Having a pool was a must for our Florida vacation. We spent the extra money on getting a house with a pool for our 4 night stay. When we arrived the pool was green; it was filled with what we found out was bacteria and algae. We could not use the pool for our entire trip because it was being treated the whole time with chemicals. This is something that is common with pools but with regular pool maintenance it is easily avoidable. A quick sweep of the property prior to our arrival would have been enough to notice the pool would not be safe to swim unless it was treated. We had to be the ones to notify the rental company about the green pool, which became something of a hassle. Constant communication to fix the pool isn't something you want to have to worry about while on vacation. The rental company was helpful otherwise and they were always available to us. I just wish the pool had been taken care of prior to our arrival.
