35 Airbnbs With Amazing Pools, From Joshua Tree to Tulum
Of all the amenities a rental house can have, a pool is arguably the most fun. It’s a gathering spot that kids, adults, and grandparents can enjoy, is a private alternative to crowded beaches, and adds an all-day activity to the vacation itinerary. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a bachelorette party, or just a weekend getaway somewhere sunny, a pool is a welcome addition—and if it's an infinity pool or one with a hot tub, all the better.
Using Airbnb's “amazing pools” category and our own research (including a few properties we've been lucky enough to stay in ourselves), we’ve pulled together 35 of the best Airbnbs with private pools, whether you’re looking for a weekend rental in Palm Springs or finally checking off that bucket list trip (or return visit) to Italy. Even better, all of these Airbnbs are run by Superhosts, who each have a rating of 4.8 or above, a record of zero cancellations, and at least a 90 percent response rate, meaning they'll get back to you ASAP.
We've selected these listings based on Superhost status, editor stays, ratings, amenities, location, decor, and previous guest reviews. This gallery has been updated with new information since its original publish date.
