• 1. Who can rent the Fiesta Gardens cabana and pool?
  Rentals are available to Fiesta Gardens residents who are eligible to rent the facility. The renter is responsible for all rental fees, the security deposit, compliance with rental rules, and any damages associated with the event. If sponsoring an event for a non-resident, the Fiesta Gardens resident must remain onsite for the entire duration of the event. 

• 2. Can I rent the cabana for a non-resident's event?
  Yes. An eligible Fiesta Gardens resident may sponsor an event for a non-resident. The Fiesta Gardens resident must make the reservation, pay the rental fee and security deposit, assume responsibility for the event and guests, and remain onsite for the entire event.

• 3. How do I reserve the cabana?
  First, check the rental calendar for availability and submit the online rental request form. After submitting your request, you should receive an email confirming that it was received. Within approximately 10 days, you will receive an email confirming your reservation details, contract and amount due. 

• 4. Does submitting a request guarantee my reservation?
  No. Reservations are not finalized until they have been approved and the required payment has been received. Pending reservations may be released if payment is not received within seven days. 

• 5. What rental times and rates are available?
  Rental times and pricing vary depending on whether your event takes place during pool season or the off-season. Please refer to the current rental calendar/information provided when making your reservation for available times and current rates. All setup and cleanup must take place within your reserved rental time. 

• 6. How many guests can I have?
  During pool season, daytime rentals are limited to 40 party guests. Evening rentals may accommodate up to 80 party guests. Off-season rentals may accommodate up to 80 guests. 

  • Events with 50–80 attendees require an additional $100 fee to cover a third lifeguard during pool season. 

• 7. Do Fiesta Gardens residents who are independently using the pool count toward my guest limit?
  No. HOA members who are at the pool independently and are not part of your event do not count toward your party's guest total. However, HOA members attending as guests of your party do count toward your guest limit.

8. Is the pool private during my rental?
No. The pool remains open to Fiesta Gardens HOA members during your rental. Your reservation allows your party to use the pool and cabana but does not provide exclusive use of the community pool.

9. Are lifeguards provided?
Yes, lifeguards are provided during pool rentals. Events with 50–80 attendees require a third lifeguard and an additional $100 fee. Lifeguards are responsible for enforcing pool rules and are acting on behalf of FGHA. 

10. What happens if the pool unexpectedly closes during my event?
If you rented the facility during pool season and the pool becomes unavailable due to circumstances outside your control—such as maintenance, contamination or lifeguard availability—FGHA will work with you to determine an appropriate partial refund based on the circumstances.

11. What is included with the cabana?
Your rental includes:

• 6 eight-foot wooden tables

• 4 six-foot folding black tables

• 60 black folding chairs

• Grass area between the pool and cabana

• Wi-Fi

• Projector and screen

• Foosball table

• Oven and stove

• Refrigerator and freezer

There is no ice machine, so please plan to bring your own ice.

12. Can I arrive early to decorate or set up?
Your setup and cleanup time are included within your reserved rental period. Please plan accordingly. Additional time may sometimes be accommodated, but it must be approved in advance and is not guaranteed. 

13. What decorations are allowed?
Decorations are welcome, but confetti, glitter, birdseed/rice and sidewalk chalk are prohibited. Thumbtacks and regular tape may not be used on walls or windows. Painter's tape is the only tape permitted on walls or windows. 

14. Are balloons and water balloons allowed?
Yes. Balloons and water balloons are permitted, but all balloons and balloon pieces must be completely picked up before you leave. If balloon pieces or other party debris are left behind, a portion of your security deposit may be withheld to cover the additional cleaning required.

15. Are bounce houses and inflatables allowed?
Yes. Bounce houses and other inflatables are permitted in the designated grass area. The company providing the bounce house or inflatable must be insured. Setup and removal must occur within your reserved rental time.

16. Can I have music, a DJ or live entertainment?
Yes; however, FGHA staff or Board members may require music, including DJs or live music, to be turned off. If asked to do so, renters must comply. 

17. Can I bring food or hire a caterer?
Yes. Renters may bring food and catering supplies. All food, beverages, catering equipment and personal property must be removed at the conclusion of the event. Nothing may be stored at the facility before or after your rental. 

18. Is alcohol allowed?
Yes. Beer, wine and liquor may be served but cannot be sold. Alcohol may not be stored at the facility outside your reserved time and must be removed immediately following the event.

19. What are the supervision requirements for children's events?
Children must be supervised at all times, including in the pool, cabana and grass area. The contract requires two adults for every 20 minors present. 

Additionally, at least three responsible adults must be present during the event and available to assist FGHA staff or Board members in an emergency or with maintaining orderly behavior. Their names and contact information must be provided in advance. 

20. Are pets allowed?
No. Dogs and other pets are not permitted. Service animals are welcome. Smoking and vaping are also prohibited inside the facility.

21. What happens if guests become disruptive?
Fighting or unruly conduct will not be tolerated and may result in immediate termination of the event without a refund and loss of the security deposit. The deposit may also be forfeited if FGHA determines that police intervention is necessary to restore order.

22. Where should my guests park?
All vehicles must remain on the street. Vehicles may not be driven onto the grass or tanbark near the cabana, including for unloading. 

23. How do I access the cabana?
You will receive a code to enter the cabana the week of your event to access the lockbox. A set of keys located inside is used to access the doors. Lost keys are subject to a $50 replacement charge. 

24. How much is the security deposit?
A $300 security deposit is required to hold your rental date. The deposit is refundable provided the facility is left clean and presentable, there is no damage and you leave within your scheduled rental time. 

25. What am I responsible for cleaning?
Before leaving, renters must:

• Empty and re-line the cabana trash cans

• Place trash in the black cans and recycling in the blue cans

• Wipe down kitchen counters and tables

• Clean the stove and oven if used

• Remove all food and beverages from the refrigerator

• Sweep the kitchen and cabana if needed

• Pick up trash from the cabana, grass and surrounding areas

• Check the restrooms for excessive trash

• Turn off all audio/video equipment

• Remove all decorations, balloons and personal belongings

These responsibilities are also outlined in the rental contract. 

26. What can cause money to be withheld from my security deposit?
Charges may be assessed for damage, excessive cleaning, leaving debris or party supplies behind, lost keys, or remaining at the facility beyond your reserved time. If damages or cleaning costs exceed the security deposit, the renter is responsible for the additional amount. 

27. What happens if my party runs late?
Setup, your event and cleanup must all be completed during your reserved time.

The contract currently provides the following late-departure charges:

• First 30 minutes: 10% of security deposit

• 30–60 minutes: 50% of security deposit

• More than 60 minutes: 100% of security deposit

28. What is the cancellation policy?
If you cancel your event, your security deposit will be refunded in full. Your rental fee can be credited to your FGHA account and may be applied toward a future event or you can receive a refund minus a 3% transaction fee. 

29. What if it rains or the weather is cold?
If the pool remains open and operational but you choose to cancel because of rain, cold temperatures or other weather conditions, the normal cancellation policy applies. If you rented the facility during pool season and the pool becomes unavailable due to circumstances outside your control—such as weather, maintenance, contamination or lifeguard availability—FGHA will work with you to determine an appropriate partial refund based on the circumstances.

A renter's decision not to use the pool because of weather is not considered a pool closure. Weather-related refunds are not provided for off-season rentals, as off-season reservations are for the cabana rather than pool access.
