Freeform pool with rock waterfall, raised spa and fire pit built by Vacation Pools

A Vacation
In Your Backyard

New pools and remodels, designed and built by an Indio family since 1985.

What we build

Brand-new pools and spas, and remodels that make an old pool feel new.

  1. New pool and spa construction

    Custom designs fitted to your yard, from simple family pools to rock waterfalls, tanning ledges and raised spas.

  2. Pool and spa remodels

    New plaster or pebble finish, tile, coping, decking, lighting and equipment for a pool that's seen better days.

We can also build what goes around it: pavers, turf, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and water features, as part of the same project.

Why homeowners choose us

Gerald Hampton still runs it
He has been building pools in the valley for decades, and it is still a family business.
One crew for the whole backyard
Pool, spa, pavers, turf and outdoor kitchen under one contract, so you are not juggling three companies.
Built to last, not to win the lowest bid
We are rarely the cheapest quote. We would rather build it once and build it right.
