A salt cell in a saltwater pool uses electrolysis to convert salt into chlorine, which then sanitizes the water. This process results in a lower concentration of chlorine compared to pools that directly add chlorine chemicals. You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. The minimum requirement for this home is no less than seven nights. The maximum occupancy is six. Golf Cart DEAL ALERT!!! Reserve now a street legal GOLF CART from Fun & More Rentals! 4, 6 or 8 passenger gas or electric carts to choose.
