For your comfort during your stay, we ask that you do not set the AC below 72 degrees. With the heat and humidity here in Southwest Florida, setting the thermostat below 72 degrees taxes the system and runs it too long, ultimately causing it to shut down and freeze up. Once this happens, you will have NO AC and will require an AC tech out to get it back up and running and we cannot guarantee same day service on a technician to come out. Please keep doors and windows closed while AC is running as this will cause the AC to freeze up also. Thanks so much for helping us to help you and keeping you cool and comfortable for your stay!
