The pool is maintained by a professional company 2x a week, so please understand depending on check in days the condition upon arrival will vary slightly.
The pool IS NOT heated, but generally water temperature stays around 70-80 degrees from the direct sunlight, depending on the time of year. The pool light and waterfall are located near the pool pump in the electric box. We ask that the pool water fall is turned off when not in use. We do have a beautiful amount of foliage in the back yard, which blooms amazing pink and purple colors in season, and may also cause leaves and flowers on the deck and for leaves to fall into the pool in-between cleanings.
The front yard is also a complete foliage design, so you may also see some geckos and other outdoor wildlife enjoying the trees and flowers as well. And don't worry, we do also have a regular pest control service to keep critters out of the house!
Florida is hot and humid just about year round, but especially in the summertime! We do have a brand new central AC unit, and the thermostat is located near the front entry way. By touching the right side and using your finger to control the temperature up or down. While during your stay please use the thermostat at your leisure, but please leave the home at 76 cool when you check out.
We do provide a basic supply of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc, but guests are responsible for additional replenishments throughout their stay. We also provide basic bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in the showers. We have a variety of games, pool toys/floats, and beach umbrellas, towels, and chairs. Guests also have full use of the laundry machines and parking in the two car garage to park during their stay.
