Independent Property Rental

The total pool area is 50 ft x 37 ft x 18 ft 7 inch, with a 32 ft kidney shaped private heated salt water pool which is south east facing plus a covered lanai which is screened to protect the area from leaves, insects etc. For added security around the pool there is a child safety barrier. A pool blanket is provided on a roller to help keep the heat in the pool, especially during the winter months and also when pool heating is specifically requested / paid for by our guests. The pool deck area is larger than the average for a rental home and therefore makes it ideal for guests to sunbathe within the screened area, whilst allowing guests to move around freely within the pool deck area. You will also find that you are away from those splashes that children normally create whilst playing in the pool. The pool deck is equipped with four sun-loungers, patio table and six chairs.

The pool deck area can be directly accessed by three exits. The main open plan family room, master bedroom and pool bathroom. The two recommended exits to use onto the pool deck area are the pool bathroom and family room exits. The pool bathroom also doubles up as the Queen en-suite. The bathroom comprise of a walk-in shower, toilet and wash hand basin which is the ideal bathroom for guests to use to shower after enjoying a dip or swim in the pool. Pool towels can be located in the linen cupboard for guests use whilst out on the pool deck area.

From the rear the property guests can overlook the preserve area, which is very peaceful and tranquil. Guests will also be able to watch the wildlife go by whilst relaxing by the private pool / spa, enjoying the sunshine and the quiet setting.

The benefits of a salt water pool over a traditional chlorine pool are really in the water management. However as it is salt rather than chlorine, it does eliminate some of the side effects that are sometimes experienced in chlorine pools such as, red irritated eyes, dry itchy skin, bleached bathing suits or green hair.

The pool is classed “Salt Water” because instead of using chlorine it uses salt to clean the water, the water passes over the salt and this extracts the natural chlorine that is in salt to keep the pool sterile. However the water is much softer because of this.

A chlorine pool is made up of a two chemical combination that is normally topped up every week and the PH needs to be balanced. Chlorine may cause problems especially for some children and can cause problems with eyes getting sore.

The other issue is that the pool evaporates over time and needs re-filling, however this then weakens the chlorine rate and the pool is less sterile and the PH balance changes, this can lead to ear infections etc.

A salt water pool works in a totally different way, salt contains a natural chlorine content and this is released naturally as the water passes over the salt. This is a natural balance and the PH is balanced at all times due to this being a non chemical reaction, the water is also softer and not as harsh on children.

The property owner has two young children and considered all the above aspects before choosing the type of pool to purchase for the property and felt that a “Salt Water Pool” was the best way to have a naturally balanced water system that will not be harmful to children. The water does not taste of salt and this is totally different to sea water and how harsh that can be.
