Feels Like Magic’s Pool, Spa & Lanai
Feels Like Magic has a fantastic outdoor space, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the Florida sun!
This area is what sets Feels Like Magic apart from most of the other Champions Gate houses.
Typically this is where you’ll spend most of your time, so we made sure to put a lot of attention to what was provided here.
The back of the house faces an open green space, sitting in the lanai or pool while looking out into the green space while taking in the sunset is an experience in itself.
The entire lanai and pool deck are in a pool enclosure, keeping out a lot of the pesky Florida critters and bugs.
We also added privacy bushes around the entire enclosure. The bushes add privacy when you’re in the pool as well as extra greenery, which we liked. 🙂
The Pool
The pool was converted to saline (a salt water system) which is much better for everyone’s health, especially the little ones.
It’s a west facing pool, you’ll get sun on the pool starting around 11am and have sun until sunset.
The pool is heated year round, and we usually set it around 88 degrees.
Unlike other Champions Gate vacation rentals, here there is no charge extra for pool heat and we can set the temperature to whatever you are most comfortable with.
The Spa
The spa is an extension of the pool with an over flow feature that creates a small water fall from the spa into the pool.
Because the pool and spa share the same water, the spa is also salt water,
It has 4 jets and can seat 4 – 6 people comfortably. The timer for the spa is on the wall, by the pool enclosure door on your right as you walk out of the sliding doors onto the pool deck.
Similar to the pool we can set the temperature to whatever you feel comfortable with, typically the temperature is set to 104 degrees.
Removable Pool Safety Fence
To make sure the little ones can only go into the pool when they should, you’ll have a pool safety fence you can leave up.
In case you’re wondering, we do not have a door sensor on the sliding door.
We’ve had many guests ask about it in the past, not because they wanted it but because they did NOT want it.
They found it annoying, and if we’re being honest we agree with them. So we never installed one.
We find the security fence to be the perfect way to not annoy everyone all while keeping the little ones safe.
