Please be warned... Even though we access the parking garage through a locked gate, you should still always lock your car. There have been a few incidents, so please be safe!
RESERVATIONS
When you want to make a reservation, you need to go directly to your Parent Sib to confirm your plans. They will need to know the maximum number of people who will be there during your stay. Also, keep in mind that one of Roy's descendants needs to be with the group during your stay. Ultimately, your parent is the one who can give you the go-ahead. Then, your parent will email your reservation request to Paul (plindorf[at]gmail.com) and your reservation will show up on the calendar. It is always a good idea to check the calendar to make sure your reservation actually got scheduled. For your reference, here is the link to the 401 reservation calendar: 401 Calendar It is also good to check this website for new updates or notices.
GENERAL RESERVATION GUIDELINES
1. Any party may reserve time as far ahead as 1 year in advance, on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. If you must cancel and reschedule, please notify Teena a minimum of 30 days prior to your scheduled visit to maintain your ability to transfer your time to another available date. If you cancel 15 days or fewer before your visit, you forfeit that time to other parties and lose that portion of your Parent Sibs' allotted time for that season.
3. Any party may reserve Unit 401 within 15 days in advance of unscheduled time, without it counting toward their Parent's allotted time for the season.
SUMMER SEASON
This season runs from the Saturday before Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. Because of higher demand, the summer season requires special consideration.
1. Each of the Sibs' families is allotted 2 weeks of reserved time.
2. Reservation times in the summer season must be reserved in one week intervals, from Saturday (noon) to Saturday (noon). These weeks can be scheduled back-to-back or independently.
OFF SEASON
From Labor Day to Memorial Day, the scheduling can be more flexible.
1. Each of the Sibs' families is allotted 6 weeks of reserved time.
2. Reservations in the off season may begin and end on ANY day of the week.
HOLIDAYS
In order that popular holidays be spread out evenly among the sibs, we have developed a historical, tracking plan. (Here's the link- Holidays) For a particular holiday, any Sib's family who has not booked it before, or who has booked it the least often can book up to a year ahead, just like any other time period. If you've already had a holiday booking once for that holiday, you can only book within 6 months of the date. If you've had that holiday twice or more, then you can only book it if it's still available 3 months out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT DO WE NEED TO BRING?
-- There are a few boogie boards available, some sand/beach toys for the kids, and a beach umbrella or two (in the entry closet).
-- We have established a new game cupboard, with a dozen or so games in it already. If you have any games that are gathering dust, please feel free to add them to our collection.
-- We have also assembled quite a reading library in the Office/Den, but there are still a couple of empty shelves. It would be great to get a few additional books for variety.
-- There are 2 working TVs with DVD/VCR players in the Living Room and the Office/Den. The TV in the Living Room has a Roku with lots of channels including Netflix and Plex. Our DVD and VHS selections are currently pretty slim. If any of you are getting rid of your VHS movies, they would be put to good use in 401.
HOW DO WE GET IN? Each Parent Sib has been provided with keys to the condo doors and the outside gates. You need to make arrangements through your parent. The clickers for the parking garage gate are in the the right drawer of the black credenza in the Blue Suite of Unit 401. Make sure they end up there when you leave! There are THREE clickers and THREE sets of keys.
WHERE DO WE PARK? Initially, you'll need to park in guest parking, which is located just under the building and before the parking garage gate. Once you've picked up a clicker in 401 (which opens the parking garage gate), you can park in one of our assigned parking spaces: 18, 19, or 20.
WHAT ABOUT INTERNET ACCESS? (updated info 22 June 2015)
Wireless internet access is available, so bring your laptop and mobile devices. We are no longer sharing a connection with Unit 301. The modem and router are on the pink side. You will be able to log into the wireless router by the TV in Unit 401 with the following SSID: "401 Pink". When you're going to be primarily on the blue side you will likely get better signal by logging into the access point: "401 Blue". If for some reason you cannot connect to either of these sources try "roynmyla" from the pink side. The password for all connections is:
IS THERE A PHONE IN UNIT 401? There is no land line phone in 401. You'll have to use your cell phones. If you bring your own Magic Jack Plus you can use an available jack on the access point in the office.
