Paradise Awaits Private resort style salt water pool w/waterfall features & A/C

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of vacation rentals that promise “resort-style” pools, and honestly? Most of them are just fancy ways of saying “we have a hot tub.” But this place – Paradise Awaits – actually delivers on that promise. The moment you walk into the backyard, you hear it before you see it: this gentle cascading sound from the waterfall features built right into the saltwater pool. I mean, it’s not Niagara Falls or anything, but there’s something genuinely relaxing about having that constant, soft water sound in the background while you’re floating around with a drink.

What really won me over was how thoughtfully everything’s set up. The saltwater system means you’re not dealing with that harsh chlorine smell and sting – your skin actually feels softer after swimming, which sounds like marketing nonsense but it’s true. The pool area feels completely private too, surrounded by landscaping that creates this little oasis vibe. And thank god for the A/C because you know how brutal it can get during peak season. The cooling system actually works well throughout the whole place, not just in the bedrooms like some rentals where you’re sweating in the kitchen while making morning coffee. The whole setup feels like someone actually lives here and cares about the details, rather than just throwing together a rental property.

Here’s the thing though – this isn’t one of those sterile, cookie-cutter vacation spots. There are little touches that make it feel authentic, like the way the outdoor lighting creates this warm ambiance in the evenings, or how the waterfall features have different levels so you get varying sounds depending on where you’re sitting. Parking was straightforward (always a worry with these residential-area rentals), and the check-in process was refreshingly simple. The 4-star rating feels about right – it’s not trying to be some over-the-top luxury experience, but everything works exactly as it should. I’d definitely book this again, especially if you’re the type who actually uses the pool rather than just taking Instagram photos by it. The saltwater system and those waterfall features really do create this ongoing sense of relaxation that you don’t get from your standard backyard setup.
