It depends on the heating system at the home. If the pool is heated with propane, it can generally be heated for more of the year. Homes with electric pool heaters have a more limited heating schedule. Ultimately, the weather is the deciding factor. There is an additional fee for pool heating and, if applicable, spa heating.

Pool and spa heating must be scheduled with our office at least two weeks before your arrival. Because heating is not available at every home, please review the notes for your specific property to confirm whether this option is available.

There will be no refunds if the pool does not reach the desired temperature due to the temperature outside or inclement weather. Hot tub jets will not work unless the spa heat has been turned on.

Neighborhood swimming pools are located throughout the resort. You will have access to the pool in the neighborhood where your villa is located.

All vacation rentals have a washer and dryer within the unit for your use and convenience.

In high-rise villa properties there is a trash chute typically located in the common hallway. Homes and townhome style villas have a designated service yard/trash area. Trash cans do not have to be taken to the street. Please use a trash can liner and tightly place the lid on the can.
