USVI-On-Line

We stay at Gallows and truthfully, have no desire (yet) to rent a villa. However, after looking at all of the gorgeous villa photos and their pools, I was wondering, who does the daily maintenance of them - vacuuming & chlorine checking, etc.?

Thanks

Good question Jan(AKA Charlie) I will be renting from Vivacation and just assumed it was them that took care of the pool....will have to email and find out...will let you know when they respond.

They have a pool person who comes in on change over day cleans refills chemicals they have automatic chemical feeders so they can last a week Most times when we get to the villa there is a note telling what the the pool chemicals are and saying to enjoy

we did the skimming when necessary, which wasn't often and once during our stay Paco from Carefree called to see if we were around that day and we weren't so he came in while we were out and checked on the chemicals.
It's not a big deal really. If any problems came up I wouldn't have hesitated to call them to come check it out.

I remember a person stopping by once during the week when we rented from Catered To and Vacation Vistas to check the mechanics and levels. No skimming.

One rental had lots of trees, flowers, etc. and the pool was littered with stuff every day. It wasn't a big deal to me and hubs but one of the couples was put out by the fact that we didn't have daily service to clean out the pool.

I don't think we had one leaf the entire week when staying over in the Maria Bluff area.

here is the offical response from Vivacations.....

"The pool is already on a service schedule-it's also checked prior to your stay. The only thing you'd probably be required to do is to skim the leaves off with the skimmer if there are leaves. Other than that, you're all set."

We have only had a to skim one pool for leaves and the others have been located in such a way that they were leaf free. That's the extent of our pool maintanence.
