Positives:
- Neighborhood is nice and quiet
- It's close to downtown
- For two couples, it's a very livable space, though not large
- Bedrooms are both nicely sized, with King beds
- Nice yard with areas for sun and shade. Nice pool and hot tub
- Responsive company. We had a corroding kettle (should've already been replaced) that they quickly replaced when we mentioned it.
- Good property information notebook.
- Property was clean and everything was in good working order.
Negatives and other things to know
- This is not a luxury property, though they're not charging for for that either. It's updated, but an older property.
- I would recommend doing the virtual tour so you really get an idea of the layout of the inside, and realize things like the master bathroom is very small, though functional enough.
- The hot tub works, but you don't have control over the jets.
- Know that when you stay in this part of town, close up to the mountain, you lose the sun over the mountain quite a bit earlier than say, Palm Desert. In early February, we'd lose the sun at 4pm.
- Internet was not great. Wifi didn't work well in the backyard. Even cellular (Verizon) didn't work well in the backyard (or even downtown)
- There's a big sign in the backyard (plus info in the handbook) warning you of a $500 Fine + Eviction, per city ordinance, stating things like "No music outdoors at any time," and "No inside noise or music audible outdoors," So if you wanted to play some music at a low volume on an outdoor bluetooth speaker, you're out of luck. I know it's not a rule of this specific house, but it's overbearing, and it would've been nice to know beforehand. Hopefully by the time you read this, it'll be in the property description.
