Welcome to "Pool House" - a midtown home with a beautiful screened pool and outdoor living area. Swim in the heated pool every month except January and February! We’ve remodeled this 4 bd/2 ba home with travelers in mind, whether your trip is for business or vacation. You’ll have a private heated pool, high speed fiber internet, fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and lots of touches to make your stay enjoyable (a collection of board games and a vintage 80’s stereo with some vinyl, too.)
The space
Pool House is cozy and functional. Between stays, we wash all the sheets, duvet covers, blankets and towels in dye and fragrance free detergent on the hottest setting. The only scented product I use is Downy wrinkle release on the sheets and duvets. If you have any allergy concerns, I can skip that step. Before you arrive, we wipe all the high touch surfaces with disinfectant and spray everything as well. There’s a large dining table inside that seats 8, and an outdoor dining table that seats 6. Around the pool you’ll find several seating areas to watch swimmers or have your morning cup of coffee. We’ve got pool games and toys ready and an electric grill that’s easy to use (electric since it’s inside the screen). If you want to have an outdoor movie night or watch the big game outside, we have a screen and projector with Hulu, Disney, and ESPN. You just take the projector outside and pull down the screen and you are ready to enjoy a nighttime, outdoor cinema.
I love plants, so the backyard is loaded with some of my favorites – if the tomato/peppers/herbs are ready to pick, you are welcome to them.
If you’re forced to put in some office hours during your trip, there’s also a separate office space with a huge whiteboard and spacious desk (fiber internet) so you can focus and then quickly get back to relaxing.
Each bedroom, the living room, and the office have smart tvs with Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ all ready signed in and ready to go. You can also sign in to your own prime video or Netflix or other subscription services on the tv apps. Local Channels are available for live tv. If you want to watch other channels, Pluto tv has lots of variety.
We upgraded to a top of the line tankless water heater to supply the house with endless hot water - now the last shower is as hot as the first!
Guest access
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Guests have access to the entire house, private, screened pool and a large back porch to enjoy the outside. All the guests must be listed on the reservation and only those listed can be at the house, spend the night, or swim. Anyone else requires prior permission from the owner. We don't allow parties at the house. If you would like to have a small gathering, it will require prior approval from the host (and may include a fee). Any violation of this rule will immediately forfeit the reservation. Please park on the driveway and carport which together can accommodate up to 6 cars.
Other things to note:
The pool heater works best between March and December if the temperatures don’t dip too low. It can generally keep the pool water warm as long as the temperatures are at least in the 50s.
