Nancy Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just looking at rentals as Paul should be heading out next month.... A pool is at the top of the list at the mo as my thinking probably spend more time in the garden rather than the beach because of the dog...I know it's now coming into winter and a pool might not get much use but if we have a year lease will get the summer.. Is it a novelty or should we keep it at the top of the list???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlaunay Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 There are plenty of dog beaches around so unless he/she doesn't like the ocean, don't let the dog stop you taking a dip. We've not felt the need for a pool and probably couldn't afford one but we have plenty of friends with pools so when it gets hot and we want a dip we supply the GT's and we cool off in their pool.

elfie Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Sometimes rentals with pools the house is not up to much its a compromise nicer house or a pool. Plus rentals with pools are costly. But the choice is yours. We rather go to the beach but we do have a puddle - a blow up pool with a filter on the patio - its down now as the weather has changed.

Nancy Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks for the input portlaunay and elfie he does love the beach but I thought it might be a bit to warm in the summer to take him to the beach.... Actually just been talking about getting a blow up pool just to cool off in... So maybe this is the option for us... Elfie how is teddy doing today?x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesw Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 After 6 years of not wanting a pool, we are having one installed in 2 weeks time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Looks like it might stay on the list then.... Suppose it all comes down to what properties are available at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 We would love a pool but beach is top off our list. When we buy would make sure there was plenty of space to built one when we had the money. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Would hate to be without a pool. Even when the weather isn't pool weather, just to be able to sit out and look at it is ace:smile: or at night when its all light up. I do love the beach though too, but yes during summer in the daytime it is too hot to take the dogs, needs to be early morning or late evening really. also sometimes I've had beach days where I've ended up frustrated:mad: because its been hot weather, picture perfect sand and sea, but I've daren't not go in because so many jelly fish:confused: its teasing at its worst...all you want to do is cool off. So its nice to be able to pack up, head home and just dive in the pool. cant give figures on how much more a house with a pool costs but my advice would be get one from the start then its always kinda in your budget and not seen as a added expense. At the end of the day most of us come here for a certain lifestyle, a pool is part of that lifestyle for lots of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry267 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 We have just had our first summer here and we don't have a pool. As we arrived last winter it wasn't at the top of the list at the time. However once our lease is up this winter we are looking to move rental and a pool is top of the list!

verystormy Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 We have always had a pool and regard it as essential. We are building our first home at the moment and will be saving like mad soon to get one put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
