What We Build
A pool house is a detached structure near your swimming pool. A cabana is more open-air with covered seating and basic electrical. A pool house is enclosed, insulated, and finished with a bathroom, changing area, and wet bar or kitchenette. At the top end, a pool house becomes a guest retreat with sleeping space, full kitchen, and living area.

Who It's For
For pool owners who want their backyard to feel like a resort. If you're tired of wet footprints through the house, or you want to entertain poolside without running inside every 10 minutes, a pool house is the answer. It's also the natural bridge to Blue Tide Exteriors' pool and outdoor kitchen services.

Why Custom
A pool house needs to handle humidity, wet feet, and chlorine exposure. We use moisture-resistant materials, proper drainage, and ventilation designed for a poolside environment. The design should complement both your pool and your home, not look like an afterthought shed dropped beside the deck.
Questions

A cabana is open-air with a roof and maybe a fan and changing curtain. A pool house is fully enclosed, insulated, and finished with a bathroom and kitchen facilities. Adding a bathroom is the single biggest jump from cabana to pool house.
Yes. If you add a sleeping area and full kitchen, a pool house becomes a guest house and may qualify as an ADU. We can design it to serve both functions.
