A Hot Tub inside a Grotto

This is one of my most favorite feature. A Hot Tub surrounded with a natural rock outcropping and enclosed inside a grotto.

A fantastic idea that adds a cozy cool spot to relax in on a hot summer day.

Excellent place to relax and get comfy.

Now to really spice things up!

Beach edge...

Sun yourself in the pool

This pool has a walk-in beach edge where you can lay in shallow water and sun yourself. From there you can walk into the pool & swim to the deeper end.

Also a great spot for the little kids to play in the shallow water. A cool place to keep an eye on them & keep them from going to the deep end.

    These are all beautiful pools. I like the idea of painting the surface of a pool so it doesn't look like a plain floor. Having lights would be nice too if the outdoor ones go out.

    The walk in pool edges, as you call "Beach Edge" are very cool. But if you have small children in your household make sure you have the proper pool gates or self locking doors from the house, as it's easy the kids to walk in too deep.

    Phoenix pool, you are right! It is extremely important to have child safety features on any pool. Here in Florida, it is automatic - by code - so we don't even think twice. Around the 'beach edge' pool there is a kiddy fence that goes up when pool not in use. All doors leading out to the backyard are protected w/alarms & the pool/yard is contained - all around the property with a fence to prevent neighborhood kids from wondering in. Even the latches on the gates are set more then 4' off the ground so kids can't reach them.

    Thanks for bringing up safety - can't be too careful when designing pools & water features. :-)
