Some of our units offer hot tubs. Please observe and adhere to all rules and policies as posted at the unit regarding the safe use of the hot tub. The hot tub and surrounding patio/deck can be dangerous and maybe slippery when wet. You accept and assume all risks involved in or related to the use of the hot tub and patio/deck areas and release Keystone Vacation Rentals and the home owner from any and all liability or loss that may result in connection with the use of the hot tub. Keystone Vacation Rentals makes no guarantees related to the hot-tub and its use.  All rental charges collected by Keystone Vacation Rentals are explicitly for the rental of the property and do not encompass value added items such as hot tubs. 

Please note that due to the extreme weather at the coast and frequent power failures/surges hot tubs may need to be reset upon arrival (instructions are provided for in condos with hot tubs) and time allotted for the temperature of the water to heat to the desired setting.  Additionally, due to the frequent use of the hot tubs they sometimes do require draining before a guest’s arrival.  As a result, the temperature of the water may not be to the desired setting and time will be needed for the water to heat.

Although we cannot guarantee the operation of all appliances, utilities and equipment (e.g. air conditioning, Wi-Fi, pool equipment, hot tubs, kitchen appliances, televisions, etc.) our staff makes every reasonable effort to ensure that the equipment, utilities and appliances are in working order. Agents, authorized employees or repairmen may enter the premises for purposes connected with repair, care, or maintenance of the rental property. We will do our utmost to have any malfunction repaired in a timely manner.  However, Keystone assumes no liability for malfunctioning items and does not offer refunds for equipment, utility or appliance failure.  Please contact the office immediately if you encounter a problem.

For rentals where a security deposit is not collected or required, Guest authorizes Keystone Vacation Rentals to charge Guest's credit card in the event of any damage, theft, loss of items from the rental unit, excessive cleaning (examples of which include excessive trash disposal, excessive laundering, upholstery or carpet shampooing, etc.), and all other damages beyond normal wear and tear, whether intentional or accidental,  as determined by Management.  Guest agrees to and understands that the fore mentioned charges will occur after departure from the rental unit (delayed or amended charges) and hereby authorizes these charges as determined by Management. 

If, due to Guest’s use of the hot tub, the hot tub requires draining, there is a $25 charge (applies only to units with hot tubs).  Furniture should not be moved in any unit.  There is a $30 per hour (one hour minimum) charge to return moved furniture to its proper location.

The unit was professionally cleaned prior to arrival and the cleaning charge covers the professional cleaning at the time of departure.  Daily maid service is not included in your reservation but is available at an additional charge.  Please contact Management ahead of time to make arrangements.

Many of our rental properties are located in mixed-use neighborhoods that include both short-term guests and year round residents.
