Having a pool is an added bonus when it comes to summertime entertaining and relaxation. Between the sunshine, recliners and sipping refreshing drinks from pineapple cups (yes, we are partial to the pineapple cups), the scene is nothing short of paradise. It is the nearby pool houses, though, that often bring these backyard retreats to the next level, providing the resort-like convenience of having incredible amenities just a few steps away. Here are five properties with cutting-edge pool houses to match their cutting-edge main residences.
