~ Trash Pickup:
**These instructions are also tucked in the house manual binder for quick reference**

The large outdoor trash cans should be rolled to the curb on Sunday and Wednesday evenings for pickup the following morning. If you do not want to handle this task, just make us aware ahead of time, and our property manager will take care of it.


~ Community Amenities:

Any community amenities, including the pool, are accessed with the keycard in the wooden bowl by the front door.

If you take advantage of any of the community amenities, including the pool or courts, please follow all posted signs and rules regarding their use.

~ ~ ~ VERY IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE NOTE:
The community pool is only open during the summer months and is closed for cleaning 1 day per week.


~ Summer only:
We have a temporary AC unit installed in the breakfast nook, by the back door. This is in addition to the central HVAC. Our summers are so hot and humid that if you try to cool the entire house below 72 degrees during the day, using only the central unit, it will continuously struggle to keep up. We prefer to be kept cool, and we want our guests comfortable, hence the extra help of the temporary AC. Ceiling fans and portable fans should also be utilized in the event a guest needs to maintain a cold temperature in the sizzling Texas heat. The HVAC is outfitted with a whole home UV air sanitizer. A separate continuously running dehumidifier, in the dining room area, assists with removing additional summer moisture from the home. Finally, there is a magnetically mounted umbrella shading the outdoor condenser coils from the blazing sun.

~ Not a rule, but a request:
When it’s warmer outside, we ask that our guests leave the ceiling fans on at all times. The reason is simple: It’s hot and humid here! The fans keep the air moving which assists the HVAC in the dehumidifying & cooling process. Keeping our fans running helps us to use less electricity overall & aids in the prevention of mold & odors inside our home.


~ PET & SERVICE ANIMAL REQUIREMENTS:

All animals must be vaccinated, potty trained and/or contained, well behaved, properly groomed & medicated/treated for pests such as fleas, ticks, & any other parasites, viruses, or bacterial infections.

Animals must not cause any damage to the property. If your animal causes damage to the property, please report it immediately. Accidental damages happen occasionally, and we need to be able to address them before the next guest checks in.

Animals are NEVER permitted on our furniture. If your animal normally gets in bed or on the couch with you, that is NOT ALLOWED here!

We absolutely DO NOT allow animals on the furniture AT ALL, EVER. If your animal must be crated/kenneled to keep them off the furniture & out of the beds, then you are REQUIRED to use a crate/kennel. A medium size wire kennel is available upon request, at no additional charge.


~ Other animal rules & notes about animal accommodations:

We hope you will make use of the animal door large enough to accommodate an extra-large dog.

Our community has a leash law. Please respect it.

We are not responsible for the health or safety of your animal(s) at any time, or under any circumstances.

Any animal waste must be removed from our yards.

Basic food & water bowls are in the pantry.

Animal waste baggies have been provided for your convenience.

Drapes & Blinds:
Operating the miniblinds is pretty easy. They’re magnetic. Just grab the bottom and raise them slowly. Please leave the blinds raised if you think your animal may damage them by trying to move them, bite them, or climb them! The same goes for the drapes. They can be pulled up over the curtain rod in the event that your animal can’t/won’t leave them alone.
