It’s that time of year, when minds turn to thoughts of warm weather rentals and planning for summer vacation. Travelers are starting to picture what their ultimate holiday destination looks like. And almost every time, that perfect vacation rental involves a pool.

Pools are, hands-down, one of the most-coveted elements of vacation rental properties. Even in locations with easy access to a beach or lake, travelers want the sheer comfort and convenience that comes with having their own, on-property pool.

TurnKey Vacation Rentals offers amazing homes

with pools in some of the best climate-based vacation destinations—including options in California as diverse as Sonoma wine country and the Palm Springs desert, to the remote delights of Sedona, Arizona.

Here are 5 of our favorite vacation rentals with pools.

Located in California’s wine country, this

3 bedroom/2 bathroom Sonoma Valley cottage

also comes with a

separate 1 bedroom/2 bathroom guest cottage

on 6 private acres near Sonoma Square. Its thoughtful layout and spacious setting make it an ideal setting for groups of friends or families and it can easily sleep 8 people in privacy and luxurious comfort. The sweeping 100-acre lawn offers its own entertainment hub, including private swimming pool, hot tub, ping-pong table, and outdoor kitchen. If you can tear yourselves away, world-famous Napa and Armstrong woods are only a 40-minute scenic drive from the property. Enjoy sweeping mountain and redwood views as you take in the best that Sonoma has to offer (including 50 nearby wineries), before heading back to your own vacation rental haven…and a last sunset dip in that fabulous pool.
