- **Amenity notice**:Before Using the Shades
It is important to only use the remote to operate the shades or app control if available, as pulling on them can cause them to break. You may refer to the home manual below to see more instructions on how to use the shades. Please contact Concierge for any issues.
Before Using the Thermostat
When air units are on, please keep doors and windows closed so the air units don’t break. If you’d like windows or doors open, turn off the thermostat to prevent the unit from breaking.
Before Using the Hot Tub and the Pool
Important notice for guests: Rinsing off before you go to the hot tub or pool could help us clear the water of impurities for you and your crew. Also, don't forget to shower thoroughly using soap and shampoo after using the hot tub, in order to wash off any chemical residue.
Maintenance: We service the pool and hot tub's water every Tuesday to ensure it remains clean and healthy. This includes chemical balancing (chlorine/bromine and other chemicals), skimming, vacuuming, and tub brushing & filter cleaning as required.
Using the Pool and Hot Tub Cover
Please keep the pool and hot tub covers on when not in use to maintain cleanliness and prevent the water from evaporating. No pets are allowed on the pool cover.
Using the Outdoor Shower
Please note that during the winter season, the water for this shower is turned off to prevent burst pipes.
Before Using the Toilet
Please do not flush products other than toilet paper down the toilet (not even 'flushable' items).
Hot Water
You may notice a temporary sulfur-like odor when running hot water from the sinks or showers. This can occasionally occur due to routine water system or heater maintenance. Running the hot water for a short period should help clear the odor.
