There are projects that stand out—not just for their design, but for the story behind them. This recent installation by Parrot Bay Pools & Spas in Emerald Isle is one of those special builds.
From Dream to Reality
When these homeowners first sat down with our team, they didn’t just talk about a pool—they talked about a lifelong dream. After purchasing their retirement home in one of North Carolina’s most beautiful coastal destinations, they knew this was the moment to finally bring that vision to life.
Now, that dream is almost complete.
The Pool They Always Imagined
The homeowners selected the Aviva Pools Intrigue 30, a sleek and modern fiberglass design that perfectly complements both relaxation and entertaining. Finished in Amalfi Turquoise, the water delivers that stunning, resort-style color that feels right at home along the Crystal Coast.
To elevate the look even further, they chose a white glass tile, adding a clean, reflective detail that will pair beautifully with their ongoing home renovation.
Designed for Coastal Living
Emerald Isle presents unique building considerations—particularly impervious surface restrictions, which limit how much hardscape can be installed on a property. Instead of traditional concrete decking, these homeowners made a smart and stylish choice:
- A custom wood deck surrounds the pool
- It keeps the project compliant with local regulations
- It enhances the natural, coastal aesthetic of the home
The result is a space that feels warm, elevated, and perfectly in tune with its environment.
Safety Meets Simplicity
To complete the project, Parrot Bay Pools installed an automatic pool cover—a feature that provides:
- Enhanced safety for family and guests
- Energy efficiency by retaining heat
- Reduced maintenance and debris
It’s a practical addition that ensures the pool is as easy to own as it is beautiful.
A Home in Transformation
While the pool is now complete, the home itself is still undergoing a transformation. The homeowners are in the process of painting the exterior white, which will create a bright, timeless coastal look. As well as completing landscaping.
Once finished, the contrast between the crisp white home, the natural wood decking, and the vibrant Amalfi Turquoise water will be nothing short of stunning.
More Than a Pool
This project is a reminder of why we do what we do. It’s not just about installing pools-it’s about helping families step into the life they’ve always envisioned.
For these homeowners, their Emerald Isle property isn’t just a house anymore.
It’s their dream retirement home, complete with the pool they’ve been waiting for their entire lives.
