About the pool
Refreshingly large, private, in-ground, UNHEATED, pool that is tucked away in a very large backyard! There is a wooden fence that surrounds pool and there are lots of tall trees and shrubs making it relatively private from main residence and the two neighbors. The neighbors may be visible but they can hardly see into the pool.
The privacy means that leaves do occasionally fall into the pool and sink to the bottom. I scoop out what I can, but I can assure you this doesn't take away from the amazing water and overall experience. Our pool is professionally maintained. The pool is perfect for sunbathing, swimming and relaxing with friends. An easy hand rail with 4 steps down to shallow end. Deep end is approximately 9 feet - water levels vary a little after rains or on extremely hot days. There is a sloped edge and ladder. There's carpeted cabana (2 steps up from pool deck) for changing and a mini fridge for keeping drinks cool. There’s a shower thru the cabana - cold/hot water - it takes about 3 minutes to get the temperature just right - but please this is simply meant to rinse off before or after - water pressure is low.
Plenty of pool floaties - 5 or 7 - type of pool floaties may change - they break so I buy new ones but not always the same ones. The pictures feature what was there at time.
There is absolutely no glass allowed in pool area.
You cannot drink or eat while in the pool - Please treat my pool with respect and care. No animals allowed!
Keep in mind by renting my pool you are swimming, using amenities (chairs, tables, lounges, cabana changing area and shower) at your own risk. We are not responsible for any accidents or injuries that occur while at our property.

What makes it special
Pool Toys
The pool basketball hoop is on order - it was broken by a guest - sadly. Hopeful we’ll get it soon.
Shower
There’s a private outdoor shower (located through the cabana changing area) with cold water only. It’s meant to briefly rinse before and/or after swim. Use of shower is done at own risk - there are 2 steps down to shower and there are no hand rails.

We are a busy family of 5 who love our backyard pool! Our schedules are such that we don’t find ourselves using it during the week…
