Great pool, but too expensive to use!
We enjoyed the house and pool but were shocked when traveling home to be informed the 29 day stay cost us our entire security deposit and we were "forgiven the remaining balance" for electric usage. We only heated the hot tub 4 or 5 times and got in before it reached max temperature so we could turn it off as soon as possible. The weather the month we were there was warm with a few cold mornings and one all-day rain. Therefore we don't understand the exorbitant electric charges. Bottom line: unless you go in July-August and don't use the heater it is too expensive. We have stayed in Cape Coral and rented properties monthly for years and never exceeded our allowable electric usage. Makes me wonder if the heater is malfunctioning or inefficient. After reading other reviews, we see we are not the only ones that think heating the pool is a problem. Based on what we were charged per kilowatt, utility rates must be extremely high in Florida! I had considered booking here again but can't justify paying so much rental and then so much for electricity usage as well. Might stay at a resort next time!
