SPA/JACUZZI HEATING: FREE! :)
POOL HEATING: Heating outdoor pools in Palm Springs requires large amounts of natural gas, so heating with natural gas will incur an extra fee and will be billed prior to your arrival. If you`d like the pool heated please mention it in your reservation request and we`ll let you know the details - heating the pool up to a comfortable temperature (82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on how cool it is outside) takes approximately 18 hours.
ENERGY CAP: Our home is highly energy efficient, well insulated w/ solar panels. However, to encourage responsible behavior (e.g. keeping doors and windows closed while AC/heat is running) there is an energy cap of $70 per week. For reference, our monthly energy bill during the hottest months in Palm Springs is no more than $125 - (and we like the house cool in the summer and warm in winter...).
SECURITY: For security of the property when it`s *unoccupied*, we have security cameras. All cameras except for the front doorbell will be disabled during your stay. There are LED indicator lights on all cameras to verify on/off. We also have decibel (noise level) monitoring to ensure no one gets fined by the City of Palm Springs due to vacation rental noise ordinances.
