Hopefully this covers your questions.

Only lodging has been paid. Expenses you can expect to pay:

If / when we want to go in the Spa, we need to switch the heater to the spa but then we need to remember to switch back to the pool!!!
Food and drinks
For those staying Thursday-Sunday, you can expect to pay for the meal we cook Thursday night at the house. For everyone else, we plan to use Costco for stocking the house for snacks, drinks and other food for people to eat throughout the weekend. We’ll use Splitwise for the weekend to account for costs where applicable.

House rules
Sorry. Need to post these here. We’re a big group so please don’t fuck this up for everyone.
QUIET HOURS: From 9pm-7am residents are asked to refrain from any loud noise outside or emanating from the home. This includes talking loudly, playing music outside or inside with the windows open. Any fines received from the city will be the responsibility of the guests to reimburse. Consistent complaints from neighbors, or any police activity will result in guests being asked to leave without refund.
Most important is after 9pm, we need to move “party” inside. I told them we plan to have game nights and karaoke etc. and they said as long as it's inside after 9, it should be fine.
They have noise measuring devices in the houses that alert them when music hits a certain decibel. Any city fines will be our responsibility if reported by neighbors.
CARS: Number of cars will be provided to the property manager before the weekend inclusive of all three properties. Do not park in front of neighbors’ garages and do your best to make sure the cars don’t look like there’s a huge event or party at the house. Cars should stay at their respective property based on where you’re sleeping, not all parked at one property.
What do we need to do to checkout?
CLEANING REQUIREMENTS:
A starter supply of expendable supplies such as paper goods and soap is provided. Basic cleaning supplies are stocked to do your own cleaning during your stay. Housekeeping is not provided during your stay unless previously arranged. Failure to comply with pre-departure cleaning requirements resulting in excessive cleaning will be charged to your credit card at $45/hour, with a one-hour minimum:
• Place soiled towels in the laundry room or bathroom if laundry room is not in unit/home.
• All dirty dishes, cookware and eating utensils should be washed, rinsed, put in the dishwasher. We ask that you also start the load.
• Floors should be in generally good condition and ready to be vacuumed by our housekeepers.
• All household trash, garbage, recycling and/or other discarded items should be properly bagged up so as to avoid spillage/leakage, and deposited in the proper refuse containers provided. Please do your best to help us recycle by hauling it out with you.
• Refrigerator and microwave should be left clean and free of food.
• All appliances (stove, oven, BBQ, etc.) should be left in a clean condition and free of spills and grease.
• Please wipe down counters and other surfaces.
• All litter must be picked up from the premises and placed in the outside garbage cans, tied securely in trash bags.
• Please try not to leave any pet hair in the home! Duct tape works great on furniture and may be provided with our other cleaning supplies.
**GLITTER AND CONFETTI ARE NOT ALLOWED AT ANY PROPERTY, INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. **
Smoking
Smoking is NOT permitted in the Property under any circumstance. Smoking is allowed outside as long as butts and ashes are not left behind. Discard the butts and ashes in the outside garbage after extinguishing. Do not throw butts on the ground (including the fire ring – if applicable) or bring them into the house. If there is any tobacco or marijuana smell in the home after your departure, there will be a minimum $350 and up to $2,500 charge for smoke remediation.