HOW DO WE GET HOT WATER FASTER? There are hot water pump buttons (they look like door bells) located on the right side of the kitchen sink and in the Pink Suite bathroom. Push these buttons, and then in about 3 minutes you should have hot water. Update 2015: The pump under the kitchen sink never turns off, so it has been unplugged. Please leave it unplugged. Just rinse the dishes while loading the dishwasher and it will be hot by the time you turn it on. Do not run the dishwasher with cold water - the dishes won't get as clean. There is a new water heater that has a "smart" mode to save energy. Sometimes that means you won't have hot water right away in the shower in the Blue Suite. We're still trying to figure that one out!
WHY DOESN'T THE OVEN WORK? The oven does work, it just takes about 30 minutes to pre-heat properly. Plan your meals accordingly and please be patient with it. The bottom oven seems to work more consistently than the top.
WHERE DO WE EMPTY THE TRASH CANS? There is a trash chute on the 4th floor at the other end of the building. Go out the front door, follow the hallway to the end, where you should be facing a door. Open it and you'll find the trash chute. Do not put watermelon rinds or any other wet garbage in the trash compactor. It makes a terrible mess. Be careful that you don't "drip" or "spill" from your plastic bag of trash as you go down the hall to the trash chute. The plastic trash bags, which are made specifically for trash compactors, are in the low cupboard to the left of the trash compactor. Make sure everything you put down the chute is bagged (no loose refuse, please).
WHAT IF WE RUN OUT OF SUPPLIES? Barbara has stocked the unit with paper goods and cleaning supplies for the upcoming year. If you notice an item that is beginning to run low, notify Barbara, so she can make arrangements to have it re-stocked (bjcolter[at]gmail.com) or call Paul to see if he will approve your purchase for reimbursement. 949-698-7476.
WHERE CAN I GET INFORMATION ON LOCAL THINGS TO DO? Check out San Clemente's website. It is a super website, including a live surfcam.
WHAT IF I LEAVE SOMETHING THERE? We have a cupboard in the Family Room that is labeled and dedicated to retrieval.
-- LOST and FOUND Put the things in this cupboard that you find left over from the previous group. And be sure to check this cupboard for your things, the next time you're in 401.
-- UP FOR GRABS This cupboard is for the things that anyone can take. Right now there is some goldy/oldy piano sheet music just waiting for a new owner.
-- PLEASE CLAIM These are the things that have owners and they need to claim them and take them home with them. Be sure to check this cupboard every time you are there.

sanclemente
Note: there is no space. Type sanclemente as one word, all lower case.
If you have any problems, please call Paul at 949-698-7476 or 541-261-4645. (Yes it will ring in Oregon or wherever I may be). I will help you get connected. If no answer leave a number or email me and I'll call you back. Call Paul first and he will give you specific instructions if the internet is down. If the router, modem or access point needs to be "power cycled" you may unplug them, wait one minute then reconnect the power. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS ANYONE TO PUSH THE RESET BUTTON ON ANY OF THESE DEVICES AS THIS WILL RESULT IN REVERTING THE SETTINGS TO FACTORY DEFAULTS WHICH WILL RESULT IN YOUR NOT HAVING INTERNET AT ALL UNTIL THE DEVICES HAVE BEEN REPROGRAMMED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED....
The internet is currently active on the Sony workstation in the office of the condo. I have re-installed Windows on the Sony so it actually works now (if you're feeling lucky). The printer connected to the Sony also works. The power button is on the right hand side of the printer. Turn off when not in use.
WHAT ABOUT VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT & TV? (updated info 12 December 2015)
WHAT ABOUT VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT & TV? (updated info 12 December 2015)
TV Inputs:
Cycle through with the TV/Video button (top left) on the Sony remote
control. Cox cable TV is no longer available. Instead, try one of the options below:
Roku – Input 7
Chromecast – Input 6 (for streaming from your phone or iPad)
DVD (Magnavox) – Input 1
VHS is currently only available on the
TV in the office.
