These cozy, sunken retreats provide the ideal setting for intimate chats, relaxation, and quality time with loved ones. Surrounded by the water, you can enjoy all the action and ambiance of your poolside gathering, without worrying about your s'mores getting soggy.

4. Elevate your pool with a waterfall. 

Not every pool feature has to be all about function, some are all about beauty. The waterfall in front of the Stone Springs Ranch pool makes a stunning visual statement, adding a touch of elegance and serenity to this outdoor space. It’s the perfect way to enhance the beauty of your backyard, while serving as a dramatic focal point that you and your guests can enjoy.

Stay and sip awhile. 

What’s better than enjoying your favorite drink while soaking in the sun? In-pool barstools right next to the lanai bar bring convenience and luxury to your poolside entertaining. You can sip on a refreshing drink while staying cool in the water, making this the perfect setup for enjoying the summer sun comfortably.
