Villa and the Casita. Each has its own private entrance and dedicated parking. The pool, hot tub, BBQ, firepit, and all outdoor amenities are reserved exclusively for Villa guests. Casita guests do not have access to these shared outdoor areas. If you would like to enjoy the full property and its outdoor amenities, please book Hacienda Tierra Alta (the entire estate).
9PM QUIET HOURS & NOISE MONITORING Our home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood, and we ask that you help keep the environment calm for everyone. Please be mindful of noise levels and bring conversations and activities inside after 9:00 PM and before 8:00 AM. The City’s Noise Ordinance is strictly enforced. Parties or any disturbances that violate the ordinance will result in fines of $1,000 to $10,000 and immediate eviction without a refund. Sound levels are monitored inside and outside the property through NoiseAware, but there are no recordings to respect guest privacy.
NOT A PARTY HOUSE We love hosting guests who appreciate a peaceful atmosphere! Please keep in mind that this is NOT a party house, and neighbors can be sensitive to noise, especially late at night. If you're planning to have late-night gatherings or be a bit louder, we kindly ask that you consider other options, as we want to ensure a peaceful environment for everyone. Thank you so much for your understanding!
GUEST CAPACITY There is an additional guest fee of $50 per guest, per night after the 14th guest. Other than overnight guests, no other persons are permitted on the property without our explicit approval. Any changes to the guest count must be made before booking, or with our explicit approval. If guest count is more than the number of approved guests on the reservation, guests will be removed with no refund.
POOL & SPA HEATING Heating is optional and available upon request prior to your stay. The daily fee is $200 for pool + spa or $100 for spa only. When activated, the pool is maintained at approximately 82°F and the spa at 101°F during pool hours (8 AM – 9 PM). Please note that the system operates on a timed schedule and periodically resets, so the spa temperature may fluctuate and may not always remain exactly at 101°F.
EVENTS No events or gatherings are allowed without prior written authorization. Please inquire if you have special plans that require our approval. Additional fees will apply depending on the event.
CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT Check-in is available at 3:00 PM, and check-out is at 10:00 AM. We need this time to properly prepare the home for future guests. Unfortunately, early check-ins or late check-outs are not possible if another guest is arriving or departing on the same day.