There are working remotes for the TV, DVD, and Roku in the pink suite as of 12/12/15. You can run the Chromecast device from your phone or iPad. The remote for the LG Blue ray player no longer works. For the office video devices there is a remote for the TV but you'll have to use the buttons on the players. The VHS is hooked up with an RCA (Red Yellow White) cable. If you want to use the DVD in the office you'll have to switch the connections.
Roku video streaming
info:
Netflix – Unit 401 has a paid
account. All content is no additional charge. To return to the
channel menu press the arrow button then “Exit Netflix”. Netflix
will stay logged in for the next user. DO NOT LOG OUT of the Netflix
account. If you get logged out for some reason the password is
“sanclemente.” Call Paul if you have problems with the username or login.
Subscription channels: You can log
into Amazon or other paid channels with your own credentials. Just
be sure to log out or someone behind you might charge something to
your bill.
PLEX - You may find streaming options available for a variety of commercial free TV shows and movies. Use the servers that are there or run your own from your laptop.
You may now rent edited streaming movies on VidAngel. The channel has been added to the Roku.

Mormon Channel and BYU TV are
available with unlimited use.
A variety of news channels have been
pre-selected. If you want to add an additional channel, go ahead if
it's free. If there is a fee you'll have to get approval from Paul. Good luck with that!
If anything is not working perfectly,
call Paul before trying to fix it yourself. You will save both of us
a lot of time and effort. 949-698-7476 or 541-261-4645.
AIR CONDITIONING? Yes and No. When you arrive it will be stuffy if the condo has been closed up for a while. Don't forget you're at the beach with a prevailing breeze. Most of the time, all you'll need to do to cool the unit down is open a few doors and windows and let the breeze blow all the hot air down the hallway (leave the entry doors open also). There really isn't any need for A/C 95 percent of the time. Also, if you feel compelled to turn on the A/C, be aware that the thermostat in the kitchen should NEVER be used because the unit will leak into the laundry room after a few minutes due to condensation drip. The drain is plugged and there is no way to access the drain to clear it. Best policy - leave it OFF! Update for Summer 2015 The A/C unit on the Pink side also leaks. Best to leave them all off and use fans if you're hot or open windows and doors and enjoy the sea breeze.
IS THERE A PHONE IN UNIT 401? There is no land line phone in 401. You'll have to use your cell phones. If you bring your own Magic Jack Plus you can use an available jack on the access point in the office.

CLEANING CHECKLIST
OVERALL
LINENS - Wash, dry, and remake beds. You can either make the beds with the same sheets, or if your travel schedule prohibits this, you can wash your linens, leave them running in the dryer, and make up the beds with other available clean linens. Also, don't forget to launder towels (bath, beach and kitchen) and washcloths.
RUGS - It's tricky to shake rugs on the 4th floor. The best place I've found is down the hall, where it opens to the outdoors. You can shake them where there are trees and plants below.
TRASH - Empty all trash in condo. Replace the bag in the kitchen trash compactor. Replacement trash bags are found in the cupboard to the left of the trash compactor.
CLEANING SUPPLIES - In order to consolidate the cleaning supplies and make it easier to keep little ones out of them, there are cleaning supplies on the top shelf at the end of the pantry and in the laundry room.
ABRASIVES - As a general rule, don't use abrasive cleansers or abrasive scrubbers in your cleaning. It is very important you do not use Comet or other abrasive cleansers on the fiberglass tub in the Pink Suite Bathroom, on the stove-top, on the marble counter-tops or on the tile floors. For the stainless steel surfaces in the kitchen, just do the best you can by wiping them with a damp towel (no cleaners, please... even if you can still see smudges).

PROPERTY DAMAGE
If property is damaged, the occupying party needs to consult with their Parent Sib to decide on an appropriate course of action. There are three choices. The occupying descendant may...
1) Fix it themselves (to an acceptable standard),
2) Pay to have someone fix it, or
3) Replace it.
If one of these is not, or cannot, be done, then an appropriate amount will be charged the Parent Sibs' account. Meanwhile, Ron will be implementing regular maintenance to Unit 401.
