Due to this property being a "Contactless Check in" we do have security cameras facing away from the house. Your privacy and security are of the utmost importance to us. FAQ: Please note, the pool is a solar heated pool and not bath water, I'd call it "refreshing". But, I am a wimp. Florida Solar Design Group says solar swimming pool heaters tend to increase unheated pool temperature by 8 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on the weather), reaching somewhere between 78 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit with minimal effort, even on somewhat cool days. The Keurig coffee maker is both a "pod" and a "pot" style. If you are staying longer than 7 days we are happy to arrange for a cleaning service for an additional fee. Pool service is every Friday. Garbage days Monday & Thursday
