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.

Pool Builder FAQs – Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

How much does a custom pool cost in Ponte Vedra Beach?
Ponte Vedra pool projects typically start around $70,000-$90,000 for a standard concrete build and run $100,000-$200,000+ when spas, water features, fire elements, LED lighting, and custom tile and decking are included. Projects in gated communities sometimes carry additional costs for HOA-required material specifications or equipment screening. We provide full, itemized quotes after a free in-home consultation – no guessing on your end.

Does Castle Pools build pools in Nocatee?
Yes – Nocatee is one of our most active areas. The Nocatee master association has its own architectural review process separate from St. Johns County permitting, and it applies to most neighborhoods within the development. We’ve built in Crosswater, Cypress Trails, Riverwood, and other Nocatee communities and know the HOA submission requirements well.

Can you build in gated communities like Sawgrass or Marsh Landing?
Yes. Communities like Sawgrass Players Club, Marsh Landing, and similar gated Ponte Vedra developments all require HOA architectural review committee approval before permits can be pulled. The review typically requires a detailed site plan, equipment specifications, fencing details, and sometimes a landscape impact statement. We prepare the full package and have navigated these reviews before. Equipment screening requirements and specific decking materials are common HOA conditions – we factor all of this into the design from the start.

What pool features are most popular in Ponte Vedra?
The most requested additions in Ponte Vedra builds are: integrated spas, sun shelves with bubblers, waterfalls or sheer descent features, fire bowls, LED color lighting, and smart automation (phone control for everything). Travertine and paver decking are more common here than standard concrete decking. If you have a specific vision – even something you’ve seen at a hotel or resort – bring photos to the consultation and we’ll tell you exactly what it takes to build.

Is Castle Pools licensed to build in Ponte Vedra and St. Johns County?
Yes. Florida Residential Pool/Spa Contractor license CPC 1458960 and Commercial Contractor license CPC 1460170 are both valid statewide. We are fully bonded and insured, and a member of the Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA). We’ve been building in the Ponte Vedra Beach and Nocatee area since 2007.
