Caretakers on-site; Since we live so far away (California) we have created a separate entry apartment above the RV garage for my in-laws to stay in while not on the road with a new adventure. They take care of the property for us and may be seen tending to the yard. They are also there to quickly respond to any emergency or if requested can assist you with questions about the area. They do not use the pool, so it is exclusively for your use only.

Please note: This house is in a quiet family neighborhood, please do not inquire if you are planning any parties. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

We do have a boat dock and you are welcome to bring a boat in, however there is no boat lift currently installed, and low tide can bring the water level down to as low as one foot.

Pool: The pool is heated by pumping the water through solar panels that are installed on the roof of the house, the sun heats the panels, which heat the water. This does a good job of heating up the pool in the winter to about 78-83. The temperature does depend on how sunny the weather is and how many days in a row of cloudy weather we have. If we have cold nights and several days in a row with no sun, then the pool temperature will drop. We use a cover to help keep the heat in at night. January is typically the coldest month here and the pool will be around 78 on average in January. It has been as low as 73 and as warm as 80 in January.
Water temps in the winter: (max heat setting is 85)
November average is 81, highest 85, lowest 75
December average is 80, highest 83, lowest 75
January average is 78, highest 80, lowest 73
February average is 82, highest 85, lowest 76
Any other time of the year the pool is kept around 83.
