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 with basketball hoop (please don't hang on metal hoop of the pool basketball -- it will fall and break -- and my kids will be very sad). Deep end is 8 feet with 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 water only - that is simply meant to rinse off - water pressure is low. Plenty of pool floaties - 5 or 6 total.
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, basketball hoop, cabana changing area and shower) at your own risk. We are not responsible for any accidents or injuries that occur while at our property.
