Private Homes with Pools: Private homes with pools have weekly maintenance carried out by a qualified and licensed pool company. Due to the tropical nature of our Island it is not unusual to find unexpected debris in the pool falling from trees & surrounding vegetation, especially when there is a breeze or rain showers. If you wish to arrange for additional pool service, this can be scheduled with the pool company for a $30 cash payment due from guest at time additional pool service is completed. 80 is the highest heat temperature setting. During the winter months pool temperatures will probably stay around 75 . If several cold days occur, water temperatures will drop and may stay cooler longer. Pool heaters will not operate and will automatically shut down if outside temperatures get too cold (below 60 ). There will be days when the weather conditions will not allow pool heaters to accommodate swimming and temperature recovery times will vary. While we take every precaution to ensure that pools are heated as specified, weather conditions may affect the temperature of the pool and spa. Outdoor spas are not hot tubs. Spa temperatures are set at the same temperature as the pool. AMGCR is not responsible for pool/spa closures or malfunctions. No credit, discount and/or rate adjustments can be granted for circumstances beyond our control.   Pool heaters are locked.   TAMPERING WITH POOL EQUIPMENT WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL SECURITY DEPOSIT CHARGE.

Use of Property: AMGCR cannot guarantee quiet use or enjoyment of rental properties due to noise from other persons, neighboring properties, construction, maintenance, etc. No rate adjustments will be made resulting from circumstances outside of the rental property.
