POOL HEAT DETAILS: • This pool is serviced by solar only with a heat pump and may not get up to the lower 80's on cooler days. - The pool heat is not able to reach desired temps if the weather is below 55 degrees and therefore is not offered when the weather is projected to be below 55 (on the low side). • The pool is monitored via an external control. Guests are not permitted to adjust pool temperature or other functions. Failure to comply can result in fines or expulsion from the premises. • DEC-APR: It will be difficult to get the temperature up during these months when days are cooler outside. • OCT-NOV: More likely during these months that the pool would get to the upper 70's and lower 80's. • The pool heat runs by day and must be requested 48 hours ahead of time as the pool will take some time to get heated, if at all - based on contingencies.

Being Active
The Villages are amazing. We loved our week there. We took the golf cart everywhere. However it is a little far are from thing as of now. But it’s growing. Our place was nice. The kitchen could use a few more things if you cook. Main bed was comfy but the guest beds are not the most comfortable. Very clean and the neighbors were very nice.

Early access.
The property was great. We paid the 50 for early check in, arrived at noon and the cleaning crew was in side cleaning. Came back at 2:00 and had to call for access, it was not put in the system for our early check in.

Wonderful place
This home was beautiful, very clean, great bedrooms and bathrooms and the starter kit was appreciated.Most of all the pool was awesome and MOST IMPORTANT IT WAS WARM making it fun to float in for hours. Although there were community pools every block it was nice to sit by the pool, have cocktails, and relax.Inside and outside are very quiet. Also property was in decent proximity allowing us to go everywhere using a golf cart which we really enjoyed.

Lovely Place to Stay
The home is quite new and everything is well maintained. We appreciated the laundry facilities and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, too. The pool is lovely! Unfortunately, it didn't get a lot of use, due to poor weather. We do wish that pool towels had been available, though. When traveling by plane, we generally don't pack beach towels. We would stay here again.
