- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -

WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT?
Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation. There is a fee of $400 for both or $200 for either early check in or late check out.

WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY?
All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of 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.

DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE?
TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee.

CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED?
Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings.

WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS?
All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper.

There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets.

CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME?
We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered.

DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS?
Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Palm Desert.

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?
Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.

The property has exterior security cameras for guest safety and home protection. Vrbo requires hosts to inform guests of any such or device. These surveillance devices are only located on the exterior of the property.

Perfect spot for families who like to hike
Base Camp is at the foot of many hiking trails in Palm Desert, the location and the house are both amazing. The outdoor space is full of natural beauty. We stayed there for a few days and immediately booked a return stay. This house is our favourite.

Plenty of Space!
We stayed at Base Camp for 4 nights and had a blast! We had at least 1 person in each room and had plenty of space, it did not feel crowded at all. I believe that Parties planning on staying there at maximum occupancy could do so and be very comfortable. The back yard is also very spacious and the pool has plenty of chair and towels and umbrellas — it feels like you’re at a resort pool. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment, flatware, cutlery, etc. (unlike some vacation homes) and the bedrooms have plenty of towels and soaps — all the necessities Would definitely recommend!

Great Desert Getaway
We had a great time! Really enjoyed the beach volleyball court, that was a big highlight! The view from the jacuzzi is gorgeous, very peaceful. All mattresses were very comfortable, everyone was appreciative of that. Bathroom accessibility was a problem in the sense that only 4 of the 9 bedrooms had a bathroom connected to them. Overall, it was a great home and we had a wonderful trip.

Outstanding and gorgeous property. Beautiful and well appointed. Wonderul semi private setting. Its exactly as described and photographed.We had a great and fun time with all the outdoor pools and games. The Hammocks are a plus and so is the fire pit and the outdoor BBQ and dining area - so beautiful. Indoors well appointed with suble, calming, beautiful furnishings and great beds! One very slight issue - need more bath/toilets for the number of bedrooms they have as the present numbers not sufficient in my experience - although I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Our office stayed here for our visioning retreat weekend, and it was perfect for what we needed! The bedrooms were spacious, the kitchen was perfect for hosting our team dinners, and everything was clean and nicely furnished.

Base Camp is all it is said to be in the other reviews and more! The photos make it look great but don't do it justice because it is all at least as good as it looks in the photos.
