pool water feature, Unique Pools & Landscaping Inc.

Modern elegance meets effortless livability. This stunning pool and outdoor space was designed to create a seamless connection between home, water, and landscape. Every line and level was carefully crafted to flow together—linking the main home and cabana through water in perfect harmony. A shimmering 360° spillover spa anchors the design, framed by pale stone, rich blue tile, and a warm fire feature that sets the tone for relaxed evenings outdoors. Floating stepping stones add a playful, modern touch, while the surrounding greenery softens the clean lines for a truly balanced aesthetic. From sunrise reflections to glowing twilight views, this space embodies refined simplicity—where architecture, craftsmanship, and nature blend into one serene experience. ✨ Design harmony. Everyday luxury. Endless tranquility. #LuxuryPoolDesign #ModernOutdoorLiving #HouzzDesign #CustomPool #BackyardInspiration #SpaDesign #InfinityEdgePool #OutdoorOasis #ArchitectureMeetsNature #CodyPools

Designed by Jeffrey N. Genter, RLA, this entertaining space includes seating, firepit for the kids, and a hot tub for dad. Eisler Landscapes worked with the pool installation company and coordinated all amenities. Special design considerations included designing the pool and fire pit to tolerate high winds, maintaining views to the golf course, and keeping sight lines clear from the hot tub to the pool.

This stunning pool house is the epitome of luxurious coastal living, offering a seamless blend of comfort, design, and tranquil waterside views. The expansive stone-tiled patio surrounds a geometric pool and spa combo, reflecting the crisp blue sky above. Beyond the pool, a private dock extends into the calm bay, ideal for boating enthusiasts or those who crave serene moments by the water. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open into the interior, allowing the natural light and ocean breeze to flow freely between indoor and outdoor spaces. The simplicity of the architecture keeps the focus on the breathtaking view, while the contemporary pool design invites endless relaxation. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a peaceful solo escape, this poolside retreat captures the essence of an upscale, tropical escape—just steps from the shoreline.

Phillip Crocker Photography The Decadent Adult Retreat! Bar, Wine Cellar, 3 Sports TV's, Pool Table, Fireplace and Exterior Hot Tub. A custom bar was designed my McCabe Design & Interiors to fit the homeowner's love of gathering with friends and entertaining whilst enjoying great conversation, sports tv, or playing pool. The original space was reconfigured to allow for this large and elegant bar. Beside it, and easily accessible for the homeowner bartender is a walk-in wine cellar. Custom millwork was designed and built to exact specifications including a routered custom design on the curved bar. A two-tiered bar was created to allow preparation on the lower level. Across from the bar, is a sitting area and an electric fireplace. Three tv's ensure maximum sports coverage. Lighting accents include slims, led puck, and rope lighting under the bar. A sonas and remotely controlled lighting finish this entertaining haven.
