Before Adding Pool Heat

We recommend checking the Saint James City weather forecast shortly before your stay when deciding whether to add pool heat to the reservation.



Electric pool heaters rely on the outdoor air temperature to warm the water and are generally capable of heating pool water to approximately 20°F above the outside air temperature under favorable conditions.



During periods of cooler weather, ( typically in December, January and February and particularly when a cold front moves through Southwest Florida, the pool may take longer to warm and may not reach or maintain 85°F.



Important: Electric pool heaters may not operate when the outdoor temperature is approximately 55°F or below. Because pool heating performance is affected by outdoor temperatures and weather conditions, a specific pool temperature cannot be guaranteed.

Cooler Weather in Southwest Florida



Please remember that the temperatures above are historical averages and are not a guarantee of the weather during your stay. Cold fronts can occasionally bring significantly cooler temperatures to Saint James City, especially from December through February.



For example, temperatures in the Pine Island area dropped into the upper 30s during a January 2025 cold snap, and another strong cold front in November 2025 brought morning temperatures into the low 40s.



These colder periods can significantly affect the performance of an electric pool heater.



Please Keep in Mind



Pool heat can make swimming much more comfortable during Florida's cooler months, but pool temperatures cannot be guaranteed. Outdoor air temperature, overnight temperatures, wind, rain, cold fronts, and other weather conditions can all affect how quickly the pool warms and the temperature it can maintain.



For the best experience, we recommend checking the weather forecast shortly before your arrival before purchasing pool heat.
