- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT?
Check-in time is 4 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m. Early check-in and late check-out may be available for your reservation.

WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY?
Our homes are keyless entry, we issue 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.

WHAT ARE THE POOL HOURS? ARE THEY HEATED?
Puerta Azul community: The two community pools are heated year-round and are open 7 am – 11 pm. Homes with a private pool & jacuzzi can be heated for an additional fee. Check individual listing for info.

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?
Certain non-shedding hypoallergenic dogs will be considered at an additional fee. Service animals are permitted, and the fee is waived for such situations (however the animal is never permitted to be in the unit alone if it is a service animal). Please note we do not allow any pets other than dogs.

IMPORTANT: VARE is committed to protecting our properties which is why we've partnered with Know Your Guest, the leading vacation rental guest-screening provider.

Desert Getaway

We enjoyed the home. Perfect for our family of 4. Communication was super easy, even brought us a wine opener within 10 minutes of asking. The garage is a little tight to park in but no worries, there are some spaces on the street steps away from the front door. Pools were awesome, the kids really enjoyed the stay. We’d book again.

Disappointed

The dishwasher didn't work, the gas for the grill outside was difficult to find and get at. The bed sheets in the master were a joke, paper thin and wouldn't stay on the mattress. The garage door has a mind of its own....not our most memorable accommodation

Excellent location and beautiful community

We stayed at this property for three weeks in January 2023. The home is quite lovely, and freshly painted. Situated very close to one of the two beautiful community pools, it was perfectly situated for our needs. The layout was thoughtful in design, especially if you had four people, as each bedroom had privacy. The home also had ample space when we had two to four friends over for dinner. The kitchen is adequately stocked with everything we needed, and the BBQ worked well. The backyard space is quiet, and private,, as is the entire neighborhood. The landscaping is well maintained., and the streets and grounds are nice to walk. The home has lots of natural light in all rooms, which is wonderful. For us, however, we like dark rooms when sleeping…..so we bought paper blackout shades at Home Depot. Worked great. The one car garage is a challenge to use if you have a larger car or smaller SUV, as it is at sharp angle, but we got used to it. You might want to pull in your side mirrors. The property also has two additional parking permits available, which was handy when we had our friends visit. Since we are golfers, being located right next to the PGA West courses, plus dozens of other courses within a 15 minute drive, is fabulous. Finally, the property manager was very efficient and quick to handle the few issues we had, which is always very important for a guest. We would stay at this property again.
