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.

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.

Perfect!

I stayed for a month and had friends visit a week at a time. It was perfect since both bedrooms are King beds with bathrooms and an extra powder room. The many fireplace features were welcome ambience in the cooler evenings. Two of my visitors went to the Indian Wells Tennis event and loved the close convenience. Polo fields also very close and intriguing! The Vare Property Management team took care of our every need.
