Look at These Private Pools You Could Rent

Somehow it happened: you’ve got a weekend on your calendar without a pool party in it. First: breathe. Next: go online and rent one of these houses that have pools with beautiful views, maybe a zipline or a pirate theme.

An Off-Grid Grotto with a Zipline

An Off-Grid Grotto with a Zipline

You Require: An out-of-the-way floating funhouse for your next cannonball competition.
You’ll Receive: An Alhambra home with an average SoCal pool. Well, average except for the multiple HD screens, zipline, fountains, water basketball court, two waterfalls, grotto, underwater music... we’ll just stop there, but really, we could continue.

A Pool Accessed via Living Room Window

A Pool Accessed via Living Room Window

You Require: A pool you can immediately access from your living room. No, immediately.
You’ll Receive: An angular pool built right alongside a glass-box Mount Olympus house. So you can jump from the living room right into the pool. S’more alert: it also has its own fire pit.

Oh, Just an Amazing Mulholland View...

Oh, Just an Amazing Mulholland View...

You Require: A central-casting-perfect Cahuenga Pass pool for your next industry bacchanal.
You’ll Receive: See photo. Try and come up with reason not to dip into your summer-pool slush fund for this heated saltwater pool with its negative edge perched right over the canyons. Or don’t try to do that.

If a Private Pool Isn’t Enough Water...

If a Private Pool Isn’t Enough Water...

You Require: Something more than your own private pool.
You Require: Just... something more.
You Require: A private... larger body of water.
You’ll Receive: A Malibu mansion with its own full-size infinity pool. Which comes with its own pathway to a private beach. Which comes with its own Pacific Ocean.

A Pirate Pool with a Lazy River

You Require: A place to call your own. Preferably with a tasteful pirate theme.
You’ll Receive: A $6 million Covina mansion with a pirate-themed pool. It comes with a lazy river, water cannons, footbridges and a personal desert island. Funny, you were just talking about getting a pirate-themed pool.
