Add Heat, Not Hassle
Here’s How It Works

Pool heat is optional—and easy to add.

  • Standard homes: $200 per stay (up to 7 nights)

  • Large homes with oversized pools: $400 per stay

We’ll make sure it’s turned on before you arrive. Just let us know at booking or any time before check-in.

Is It Worth It?
(Yes. Here’s When.)

Pool heat is available all year, but here’s when most guests opt in:

  • October – April: The most popular months for heated pools, especially when ocean temps are too cold for swimming.

  • Chilly Evenings: Even in warmer months, evenings can cool off. A heated pool means night swims are still on the table.

  • Traveling with Little Ones? Young kids tend to chill faster—our heated pools let them play longer, happier.

Not sure if you’ll want it? Ask us. We live here—and we’re not shy about telling the truth.

FAQ

Is pool heat really necessary in spring or fall?
It depends! March, April, and October can be hit or miss for water temperature. If you're not a fan of bracing water, it's worth it.

Can I add pool heat after I arrive?
Sometimes—but not always. Pool heaters take time to warm up, so last-minute requests might mean waiting 12–24 hours. We recommend deciding before arrival.

Can I heat the pool for just one day?
No—pool heat is a flat rate per stay. The setup and energy costs are the same whether it’s one day or seven.

Can I heat the spa only?
Some homes have a spa spillover, but unless it’s listed as a separate hot tub, it can’t be heated independently.

Is the pool heated automatically?
Only if you request it in advance. We don’t preheat pools unless you’ve opted in.

Smaller group, same great perks.
