The Pool Heater will not work at night. 

  • Electric Pool heaters/exchangers: Some of our pools are heated by an electric heat pump. The desired water temperature is set at 86 degrees Fahrenheit. 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.
  • 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.
  • If so equipped, Spa heating is included. 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 degree, 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.
    Guest understands that the area surrounding pool and spa may not be fenced or guaranteed to be secure and Guest will be responsible to ensure supervision of any occupants that may be endangered (see section 35). Guest also understands and agrees to be responsible and liable and will pay Manager upon request for any damages that occur to the pool and spa and its support equipment through misuse and/or negligence.

31. BOAT DOCK / LIFT USE LIMITATIONS & INSTRUCTIONS: Certain Properties have boat docks and lifts that are available for guest use. Please inquire before booking to make sure your watercraft is compatible with rental’s boat dock and lift(s). Each lift has special height/weight/depth/length limitations therefore your watercraft’s height/weight/length and make/model will be needed to determine compatibility. Inspect the lift before using. Make sure there is power and that the cables/rails/cradle are not bent, broken or missing. FDVR inspects the lift(s) before check-in and at check-out, therefore it is important to let us know immediately of any operating issue with the lift before you place your watercraft on them. Adult supervision is required while operating the lift(s). At least two people must be present to operate the boat & jet ski lifts properly. Make sure both designated persons are aware of the operating procedures. Detailed instructions for boat and jet ski lift operation will be posted at the rental property in the welcome book. Some guidelines for proper boat/jet ski lift use are as follows: Do not lower the lift all the way down (do not unwind the spooled cable completely). Lowering or unspooling all of the cable unnecessarily will cause too much slack and cable will spool incorrectly when lifting it back up. Lowering the cable completely - or lowering the boat lift cradle or jet ski lift/ramp all the way to lake bottom - will put the cradle/ramp at risk of being bent or damaged. In addition, do not raise the lift all the way up as you could cause severe tension in the cables, your boat could hit the roof/beams, cables could tangle or spool incorrectly and/ or jet ski ramp hinges could bend/break. As stated in Section 35, boat/jet ski lifts and docks are special features and is the Guest's responsibility to learn about safety precautions concerning utilizing or being around Special Feature.

Neither the property owner nor the Manager shall be liable to Guest for damages, and no refunds will be given for such failures. 

33. OTHER OCCURRENCES: Manager does not accept liability for any loss or damage caused by but not limited to the following: weather conditions, natural disasters, pests, construction disturbances, acts of God, or other reasons beyond its control. shall be no refunds of rents because of shortened stays, ruined expectations, or departures due to work and family emergencies, unavailability of 

any or all parts of the Unit, or any other reasons. It is highly recommended that Guest considers the purchase of travel insurance.
