Please contact our customer service after you have booked your stay for further payment. Please be advised that the pool heat is not included in your reservation cost. Charges for pool heat are non-refundable unless the heating system is experiencing issues. Pools need a minimum of 48 hours to heat properly. Pool heat is added for the whole stay or none of the stay. There is no partial pool heat allowed due to the high costs to bring up the temperature in the home.

Home with heat pumps can only pull heat from the ambient air, and generally only 15-20 degrees above ambient is the temp the pools can get to. • Patio grills. Your home might have a BBQ grill installed on the patio. If you decide to use the grill, there is a $95 fee. You should request to use the BBQ grill prior to your arrival as we have locks on the grills.

This was the second time we stayed here, but not the same house. House was nice. My son enjoyed the game room with the big screen TV and theater seating. Pool area could use a good power washing. The beds definitely need new mattresses. They may be ok for a long weekend but not for a 35 day stay. Also the couch wasn’t very comfortable either. Would definitely stay here again if these things would be updated ##### Kam M. Stayed 35 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### James R. 15 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Some repairs needed but worth the price Ice maker in fridge not working, broken chair in movie room, garbage can 1/2 full of unbagged trash at check in (violation of area rules), cigarette butts under pool furniture (again, supposed to be smoke free), leaking under kitchen sink. All were reported but the sink leak was the only item addressed. The beds were the sizes listed but the mattresses were incredibly soft. Not bad but not comfortable. Property management said they were not responsible for the fridge or broken chair and were not willing to check any of the complaints except for the above mentioned sink problem. ##### James R. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris G. 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Poor Stay VRBO On our arrival to Emerald Island resort, late evening of 17th August, it was immediately clear that the wifi was not operational. Our first action was to reset the router, as this is usually a good indicator of where the problem may lie. When this did not work we made contact with the management company alert them to the fact that there was a problem with the internet connection. Over the next 3 days we were consistently advised to reset the router, despite this clearly not being a solution. A series of phone calls and messages were made, either being ignored or receiving a delayed response. All information was sent via text message, despite us advising Rob that a phone call would be preferable as we didn’t appear to be receiving text messages. We received a phone call on Monday 19th, asking us if we were at the villa, so that an engineer could be sent. Unsurprisingly due to the fact that we were trying to enjoy our holiday, we were not at the villa and therefore no further action was taken, despite the fact that we were given the impression that access could be made in our absence so as not to disrupt our family time. Eventually on Wednesday 21st August, we received another phone call to advise us that the router was not the source of the problem- despite us having said this since our arrival 5 days previously- and an engineer was sent. On her arrival, she made an external inspection where she found a bee hive, which was affecting the wifi con ##### Chris G.
