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.

SMOKING POLICY?
Smoking is allowed in outdoor areas only. No smoking is permitted inside the home or near doors, windows, or any interior spaces. Please dispose of cigarette butts responsibly. Any smoking violations may result in additional fines, extra cleaning charges, and potential loss of security deposit.

Your comfort is importance, and we strive to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for your stay.

The home was amazing for our stay. We came for the Sandstorm Lacrosse tournament. It was perfect location to the tourney. The home is set up with two master bedroom en suites that worked wonderfully for our family. We made dinner and watched a movie one night and the kitchen had everything we needed to make a lovely family dinner. On our check out day we needed a late check out so our kids could shower after their games. They graciously gave us a 5 pm check out. I would definitely stay again.

Access to the heated pool, spa, gym and tennis was definitely a plus for our stay, despite the weather: we were hoping to relax by the pool in shorts, but the weather decided otherwise: puffer jackets, fleece, long pants and long sleeves! The house was very clean and beautiful. Parking in the garage was convenient, but no large vehicle would fit. We had our dog with us and all went well there. He was very happy running around in and out of the house, as well as being walked in the pretty residence. The only issue we had was that the fridge water/ice dispenser was not working. The property management company tried their best to get it fixed in time, but it ended up requiring a replacement part that would come in after we had left. Bottled water worked fine instead. Check in was a little stressful as we had not received the gate and door codes in advance. But we called the property manager when we arrived and realized that we did not know how to get in the community. They were very helpful and patient! Thanks!

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.
