🤝 Booking = Agreement
You agree to treat this space with care and book in good faith. We strive for a 5-star experience and ask for respectful, direct communication to resolve any issues during your stay. We believe in hosting in good faith and ask the same of our guests.
The pool is kept at a refreshing 80°F, which is included with your booking. While this offers a crisp, cooling feel, many guests prefer to upgrade for a warmer and more relaxing experience. We can raise the temperature to 90°F for an additional daily fee; this must be arranged in advance and for the full duration of your stay.
To ensure the best experience, please be aware that outdoor pool temperatures are naturally influenced by the South Florida climate. While our heaters are maintained for peak performance, heat loss can occur during overnight hours, windy conditions, or when ambient temperatures drop below 70°F.
Because actual water temperature is subject to these environmental factors, we cannot guarantee specific temperatures during cooler weather, and refunds are not issued for fluctuations caused by nature. For the safety of the equipment, the heater is designed to enter a temporary "defrost mode" or shut down if the outdoor temperature falls below 50°F, resuming automatically once the air warms back up.
