Heated pools in Carolina Beach and Kure Beach are typically heated seasonally, most often from early spring through fall, when outdoor temperatures allow them to function efficiently. Pool heaters rely on the surrounding air temperature to maintain comfortable water levels, which is why they perform best when nighttime temperatures stay above 60°F. When temperatures drop below this range, especially overnight, it becomes much harder (and less effective) for heaters to keep the pool warm, even if they are running continuously. For this reason, heating is generally limited to in-season months to ensure guests get the best possible experience.

Loved the house and backyard area! The primary bedroom mattress wasn't comfortable, the sides felt like you had to get into the middle of the bed or fall off and it was too soft. It wasn't clear how to operate the outside speakers or operate the heated pool and we ran into issues with the main tv. The maint guy was very helpful and professional when he came by. We had a great time overall and it was a nice house for our group. The kitchen worked well and the grill outside was a good size for cooking. The property management company was responsive and very pleasant. Wished there were swim pool noodles to float with in the pool. Thanks!

Great Summer Family Vacation
Very impressed with the house, everything was very clean, well stocked kitchen, beds were comfortable, provided beach chairs and towels. The pool was a good size and heated, the fire pit and hot tub were also nice. Plenty of seating in the living room for the family to sit and socialize.

This is the life!
We had the best time at 13 Palms. The house, pool and yard were gorgeous. The house has plenty of space for relaxing in between pool time and trips to the ocean. We rented a golf cart and loved cruising around the neighborhood. The playground nearby was a hidden perk! We will definitely rent here again!
