Further charges for extra cleaning may apply.                                                                                                       

POOL SAETY:

Because there are no lifeguards or other attendants at the swimming pool, tenants are expressly responsible for the safety of themselves, members of their families, and guests using the swimming pool, and in so using or permitting to be used, specifically waive any and all liability claims. No tenant shall permit any juvenile member, elderly and persons with disabilities of this family or guests to play in or around the swimming pool without providing an attendant who is able to swim and can protect such juvenile in case of difficulty in the water. Tenant is expected to conduct himself as a guest with reasonable decorum and violent games and exercises are not permitted. Disconnecting the pool alarms is against the law in Florida

NOTE: All pool homes have Pool Door Alarms and/or Child Safety Fences. According to Chapter 515 of the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act: Anyone tampering with or disconnecting pool alarms or removing Pool Safety Fence commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable by a $5,000 fine or one (1) year in jail. Florida Holiday Homes will assess a minimum charge of $75.00 per alarm for its repair/replacement or to re-install Safety Fence.  Please do not tamper with the pool alarms or Safety Fences!

CHILD SAFETY FENCES:

You are advised to keep the child safety fences in position while you are renting the home, if you do choose to remove them, Florida Holiday Homes nor the home owners of the property will accept liability for any unfortunate accident that may occur.

If a Child Safety fence has been removed and must be put back by Florida Holiday Homes after your departure a charge of $75.00 will apply.

POOL HEATING (if applicable) – is available at an additional cost, please inquire with us

Pool and/or Spa heat must be ordered at least 2 days before arrival and for the entire length of your stay. Pool Heaters and Spas are connected to the Pool Pump, which operates on a timer, which is set to come on in the morning and turn off in the evening (runs for ca 8 hours). The Spa and Pool Heater will not work at night

Electric Pool heaters/exchangers need to run for at least 24 hours in order to produce heat.

Electric Pool heaters only are heat exchangers and generate heat off the outside temperature, so if the outside temperature is 70 degrees the pool will eventually get to 70 degrees over a period of 24-48 hours then will increase by 1 degree per hour.

Electric Pool heaters/exchangers: Many of our pools are heated by an electric heat pump. The desired water temperature is set at 86 degrees Fahrenheit but might not reach that temperature if weather too cold.  It is important to note that this temperature will not feel “hot” like a spa, nor “warm” like a bathtub. It is only meant to take the chill off the water so you may swim comfortably.

When the air temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit the pump (which sucks in air as part of its operation), although on and operating, may not be able to bring the water fully up to desired temperature. However, the operating costs remain the same and no refunds can be made should the water not reach temperature in this circumstance. Partial refunds can only be processed if pool heat is turned off upon request of guest. Please note that Pool Heat ON/OFF Service is not available on Sundays/Holidays or might not be available same day as someone physically has to come out to the property! 

A Gas Pool Heater operates independently of air temperature. It will heat your swimming pool more easily in lower temperatures than will a heat pump, which operates less efficiently in lower temperatures

Please do not attempt to adjust the pool heating yourself as it is very easy to break it and very expensive to fix.

Many of the properties have a Spa please note this is not a hot-tub. The temperature of a spa is normally set at the same temperature as the main pool. Note: Please do not expect hot-tub temperatures to be available on spas. The pool temperature is set to reach a maximum of 86 degrees, in compliance with State Licensing regulations, spas and hot tubs are set to reach a maximum of 102 degrees, however integral pool spas may not reach 102 degrees as the water is being filtered through the pool as well.                                                                      

If any member of FLORIDA HOLIDAY HOMES finds that a guest has tampered with the pool heating controls or lock box on the heater unit a minimum charge of $150 will be made against the security deposit.
