Our standard
Every pool, checked before it’s listed.
Search filters are only as good as the facts behind them. So every listing says how its pool details were checked, and when: owner-verified, or editorial with its sources cited.
How we verify- 01
Private to your group
We list only pools reserved for the booking party: no shared resort or community pools.
- 02
Setting and heating, documented
Indoor, outdoor or covered, and how it’s heated: confirmed by the owner or manager, or taken from published sources we cite on the listing.
- 03
Real photos, real capacity
Every listing photo shows the actual property and is licensed for our use. Guest capacity and bedrooms come from the owner or the cited source.
