Private pool availability dates are listed in the Amenities section of your vacation home's property details page. Private pools are generally available from the first week of May through the second week of October. Please see your home's property details page for specific opening and closing dates. Pools are cleaned, vacuumed, and serviced on the day of arrival. A mid-week service, including chemical and mechanical checks, is provided, but it does not include cleaning or vacuuming. The leaseholder will be charged for additional cleanings necessary due to misuse of the private pool.
Some private pools have the option to be heated. Please see the vacation home description for availability dates and the heated pool fee. The heated pool option must be requested and paid for prior to arrival. Unless otherwise advertised, pools are not heated in July and August. Fees for heated pools are either fixed (plus tax) or included in the rental fee. The heated pool option cannot be requested at check-in or during your stay for a prorated amount. If you choose to have the pool heater turned off during your stay, no refunds will be given. Please note pool heaters are delicate amenities. Their effectiveness is subject to the climate, weather conditions, and ambient air temperature. Salt air is quite corrosive and may hinder the function of these amenities after prolonged exposure. Heated pools are generally able to reach a maximum temperature range of 75 to 80 degrees.
Occasionally, some pools in Dare and Currituck counties experience a mild ground current. Generally this is not caused by a pool defect or the household electrical system, but appears as a result of the earth’s natural electrical current. Certain homes may be affected and the current tends to be intermittent in nature. Please be advised that this may affect the operation of pacemakers and other similar devices.
