Pool Heat: What to Ask
On the company pages above, a heated pool is usually an add-on. Destination Vacation, host2coast, The Vacation Company and Hilton Head Rentals all charge for pool heat, and some heat pools only in certain months. Beach House Boutique lists its collection as heated pool homes.
Is the heat included?
Most companies on this page charge extra for pool heat. Ask for the price when you book, not at check-in.
Which months can it be heated?
Some companies heat pools only in certain months. For a spring or fall stay, ask whether heat is offered on your dates.
Is there a spa?
Some pool homes have a hot tub beside the pool. Ask whether heating the spa is part of the pool-heat fee.
In-ground or plunge?
A plunge pool is a small pool for cooling off, not for swimming laps. The listing photos usually show which one a home has.
Where the Pool Homes Are
Most private pools belong to houses. Hilton Head Rentals splits its pool homes between Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Forest Beach and Shipyard. Each community’s rentals guide covers its gate, its beach access and the companies that rent there.
