- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT? Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation upon request. Please reach out for the cost and availability.
WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY? All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of 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.
DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE? TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee.
CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED? Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings.
WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS? All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper.
There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets.
CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME? We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered.
DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS? Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Palm Desert.
DO YOU ALLOW PETS? Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.
The property has exterior security cameras for guest safety and home protection. Vrbo requires hosts to inform guests of any such or device. These surveillance devices are only located on the exterior of the property.

Super Responsive Host to a Home with a Few Issues
The listing was accurate, and the neighborhood is quiet with a great view. We had a few issues with the hot tub being poorly maintained and mice in the house. The host was great and promptly got folks out the same day but it would have been better to not have to had issues in the first place.

Perfect getaway for 2 famililes
Me and my buddy wanted to go away for Memorial Weekend and chose this spot to bring both of our families. I chose this spot because it looked like it had a lot of amenities because we were hoping not to really leave the house for the majority of our stay.
I'm so glad we chose this spot because there were so many things to do. We definitely utilized the pool, ping pong table, and movie room the most. The internet was fast enough to handle all of the children who spent the evenings gaming or streaming movies.
We had 9 to our party and pretty sure it could have easily handled more. Highly recommend staying here!

Great house
We stayed for a weekend and it was a great house. The management company was super helpful (we had trouble figuring out the remote - it was easy to use we were just being dumb, and a beeping went off at one point because of heat from the stove) and the management company responded immediately to our questions. Great place

50th Anniversary
We chose this lovely home for a family gathering to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had 10 adults and one child and honestly there was plenty of room for everyone. There are so many sitting areas for reading, games, naps and conversation.
The pool is lovely, gets the morning sun and even in November was warm enough for swimming. Simply stunning!

First time VRBO experience
This was my first time using a VRBO and I could not have a picked a more perfect property and perfect host. Everything from the property to the amenities to the service made this a truly memorable celebration for my husband's birthday. We even got a recommendation for a personal chef to come cook for us during our stay which was an amazing treat. This property will be on our list for an annual visit.

Perfect spot for a spring break getaway with friends
Entertainment for all! We didn’t even get to the pool table, but the music was always on all over the house, ping pong games between kids, adults and kids vs parents, pool Olympics, putting competitions . . . and then we settled down into super-comfortable beds after watching a movie in the bunk room. What a great spot!

Family Vacation!
The pictures do not do this property justice! STUNNING! We had an amazing experience renting this home from the start. Jen was prompt to answer any questions we had and made the rental and payment experience seamless, as well as providing us with plenty of information on the area. Check in was super easy as well and management was prompt to check in with us to make sure we were settled in and not in need of anything as well as being available by text if we had questions. The house lent itself nicely to our group, having lots of space to spread out and plenty of toys and things to do. The ONLY negative comment I have was not being apprised of the construction taking place across the street. I know this is out of the owners control but still feel it would have been nice to have been told. Would definitely rent this property again as well as any property represented by this group as I thought they were fantatic.

One of our favorite family vacations to date!
We vacationed with our adult children and their spouses/boyfriends. Everyone agreed that The Summit is absolutely beautiful and the views are stunning. We spent a lot of time in the gorgeous pool and relaxing in the many sitting areas outdoors. Everyone enjoyed playing pool, ping pong and the putting green. In the evenings we would gather in the movie theater room for a movie. The décor was done to perfection and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The house comes well equipped with everything you need. We made dinner reservations for half of our trip ahead of time and on the other nights, each couple cooked or ordered in food for the group. The dinning room and outdoor dinning area was a perfect place to gather to eat. We recommend The Summit to anyone! We all agreed this was our all-time favorite vacation home!
