Pool Heater: We heat our pool to a comfortable 85°F throughout the November–April season. Keep in mind that on chillier days (below 70°F), the water may be cooler than expected, as electric heat pumps rely on the surrounding air temperature and typically don’t operate effectively below 60°F.
Please note that we are unable to offer refunds if the pool does not reach its optimal temperature due to weather conditions beyond our control.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area.

Great place to stay! The house was clean, bright, and inviting. Everyone had fun playing Pickleball, swimming in the pool, and playing mini-golf. We will definitely stay here again.
Next visit I hope to bring my Grandchildern! There are so many things to do at the house and then the beach is just minutes away!!Decorated beautiful house and yard!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful this home is. Amazing communication with the owner. All the special touches really adds to the stay. The amenities the house kept our grandkids having fun all day. The kitchen was well stock with everything you need to prepare meals. This probably the best Vrbo rental we have ever stayed at! We highly recommend this home!
This rental had it all! Our family never ran out of things to do here and it’s also not too far from the beach. Every piece of the property and home is decorated and supplied with a lot of thought and generosity behind it. Big puffy comforters and plenty of pillows made sleeping here very comfortable. Everything was very clean and well kept. The owners are very responsive and kind.
We LOVED our stay. The layout of the house was perfect, and the decorating was beautifully fun and chic. From the kitchen oils to the info manual— there were so many thoughtful inclusions at this property. The backyard was also beautiful and perfect- there were fun activities and the pool was a great size and warm. We had grandparents, parents and children/teens and it was perfect for all. To top it off, the communication and the check in/out was fast and easy! :)
