This is completely normal and has been confirmed by our builder due to the long distance from the water heater. The home is equipped with an \*\*extra-large water heater—the largest model available for residential construction at the time of build—\*\*so capacity is not the issue. For large groups, we simply recommend spacing out showers slightly to allow the hot water to recharge. Thanks for your understanding—just one of the small trade-offs that come with enjoying the comfort and space of a home this size and a large group! ✓September Pool Heating We offer an extended pool season into September, weather permitting! If daytime highs stay above 70°F, and nighttime temps don’t fall too low, we’re happy to heat the pool upon request. Pool heat is available for $75/night (3-night minimum). Please request in advance so we can start warming the pool before your stay.
