"Henry stoped by to adjust my pool valves and label each position. He also noted that my Polaris cleaner needed some brushes and new tracks which was preventing it from moving around the pool. Honest straight forward guy whom you will want to do business with!"

"I don't normally write reviews and I rarely recommend anyone for anything anymore because in the past it has come back to bite me but I am making an exception for Masterpice Pools. We had gotten several estimates for a pool and Masterpiece was the most reasonable. The reason I went with Masterpiece was from the moment my husband and I met him he was down to earth, patient and professional which carried over to his project manager Lee who constantly gave us updates on what was happening and going to happen next. They took the time to talk to us and put our mind at ease. We are so pleased with the results and the entire project was seamless. Next to buying our retirement home here in Florida this was the next expensive project we've ever done since we never had an in ground pool. All that being said i would highly recommend Masterpiece. We can't wait to enjoy our pool. Thank you Masterpiece!"

"I was looking for a pool care expert to come out and fix a pump issue but also teach me pool care 101 as I wanted to do this myself. He delivered all of above while providing his pool care. So he came on time, fixed the problem, cleaned the pool while teaching me. Highly recommend !"

"I would highly recommend this company especially Albert Pierret. He is honest & did not try to price gouge us like so many other pool companies out there. He gave us a price that was manageable & guided us every step of the way & has turned our pool from swamp to an actual swimming pool again!! We thank you!!!"

"Our experience with Hidden Cove Pools was 100% positive. John Adams and his sons were hard working, knowledgeable and friendly. They were also extremely trustworthy. We were completely comfortable having them on our property whether we were there or not. John was excellent in working with our vision. We knew the shape and size we wanted and Hidden Cove Pools designed and built it, incorporating the existing landscape to give us our dream pool and pool deck. Throughout the process they maintained positive and helpful communication with us. John took care of the coordinations for everything from permits to inspections to the pool cage installation to seeing that the water trucks were on site as soon as the pool was completed. We would highly recommend Hidden Cove Pools to anyone looking for a beautiful custom designed and built pool."

Most spool or cocktail pools take four to 12 weeks from breaking ground to the first swim, although timing varies depending on size, type, and site conditions. An above-ground, vinyl-lined model can be installed within three or four days once the kit arrives, whereas an in-ground spool adds excavation, plumbing, and inspection steps that extend the timeline. Because delivery alone can take a few weeks, lining up permits and any necessary digging or grading work during that window helps keep the project moving.
Cocktail pools are not intended for traditional swimming; they are built to deliver a cooling and relaxing experience. They provide an ideal setting for a refreshing dip rather than for exercise or lap swimming. The pool’s limited dimensions restrict vigorous activity and ensure safety, making it a perfect retreat for quick cool-downs and leisurely soaks in a compact, stylish design.
Spool pools have a depth of 38 to 42 inches, which is ideal for sitting, standing, and gentle dipping. This deliberate depth prioritizes safety and an inviting atmosphere while eliminating the possibility of diving or extended swimming. The measured design creates a secure and intimate space for relaxation, adding a refined touch to your outdoor area.
If you're handy and have experience with excavation, plumbing, and electrical work, consider installing your spool pool yourself. However, hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely and correctly. Pros have the expertise to handle all the technical details, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid costly mistakes.
Maintaining a spool pool demands regular cleaning, precise chemical balancing, and thorough system inspections. Homeowners should allocate time monthly for filter cleaning and water quality checks, in addition to performing seasonal maintenance, to ensure optimal system performance. Ongoing maintenance preserves water clarity and operational efficiency, reduces repair costs, and extends the pool’s lifespan, creating a safe and enjoyable environment.
Popular upgrades include a brick-paver patio for slip-resistant footing, low-voltage lighting for evening swims, and code-compliant fencing to boost safety. Additionally, consider adding landscaping or a fire pit to transform the pool area into a year-round hangout. Each feature raises overall costs, but thoughtful add-ons improve usability, curb appeal, and, in many markets, resale value.
