Resort-Style Custom Pools for Ponte Vedra Beach and the Nocatee Area
Ponte Vedra Beach homeowners typically want more than a standard backyard pool. The area’s lot sizes, property values, and lifestyle call for resort-style designs – pools with spas, sun shelves, waterfalls, fire features, and smart automation that make the backyard a destination. That’s exactly what Castle Pools, LLC builds.
We’re a Jacksonville-area concrete pool contractor that has been building in Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, and the Beaches area since 2007. Andrew Castleman – the owner – handles your design, pricing, and project oversight personally. Ponte Vedra’s gated communities and HOA architectural review processes are something we navigate regularly, and we build the HOA approval step into your project timeline from the start.
Gated Community Experience
Sawgrass Players Club, Marsh Landing, Crosswater at Nocatee, and similar communities all require HOA architectural review before construction. We prepare the complete submission package – site plan, equipment specs, decking details, fencing – and have worked with these communities before.
Resort-Level Design
Ponte Vedra projects often include spas, water features, fire bowls, LED lighting, tanning ledges, and smart automation. Andrew designs these into the pool from the start – not as afterthoughts. If you want a backyard that looks like it belongs at a resort, that’s what we build.
Concrete Only
Every Castle Pools build is concrete – no fiberglass, no vinyl liner. Concrete is the only material that can be shaped to match a complex design, and it holds up indefinitely in Florida’s climate with proper care. It’s what the resort-style projects in Ponte Vedra demand.

Custom Pool Features for Ponte Vedra Homeowners
From a clean, modern lap pool to a full resort-style backyard with a spa, waterfall, and fire features – we design and build to what you actually want.
Custom Inground Concrete Pools
Any shape, any depth. Concrete is the only material that lets you design a truly custom pool – not a fiberglass mold dropped in the ground.
Integrated Spas
Inground spas attached to the pool – heated separately or spill over into the pool. The most requested upgrade in Ponte Vedra builds.
Sun Shelves & Tanning Ledges
Shallow entry areas (6″-12″) with room for loungers in the water. We add bubblers and umbrella sleeves as options.
Waterfalls & Sheer Descents
Rock waterfalls or clean sheer-descent water features that flow into the pool. Both aesthetic and auditory – turns the backyard into an escape.
Fire Bowls & Fire Features
Gas-fed fire bowls placed on the pool deck or integrated into the pool edge. Popular for evening ambiance in Ponte Vedra outdoor spaces.
LED Color Lighting
Full-spectrum LED lights that change color via remote or phone app. Makes nighttime swimming an experience, not an afterthought.
Smart Pool Automation
Control your pool, spa, lights, and water features from a phone app. Adjust temperature before you leave work. Increasingly standard in Ponte Vedra builds.
Pool Decking & Coping
Travertine, pavers, or cool-deck – we help select materials that meet HOA requirements and match your home’s aesthetic.
Pool Financing
Financing available through Lyon Financial. We can walk you through options during the consultation.
Building a Pool in Ponte Vedra: What to Expect
Ponte Vedra projects often involve HOA review, custom design work, and multiple permit touchpoints. Here’s how we manage all of it.
1. Free In-Home Consultation
Andrew comes to your Ponte Vedra property and walks through what you want. You’ll get honest guidance on design options, realistic pricing, and what the HOA and permit process looks like for your specific community. This is a working conversation, not a sales visit.
2. Design, HOA & Permits
We draft your custom pool design and prepare your HOA architectural review submission. Once the HOA approves, we pull St. Johns County building permits. We handle both processes and keep you informed of status throughout. No chasing approvals on your own.
3. Construction & Completion
We manage excavation, plumbing, electrical, shotcrete, finish work, and decking – coordinating every inspection through final. Most Ponte Vedra projects are swim-ready within 3-4 months of breaking ground, with more complex builds running a bit longer.
