Picture it: a sunny January afternoon, 74 °F in the shade, and you dive into your private pool… and gasp. Unheated pools in Florida can drop into the 60s °F during winter, especially after a few cool nights. That’s why, if you’re visiting between November and March, a heated pool can make or break your vacation.
How Cold Do Florida Pools Get?
Pool water follows the air temperature, especially overnight. After a winter cold front, an unheated pool can feel bracing for days. A heated pool stays comfortable for a relaxing swim, morning laps or an evening dip under the stars.
The Benefits of a Heated Pool
- Swim comfortably all winter long
- Kids can spend hours in the water without shivering
- Gentle exercise for snowbirds who like daily laps
- Evening swims after a day at the beach or on the golf course
Add a Hot Tub
Some of our homes, like the Bordeaux House, pair a heated pool with a spa. On a cool evening there’s nothing like sitting in a hot tub with a drink in hand while the palm trees rustle overhead. It’s also a lovely way to soothe muscles after a day of golf or pickleball.
How Pool Heating Works in Our Homes
Pool heating is available at many of our homes, and how it’s arranged can vary from home to home. When you enquire or book, just let us know you’d like the pool heated and we’ll explain exactly what’s included for your dates. Heating works best when the pool is covered or the weather is mild, so it’s normal for temperatures to dip a little after an unusually cold night.
