No diving, rough play, or glass containers in or around the pool. Please note: there is no hot tub on the property.

Good to know:
- The property is near train tracks, so you may occasionally hear passing trains. Kids especially love watching the trains go by right from the backyard!
- A detached backyard casita is currently under renovation and is not accessible to guests. You may hear construction noise or see workers during your stay.
- The washer and dryer are located in the garage, which is also being used to store construction materials and furniture for the renovation — it may be cluttered, so please use caution.
