POOL INFORMATION:

**If you want the pool heated or chilled for your visit, please read the following information and send me a note through VRBO's messaging system once you've booked the property.**

> During the spring and summer months, the pool will often remain naturally above 80 degrees (and often above 90!). While this temperature suits many guests, for those seeking a temperature that's more conducive to extended play time and swimming laps, I offer the option to chill the pool to a refreshing 79 degrees for $30 per night of your stay or $150 per full week. The same fee applies to heating the pool to 86 degrees during the cooler months. This nominal fee helps me keep my base rate affordable for all guests, offsetting the increased energy consumption.

> Spa heating is included with the pool heating fee. For guests who do not wish to heat the pool but do wish to heat the spa, it can be heated separately for $15 per night of your stay or $80 per full week from October through May. There is no charge to heat the spa from June through September.

> I strongly recommend heating the pool if you plan to swim between October and May. Kindly inform me in advance if you wish to heat the pool during your visit, as it takes anywhere from 12-24 hours for the water to reach the desired temperature, ensuring you can enjoy it throughout your stay.

> Please be aware that if you choose to heat or chill the pool, you will be charged for each night of your stay to maintain the desired temperature. External factors such as weather may affect pool heater and chiller efficiency, and refunds cannot be provided for circumstances beyond my control. The heater will not work when air temperatures drop below 60 degrees.

> While the pool undergoes weekly professional maintenance, I do not offer round-the-clock service as you might find at a resort. You may need to use the provided net to remove any debris before using the pool. The pool service typically visits on Friday mornings, though their schedule is subject to external factors beyond my control.

> During the summer months, the pool loses several hundred gallons of water per week to evaporation so guests staying longer than three days may need to add water. I provide a hose connected to a timer to simplify the process, so all you'll need to do is put the end of the hose in the water and push a button on the timer to start filling.
