    Pool Heater:
    We heat our pool to a comfortable 85°F throughout the November–April season. Keep in mind that on chillier days (below 70°F), the water may be cooler than expected, as electric heat pumps rely on the surrounding air temperature and typically don’t operate effectively below 60°F.

    Please note that we are unable to offer refunds if the pool does not reach its optimal temperature due to weather conditions beyond our control.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this home is. Amazing communication with the owner. All the special touches really adds to the stay. The amenities the house kept our grandkids having fun all day. The kitchen was well stock with everything you need to prepare meals. This probably the best Vrbo rental we have ever stayed at! We highly recommend this home!
