CHECK OUT CHECK LIST

Check out time is 11am unless you have made prior arrangements. Early check in and late check out options are available whenever possible. Message us through your booking site to make arrangements. Happy to help : )
• Make sure all doors and windows are locked and the entire house is secure before leaving the home.
• Turn Heat and/or A/C OFF. Turn OFF all lights, appliances, and the gas to the BBQ. If you opted for the fire pit, fireplace and pool heater, please be sure to turn the pool heat off using the app or the remote as well as the fire pit.
• Dishware and cookware must be cleaned and put away OR placed neatly in the dishwasher. Please do not run the dishwasher if it wont be finished before you depart. Our cleaning crew will take care of that.
• Place all garbage in bags (provided under the sink and in laundry room) and in the containers outside. The containers are located by the large gate on the Sunrise side of the property. No need to move the containers. They are picked up every Monday by our local Palm Springs disposal company in the morning.
• Lower all sun umbrellas to the down position when not in use and upon departure and place back in the covered area. I am sure you noticed the windmills as you drive around town. Palm Springs is known for severe winds on occasion and the umbrellas will break if left open.
• Remove any and all food items left out on counters. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Please make sure to check for your personal belongings, including cellphone and chargers, toiletries and jewelry, etc. Though we are happy to use our partner myexpressfreight.com to ship you anything you may have left at The Colony House, at your expense, we will not be responsible for missing items.

IMPORTANT HOUSE INFORMATION:
POOL SERVICE AND GARDENERS:
For your comfort and convenience we have the pool serviced between 2-4 times a week and the gardener weekly. The pool man usually comes Mondays and Thursday. Both the pool man and the gardener have access to the property, not to the inside of the home. Please be aware, so you are not startled or caught off guard as they come in unannounced.

TRASH AND RECYCLING:
Pick up is every Monday. For your convenience we pay the town extra for a walk in service. This means that the garbage service will take the two bins from inside the gate and place it outside the gate for pick up Monday morning. Monday evening they will return the bins to their original location.

SPA:
If you opted for the heater option for the pool and spa the pool will be set to 85 degrees on your behalf so that it is always warm for you day and night! Please do not touch any other pool equipment. Pool equipment is very expensive and any damage will result in service being billed back to you. Please use the remote left for you on the counter.

SPA HEATER:
You can set the heater as high as 102 degrees. This is a 400,000 BTU pool heater which is extremely strong. You only need the heater on for about 25 minutes to achieve a very high temperature. When finished PLEASE PLEASE remember to turn off the heater with the remote. Also please remember to let us know if you would like the pool heat and Jacuzzi heat prior to your arrival. We cannot guarantee the pool to be at any certain temperature if you don’t let us know. The pool will take up to 48 hours to heat up in the winter time. It is $150 a day for the heat. Includes a fireplace and a fire pit plus heat for pool and jacuzzi and the waterfall. We just need to know a bit in advance so we can pre-warm the pool for you. It takes up to 48 hours in the winter months If you prefer just the jacuzzi it’s $100 a day.
POOL & SPA LIGHTS:
Pool and Spa Lights are operated from the remote as well.
TV:
The house has Time Warner Cable (Spectrum) and the TVs are smart TVs for Netflix, Roku, Amazon Prime.
CHILDREN:
CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 17 ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE POOL AND YARD UNATTENDED AT ANY TIME. ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES. Of course swim at your own risk.

PETS:
I am one of the biggest animal lovers around. We want to keep your pets safe 100% of the time. Please DO NOT under any circumstance leave your animals outside unattended. You are in the desert. Your animal will become pray to one of our local and normally harmless mountain animals that come down looking for food. Not to mention it gets VERY HOT in the sun year round. Your pet belongs inside. Unfortunately, we do not allow any other animal besides dogs at this property. There is a fee of $250 for animal waste left on the property and a $250 excessive cleaning fee if there is dog hair on the furniture. Please be responsible and ask your pet to stay off the furniture and enjoy his or her dog bed. Please no pups in the pool...
Please be sure to let us know before you arrive if you will have any pups with you (maximum 1 unless otherwise noted). Our gardeners and pool guys come on specific days but sometimes they adjust their days to accommodate the rental schedule, holidays and weather. We are not responsible for any issues while your pets are on property.

BBQ:
The BBQ has a refillable propane tank. If you run out of propane and need it replaced before we can get a new one to you, please send us the receipt and we will reimburse you for the gas.

WATERFALL:
Our waterfall is an amazing 25’ wall of tranquil water.

An Amazing House With An AMAZING Host!

This place is incredible, one of my favorites in Palm Springs! My friends & I stayed here for a bachelorette weekend and we absolutely loved it. The host was just a phone call away for anything we needed and was SUPER responsive. I give him 10 stars!!! He was so awesome. The beds were super comfy, the pool and jacuzzi were luxury and beautiful, and the heat works super fast on both. We loved the place so much and would for sure stay there again!

2nd time back and looking forward to round 3 next year!

I don't leave reviews and I never visited a place twice on Vrbo. But this place... it's the exception. I totally enjoyed my July 4th visit. The location is awesome and the home spectacular! The house is update to date with Alexa available to control the home features. Gerald is very responsive and helpful. I gave him text about locating the pool remote and within 10-mins he contacted me with all that I needed to know. No complaints from me, only positive comments here.

Great home in a great location.

Wonderful house in a great location. Exactly as described in the listing. The owner was very responsive to questions, and an issue with the hot tub. Our dogs were in heaven exploring the yard, and lounging with their people by the pool. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend in Palm Springs!

Lovely and modern pet friendly house in PS

We booked this trip for my 31st birthday and thanks to Gerald and his lovely home it was the best birthday yet! :) Gerald was a LOVELY host who was extremely accommodating and responsive from booking till the end of the trip. Gerald strives to provide an amazing 5 star experience. The house is super cute and modern. I notice one small issue on arrival, but the house manager came over ASAP to fix. After the manager left, Gerald called me immediately to apologize and even offered to drive from LA to PS if needed. The pool/spa are a nice size and well-maintained. The new daybed outside has a mattress that is as comfy as the beds in the house! For all you grill snobs, you have the option of using a propane or a gas grill! My dogs enjoyed running around in the fenced-in yard. This house is a puppy paradise! If you’re looking to adopt a dog, Gerald has an AMAZING offer for guests that adopt a dog from a local shelter during their stay. The beds and sheets are comfy and of high quality. Check this place out!

About the host

Hosted by Gerald Katen

Host profile image
Hey All. My name is GK. I love to entertain and I love to cook. I also travel a lot for work, so my properties will most likely have some cool knickknacks from my travels around the world. I've lived all over the place - from Dubai to Egypt, Los Angeles to Hong Kong. I own an import company that keeps me on the road most of the year and I LOVE IT! I have a love for dogs, really any animal, and on the board of a few animal charities.

Why they chose this property

THIS IS THE PROPERTY FOR YOU! I bought the property and did massive renovation to it so it is light, bright and perfect for entertaining on an intimate level to a party level. The pool is big enough for you and all your friends and the hot tub gets so hot you can relax your muscles after a long day enjoying all that Palm Springs has to offer. OR simply relax by the oversized firepit or pick a piece of fruit from one of our trees. We have LEMON, LIME, ORANGE, TANGERINE, Blood Orange and FIG trees around the property. Some are newly planted and some are aged trees! we also have blackberries, mint and basil growing to help you out should you want to make some cool mixed drinks poolside.
