Palm Coast homeowners do not need to leave home to enjoy a resort-style escape. This newly completed custom pool and spa in Palm Coast’s P Section shows how thoughtful design, premium materials, and dependable construction can transform an ordinary backyard into a private outdoor retreat.
Built by Agua Construction, this project combines a geometric swimming pool, raised spa, large sun shelf, decorative water features, natural stone finishes, energy-efficient equipment, and a full screen enclosure. The result is a backyard designed for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the Florida lifestyle year-round.
A Custom Pool Designed for the Property
Every backyard has its own dimensions, drainage considerations, architecture, and lifestyle needs. Rather than forcing a generic pool package into the available space, this Palm Coast pool was designed specifically for the home and property.
The finished pool measures approximately 24 feet long by 12 feet wide, with depths ranging from 3 feet 6 inches to 5 feet. The design provides approximately 278 square feet of swimming area, a 76-foot perimeter, and an estimated water capacity of 6,524 gallons.
The layout includes:
- A large shallow sun shelf
- Wide entry steps
- A raised attached spa
- Integrated bench seating
- A raised water-feature wall
- LED pool lighting
- Generous natural stone decking
These elements create distinct spaces for swimming, soaking, lounging, and spending time with family and friends.
Raised Spa With an Elevated Water Feature
One of the main focal points of this Palm Coast pool build is the raised spa. Elevated approximately 18 inches above the pool, the spa adds visual dimension while helping define the overall layout.
Water flows from the spa into the pool, creating movement and a relaxing sound throughout the outdoor space. The raised wall on the opposite side introduces an additional sheet-style waterfall, giving the pool a balanced, symmetrical appearance.
Together, the raised spa and waterfall wall turn the pool into more than a place to swim. They make it an architectural centerpiece.
Ivory Travertine Over a Concrete Subdeck
The pool deck features natural ivory travertine pavers installed in a French pattern. The soft neutral tones complement the home while helping the bright blue water stand out.
Travertine remains a popular option for luxury pools in Palm Coast because it offers:
- A timeless natural-stone appearance
- A comfortable surface underfoot
- Excellent compatibility with Florida architecture
- Individual pavers that can be replaced when necessary
- A premium finish that can enhance the overall appearance of the property
More importantly, Agua Construction installs its travertine over a poured concrete subdeck.
The concrete foundation creates a solid, stable base beneath the stone. This approach helps reduce shifting, settling, and uneven areas that can occur when pavers are installed over less substantial base materials. The beautiful surface gets the attention, but the strength underneath is what helps protect the investment.
Caribbean Wet Edge Interior Finish
The interior selection for this pool is a Caribbean finish manufactured by Wet Edge.
This premium lifetime interior finish produces the clean blue-green water color visible in the completed photographs. Sunlight reflects across the textured surface, giving the water depth and movement throughout the day.
The interior is complemented by blue waterline tile and custom decorative details, including a turtle inlay on the pool floor. These personalized touches help ensure the finished project does not look like a cookie-cutter pool.
Natural Stone Details That Tie the Design Together
Ivory stacked stone was used on the raised spa and water-feature wall, visually connecting the vertical structures to the surrounding travertine deck.
This material coordination gives the backyard a cohesive appearance. Instead of treating the deck, spa, pool interior, and water features as separate components, the materials work together as one complete outdoor-living design.
That level of coordination is what separates a basic pool installation from a professionally designed backyard transformation.
Large Sun Shelf for Florida Living
The oversized sun shelf creates a shallow-water lounging area that can be enjoyed without entering the deeper portion of the pool.
It is an ideal place for:
- In-pool lounge chairs
- Cooling off on hot Florida afternoons
- Relaxing with young children
- Sitting in shallow water with a drink
- Enjoying the pool without actively swimming
A sun shelf also creates a smooth visual transition from the deck into the main swimming area. Combined with the wide entry steps, it makes the pool feel open, accessible, and inviting.
Saltwater Pool System
This custom Palm Coast pool includes a salt chlorine generator, providing a convenient way to maintain clean, sanitized water.
Salt systems generate chlorine from dissolved salt already present in the pool. Homeowners still need to monitor water chemistry, but the system can reduce the need to manually add traditional chlorine as frequently.
The selected equipment package includes an iChlor 40 salt system, sized to support the pool’s sanitation needs.
Energy-Efficient Variable-Speed Pump
The pool is powered by a Pentair three-horsepower variable-speed and flow pump.
Unlike a traditional single-speed pump that operates at full power whenever it is running, a variable-speed pump can operate at different speeds depending on the task. Lower speeds may be used for everyday circulation, while higher speeds can support spa jets, waterfalls, cleaning, or other features.
Potential benefits include:
- More efficient everyday circulation
- Quieter operation at lower speeds
- Greater control over water features
- Improved filtration flexibility
- Reduced energy use compared with continuously operating a single-speed pump
Automation was also incorporated into the equipment system, making it easier to control pool and spa functions.
LED Pool Lighting
Integrated LED lighting extends the use of the backyard beyond daylight hours.
The lights illuminate the pool interior, highlight the entry steps and sun shelf, and create an inviting atmosphere for evening relaxation or entertaining. LED lighting also helps homeowners see changes in depth and major pool features after dark.
During the day, this pool feels bright and refreshing. At night, the lighting gives the same space an entirely different personality.
Bronze Screen Enclosure
A full bronze screen enclosure completes the project. The selected structure features a dome-style roof and helps create a more comfortable, manageable outdoor environment.
For Palm Coast homeowners, a screen enclosure can provide several practical advantages:
- Reduced leaves and outdoor debris in the pool
- Fewer insects inside the pool area
- Easier routine maintenance
- A defined outdoor-living space
- Greater comfort during evening use
The bronze framing also coordinates well with the home and natural stone materials without distracting from the pool itself.
Built for Beauty, Comfort, and Long-Term Value
This Palm Coast P Section project demonstrates how the right combination of design and construction can completely change how a family experiences its backyard.
The project brings together:
- A custom geometric pool
- An elevated spa with spillover
- A raised waterfall feature
- An oversized sun shelf
- Natural ivory travertine
- A concrete subdeck
- Wet Edge lifetime interior finish
- Saltwater sanitation
- A variable-speed pump
- Pool automation
- LED lighting
- A full screen enclosure
Each feature serves a purpose, but the real impact comes from how everything works together.
The homeowners now have a private space for morning coffee, afternoon swimming, family time, weekend entertaining, and quiet evenings beside the water. It is not simply a pool added to the backyard. It is a complete lifestyle upgrade built into the property.
