Overall, we enjoyed many aspects of this property.Unfortunately, the heated pool—a primary reason we chose this property—was a significant disappointment.On May 31, I contacted the owner about having the pool heated. I was told heating was available for an additional fee with two days' notice. Although the owner mentioned that many guests use the solar blanket, there was no indication of any issue with the heater. After I requested pool heating, I was told I would receive an invoice on Friday, but it never arrived.When we checked in on Saturday, I was informed that the heater's pilot light would not stay lit and that a part would be ordered on Monday. Then on Monday, I was told the heater needed to be replaced. While I understand that equipment can fail unexpectedly, I was disappointed that this issue was not identified before our arrival despite my advance request for pool heating.The solar blanket was not an effective alternative due to inconsistent weather and difficulty keeping it properly positioned. As a result, we were unable to use the pool during the first several days of our stay and could not enjoy it in the evenings as planned.I appreciate the owner's offer of a small refund, but I do not feel it fully reflected the impact this issue had on our vacation. Future guests who are counting on a heated pool may want to confirm that the heater is fully operational before arrival.
