Take a stroll over to nearby restaurants and shops on Pine Avenue or spend the afternoon fishing at the City Pier.Our pools are heated during the months of November through April at no additional charge to our guests. We do not heat the pools during the warmer months of May through October. Pools are heated to a temperature of 84 degrees. However, please be aware that even in Southwest Florida we do occasionally get cold spells that can send the temperatures down into the 30's for a few nights in a row. This will cause the pool water temperature to draw down to in the 70's and a pool pump will automatically shut down if the outside temperature gets too cold. When the weather gets warmer and the pumps are able to re-engage, please be mindful that re-heating of the pool back to 84 degrees may take several days depending on the severity of the cold spell. Ultimately, these situations are beyond our control. Other issues such as severe weather conditions, equipment malfunction, temporary loss of use of equipment or amenities due to maintenance purposes or other items do happen from time to time. All of our pools and pool equipment are closely monitored by the pool companies. For your safety, we kindly ask that the controls not be tampered with -most of the systems are locked for this reason. Due to the island's strict 10pm noise ordinance, the pool heaters will not run overnight. Please remember, outdoor spas are not hot tubs. Please be aware that Beach Retreats does not issue refunds based on acts of god. However, please know that in the rare event of pool equipment malfunction during your stay, AMV will do everything in our power to expedite repairs as quickly as possible as we certainly want you to enjoy your heated pool and Florida sunshine to the fullest extent possible!AmenitiesExteriorGas Grill • Private Pool • Covered Parking • Garage • Deck / Patio • Outdoor Living Area • Fenced Yard • Outdoor Shower • BalconyGeneralNew Rental • Luxury • Linen ServiceInteriorFree Wi-Fi • Cable/Satellite • Air Conditioning • Washer • Dryer • Dishwasher • Television • Full KitchenProximityClose to the Gulf • Gulf View
