Stairs: there are stairs and steps throughout this English Style Cottage House. Two sunken living areas (steps) as well as the 2nd floor (steps upstairs).
**Please note: The pool uses a sand filtration system. The bottom of the pool is a combination tans/browns/blues - so it will not appear crystal clear blue. The pool is serviced weekly by a professional pool mgmt company to maintain chemical balance and the filtration system. The yard is surrounded by more than a dozen trees of various sizes/types - there will be leaves around the area - and when season pollen counts are high - pollen will accumulate quickly. The pool system & waterfalls are scheduled on a timer to run the same time daily, but it is not heated.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should you operate the fan? According to the HVI (Home Ventilation Institute) bathroom fans should only be operating for about 20 minutes during and after a bath or shower.
Should the fan be left on all day or left on all night? You especially should never leave the fan on all of the time. If it is run too long, it can overheat and become a serious problem and fire hazard.

Tree Frogs & Lizards are also indigenous to our tropical climate and will be around all of our properties. These are good for the environment and are not anything that we treat for! You may find the occasional one has gotten into the property and not made it out - or has gotten in and is hopping around. There is nothing wrong with this - it is part of our local environment.
