Other Things to Note:

Heated Pool:

Enjoy a relaxing swim year-round, pool heat is included in your stay at no extra charge! The system is programmed to maintain around 85°F, from October through April. Though the final water temperature depends on outdoor weather and air temperature. Heat pumps can typically warm the pool up to 10–20°F above the current air temperature, so on cooler days, it may not reach the full set temperature. No refunds will be provided due to weather conditions or heater performance.



Please note that pool maintenance is handled by external contractors and takes place every Thursday. You may see maintenance personnel during your stay, but the exact timing may vary. Thank you for your understanding!
