FAQ
Listed here are some of the most common questions potential renters want to know.
Q: Where do I look to see if my dates are available?
Q: What will my stay cost me?
A: Rates vary depending on the season and the length of stay as well as the days of the week.  The COST BREAKDOWN page should give you a very good idea of your total cost for the dates you want.  However, when you contact the site administrator through EMAIL or by phone (562)305-9111, you will receive a cost breakdown.
A: The pricing sheet breaks down all the costs.  There is a charge for the stay, a cleaning charge, a security deposit, and a pool heating charge (if applicable).  It's all out there for you to make an informed decision.  To be sure, it is always best to contact the site administrator for an accurate quote.
Q: Is there a minimum night stay?
A: No, there is no minimum required stay.  However, during the high season, I may enforce a minimum 3 day stay.  Shorter stays will be allowed for last minute bookings where the place would otherwise be empty.
Q: Will I get a price break if I reserve for more than one week?
A: The price structure is set up where you get a better deal the longer your stay.  There is a considerable price break when renting longer than 5 days and another price break when renting longer than 3 weeks.  Longer rental periods are available and can be negotiated on an individual basis.
Q: I have an animal I would love to bring.  What is your policy on pets?
A: The policy is no pets.  This is in no way meant to sound like an anti-pet sentiment but more in respect for others who will rent the place after you.  Many people are allergic to different types of pet dander.  To make the stay as comfortable for all, it is the policy at this time to not allow pets.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of people who can stay?
A: Pricing structure is based on 7 people - as the beds in the house only sleep 7.  Any additional guests is solely at the discretion of the owner and will incur an additional charge per person per night as well as additional security deposit and additional cleaning fee.
Q: What form of payment do you accept?
A: Currently I accept deposit and payment in the form of money order, cashier's cheque, personal check, Paypal or simply greenbacks.  All payment must be in USD.  For those wanting to pay by credit card, I  accept payment through Paypal which would require that you too have a paypal account with a credit card tied to your account.  However, because of the cost incurred by doing business through Paypal, I require an additional 3% above the stated rate (that's $3 for every $100).  International guests must pay through paypal, wire transfer or cash upon arrival.
Q: OK, the price is good, the dates are good, I want it... what do I do?
A: At this point, you will have gotten confirmation of your proposed dates and the price structure of your stay.  Email or call to state your intent to rent the place.  Deposit will be collected along with a form that will be sent to you limiting the owner's liability.  Once deposit is received and the form is returned signed, the dates you require will be blocked to anyone else wishing to book those same dates.
Q: You mentioned a form to sign... What if I don't agree to sign it?
A: This "form" is a simple statement that you have probably numerous times signed without realizing when you've agreed to their "terms and agreement" even though you might be hard pressed to find someone who's actually read those terms and agreements before they've signed.  It simply limits the owner's responsibility and puts responsibility back on the individual.  Like any hotel or place to stay, it is a requirement to stay.
