Pool & Spa

The pool terrace is shared with the household, and it is quiet most of the day. Here is how everything works so you can simply walk out and swim.

Berry House swimming pool and poolside loungers

Hours and the shared terrace

Swimming is welcome from 8:00am until 10:00pm. After ten we ask that voices and music come down, as neighboring homes sit close to the water.

The terrace, loungers and fire pit are shared with the family, so you may occasionally find someone else out there. There is room for everyone.

The spa

The raised spa spills into the pool and is heated on request. Message us the day before and we will have it warm for the evening you want it. Our hot tub is available for a small additional fee and runs in one-hour sessions. Depending on the time of year, it can take 20–40 minutes to heat to the desired temperature.

Initial 1.5 hours: $15.00 (includes heating time) Each additional hour: $8.00 How to Request: All heating and activation are done manually by your host, so please message us directly via the Airbnb app, VRBO app, or SMS when you’d like a session. To ensure we see and respond in time—especially if you plan to use the hot tub after 6 pm—please send your request at least 24 hours in advance. This gives us time to catch your message (even if we’re out with family) and confirm the exact start time.

Pool towels

Pool towels are kept for guests separately from the bathroom linen. Use these outside and leave bath towels indoors.

Damp towels can be hung on the rail by the outdoor shower rather than brought back upstairs.

A few safety rules

Disclaimer: Use of the slide is at your own risk. By sliding you agree not to hold the hosts liable for any accidents or injuries.

Automatic Schedule (Summer Season): The slide runs automatically for 30 minutes each day from 1:00–1:30 pm and 6:00–6:30 pm.

How to Request Extended or Off-Hours Access: All slide activations are done manually by your host, so if you’d like to use it for longer than 30 minutes or outside the automatic times, please message us directly via the Airbnb app, VRBO app, or SMS. To ensure we see and respond in time—especially for any session after 6 pm—please send your request at least 24 hours in advance. This gives us time (even if we’re out with family) to catch your message and confirm the exact start time.

  • Children must have an adult with them at the water, always.
  • No diving — the pool is not deep enough for it anywhere.
  • No glass on the terrace; there are outdoor tumblers in the apartment.
  • Feet first on the slide, one person at a time, and only into clear water.

If anything looks wrong with the water or equipment, tell us rather than adjusting it yourself.
