Just a few questions. We're renting a house in Emerald Island for the first time in late July/early August. The home has a pool. My questions are:

1. Is there any reason to get spa heat? We have the option of pool & spa heat or just spa heat (cheaper) but the owner says that most people feel that it's just not necessary at that time of year and is just TOO hot.

2. Can you use the pools if it's raining out? I'm guessing if there's lightning, obviously not. I'm thinking if it's raining though, there will be water coming into the pools. Is this okay? Do you need to keep the pool covered during rain or when you're not using it? How much care do you have to do for the pool?

Thanks!
