Hi Michael, yes this home does have 3 levels plus a roof deck, so the only way to access every floor is by stairs. We're sorry you never contacted us about the pool heat. Pool heaters normally go on at the end of October but if you felt the pool was cold we would have happily turned it on for you. We heat all pools to 84 degrees.
VERY happy with this house. It had just about everything we needed for ALL ages. Pool area is beautiful including pool toys to play with. Infant accessories included such as a high chair, pack and play, children’s books, etc. Kitchen was well supplied with dishes, small appliances, pots and pans (could use some more plastic glasses), everything we needed for our meal preparations. Beds are extremely comfortable! Space in the house is fantastic for a family. We enjoyed this beautiful house and would definitely rent it again sometime.
We had a wonderful beach vacation, a little further than from the beach than we expected but it was an easy walk. The only negative was that there was no oil for the tiki torches in the backyard by the pool, and the mosquitoes were pretty bad. When I contacted the property owner she said that that was not something they supplied, kind of disappointing. Other than that the home was beautiful, very well set up for all ages!
