Top 5 Must-Have Pool Features for Florida Summers

Stay Cool, Live Luxuriously – Your Backyard Deserves the Best!

If you’re living in Florida, you know summer is no joke — it’s hot, humid, and absolutely perfect for a dip in the pool. But not just any pool. At Oak Wells Aquatics, your Jacksonville Award Winning Pool Builder, we specialize in creating custom backyard escapes that make the heat feel like a vacation.

Looking to upgrade your space or build from scratch? Here are the Top 5 Must-Have Pool Features that are trending in Florida this summer:

☀️ 1. Tanning Ledges

Also called a “Baja shelf,” this shallow area is perfect for lounging in just a few inches of water. Add some in-pool loungers and an umbrella, and you’ve got a resort-style setup without leaving home.

🌊 2. Waterfalls & Sheer Descents

Bring the calming sound of flowing water to your backyard. Water features add instant ambiance, movement, and a wow factor that raises your property’s appeal and value.

🧖‍♀️ 3. Integrated Spas

Don’t limit your pool to the summer — a spa gives you year-round relaxation. We seamlessly blend spas into your pool design for that luxury-hotel vibe.

🌈 4. LED Lighting

Go from day to night with programmable LED lighting that sets the mood, adds safety, and makes your pool glow in stunning colors.

🍔 5. Outdoor Kitchens & Lounge Zones

The best pool days are the ones you don’t have to leave. Add a custom kitchen, firepit, or shaded pergola to keep the party going from sunup to sundown.
