Sitting at my laptop this week, I can't help looking out the window and daydreaming about lounging by the pool. But not just any pool - my daydream takes place at a pool that's thoroughly modern, paired with a gorgeous home and (hopefully) a staff well-versed in the art of poolside cocktail delivery.

As if this wasn't a nice pool on its own, it's accompanied by a great little hot tub and a breathtaking view. I can't imagine a more relaxing spot.

Tenshon, LLC I love that wood deck. I wish we could get away with that in AZ. I would have one on my personal pool in a heart beat.
