The house is beautiful, clean, and only a few steps away from the beach! Our trip was in early October, and the pool needed to be heated for us to swim and hang around comfortably. Molly ( the property manager) was very responsive to my messages, and we were able to get the pool heated the very same evening of our arrival. Again, we love the house, the pool, and how close it is to the beautiful beach. One caveat though, the water heater is located in the primary suite, and it gets pretty loud when in used. So, my best advice is to set a cut off and start time for showers, washing dishes, etc (unless they like cold water) or your sleep will certainly be interrupted.
