- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
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. Homes with a private pool & jacuzzi can be heated for an additional fee. 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.
