Water Safety at Tiki House

Rip currents aren't what you may think they are. And if there are breaking waves, rips are present! Since all water has to go back out to sea once it is pushed onto the beach by waves, a rip current is always there.

These RWIs are cause by swallowing water in swimming pools, water parks, hot tubs, rivers, lakes, and even open bodies of water like the Gulf of Mexico. Anywhere people swim, RWIs can be found and can cause infections of the eyes, skin, ears, intestines and lungs.

The pool at Tiki House is one of the reasons we are the most popular rental on the beach for large groups. We want to make sure you get the most out of the pool during your stay! With a little consideration, you can help keep it in tip-tip condition for your entire stay.

Tiki House is one of the few vacation rentals, especially homes, with a private hot tub. They are expensive and take quite a bit of maintenance and care. We have our hot tub professionally maintained by a pool cleaning company and they do a fantastic job. To make their job easier, keep the tub sanitary while you are there, and make sure no one gets hurt, we ask everyone to follow all the rules.
