Top 5 Coolest Pools To Play In This Summer

These days, a summer rental in the Hamptons isn’t complete without the sparkling blue waters of a swimming pool. Not just any pool. Ones that are enviable sanctuaries with mind blowing views are preferable. Whether the goal is to luxuriate or play a mean game of Marco Polo, here are five of the coolest pools you can have with your home rental this upcoming season.

Throw the ultimate pool party in this heated infinity pool. Just be prepared for a serious hike if that volleyball goes out of bounds. Those who prefer lounge-side sitting won’t have to passive aggressively lay their towels out in the morning for the best view since there are panoramic views of Shinnecock Bay. Not in the mood for fresh air or sunshine? Luckily, there’s also an indoor lap pool with Jacuzzi that overlooks the bay. In addition, this 8,320-square-foot villa has a media/game room, two saunas and two steam showers, a gym, a wine cellar, and an elevator. For a cool $400,000, it’s all yours from MD-LD.

Take your sophistication level up a notch with this sleek retreat. With views of the ocean, this custom-designed pool has an overflow spa and wading area that pretty much begs guests to slip onto one of those floating pool chairs and contemplate life … or nothing at all. It comes with a 4,300-square-foot home featuring a custom designed kitchen and a whole media and entertainment WING! It’s available from MD-LD for $950,000.

This could either be the best private racing pool or the next meditation retreat, depending on one’s mood. With their mansion off in the distance, swimmers can enjoy being in the country, Hamptons-style—surrounded by manicured lawns and a tennis court nearby. The 10,000-square-foot home has seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, an elevator and seven fireplaces. Incidentally, this house would also fall under our “Top Five Homes With Too Many Appliances” what with its FOUR dishwashers in one kitchen. Enjoy from MD-LD for $675,000.

After navigating the road-rage inducing, bumper-to-bumper traffic on 27, this infinity lap pool with an adjoining recreational pool are just what we … err, you need to unwind this summer. The adjoining 12,000-square-foot villa has eight bedrooms and six and one-half baths. And if these pools aren’t enough to take off the edge, there’s also a master bedroom suite with a spa that has an extra-relaxing deep Japanese soaking tub! All yours from MD-LD for $650,000.

It may not be as large as the others, but this lima bean-shaped pool has its own kind of adorable charm, not to mention oceanfront views. So grab that inner-tube and a beverage and float off into the sunset. After a proper soak, you can take a bounce on what appears to be an enormous trampoline down below. This beach house also has two living rooms, two kitchens, six bedrooms and four baths. For a nominal $450,000 from MD-LD, this, too, can be yours.
