Use our propane gas grill for your outdoor cooking needs. It's for guest use only, so please no parties or use by outside guests. Remember to clean up after yourself and keep the grill free of grease and grime. Cleaning utensils and grill cleaner products are provided in the laundry room bottom drawer.
If the propane tank runs out, you can replace it at a local refueling store and we'll reimburse you for the cost. Please keep the receipt. We don't check the grill and propane tank regularly between check-ins, so your cooperation is appreciated.

Extra supplies may need to be purchased based on usage and length of stay.

Pool Information:

The pool is heated to 80 degrees at no extra cost, which is an acceptable swimming temperature. However, if you prefer a warmer pool, for an additional $30 per night, we can heat it to 86 degrees. This fee helps us keep our nightly rate low for guests who choose not to heat the pool and helps offset the additional energy costs. It's highly recommended to heat the pool if you plan to swim during fall, winter, and spring months (typically mid-October through early May); however, the pool heater is assisted by the hot Florida sun and temperatures can reach into the mid-80s when set to heat to 80. If you would like to experience the warmer extra-fee-based option, please let us know in advance as it can take 12-24 hours to reach the desired temperature. You'll be charged for each night of your stay to maintain the temperature. Cold spells may impact the pool heater's ability to keep the desired temperature. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds due to weather conditions or other factors beyond our control.

While we have a professional service that cleans and maintains the pool weekly, we do not provide 24/7 pool maintenance like you might find at a resort or hotel. It may be necessary for guests to use the provided net to remove debris or other items that may fall into the pool before use. This is no different from what a homeowner would do, and our net is located adjacent to the pool deck. The pool is serviced on Wednesdays between 10am and 4pm and it typically takes 20-40 minutes to complete the job. Manny's Pools will access the home through the gate to the backyard. Please allow him to clean the pool, and refrain from swimming during that time. Feel free to re-enter the pool as soon as he finishes.

IMPORTANT: Please note that there is no safety fence nor alarms separating the pool from the home, so extra supervision of young children will be necessary. Make sure to review pool rules (see house rules) and take all necessary precautions before use.
