• WIFI
Please note the wifi may be spotty at times due to the remote location of the home.
• BATHROOM
The Martian Rose has a toilet and a urinal in the bathroom
• NOISE
The Martian Rose is located close to the maritime base and can occasionally hear and feel the house shaking during their test “bombing”. It only happens occasionally and is only during the middle of the day.
• Critters
There are bugs, bats and other desert critters that frequent the outside area of the property. They're fun to watch, and will leave you alone but we just want to be sure everyone is aware that since it's a remote desert property, they are occasionally present.
• Security cameras
There are 2 and only 2 security cameras on the property. They are only for security of the property. The alerts are turned off when guest are staying at the house. The cameras are visible and in plan sight.
One is positioned at the entrance to the front door. It is aimed at the paths leading to the door, and does not look onto the front patio or at the hot tub.
The second is positioned at the entrance to the kitchen door and looks toward the tower.
There is no camera that looks at the back patio or the doors that lead from the bedrooms onto the patio, nor is there a camera that overlooks the uncovered patio with the fire pit.
• Pets
We loves pets and are really happy they come. We do recommend though that pets be supervised or preferably on a leash at all times when they are outside. The reason for not letting them have free run, is although the property is fenced, there are places where rains wash through natural channels and can open up spots under the fence that pets could crawl under.
Also there are things that would like to do harm to our furry friends, and not all of them are obvious. Even some of the plants are waiting for just the right moment to attack with thorns. I swear them cholla can fly. Always keep an eye on your little buddies. There are coyotes, hawks, vultures and owls to name a few that hunt for food in the desert.
• TOWER SHOWN IN PICTURES
the tower currently is not available for guest use. It's filled with the homeowners personal items and not accessible for guests.
