Pool, spa and outdoor spaces
Overview: The house has a new private, fenced pool, a private hot tub, a covered poolside lanai, a gated courtyard with a water feature, a grill and outdoor dining, with mountain and golf course views[1].
What does the pool area include?
The outdoor section of the listing names a private pool, a fenced pool, a hot tub, a covered poolside lanai, a gated private courtyard with a water feature, a fenced private yard, outdoor dining and seating, and an outdoor grill[1]. The banner on the home page reads “Now with Brand New Pool and Spa”, so the pool is a recent addition. Bicycles are provided, and the house is described as walkable to golf[1].
Is the hot tub private?
Yes. The owners call the home a desert retreat “with private hot tub” and suggest retreating to it “to watch the sun set over the mountains”[1]. In winter, desert nights in Borrego are cool: NOAA records show mean low temperatures of about 46°F in December and January at Borrego Desert Park[2], which is when a hot tub gets the most use.
What can be seen from outside?
The listing names mountain, golf course and courtyard views[1]. The bedroom patios face west across the De Anza course toward the mountains, and the owners suggest watching the sunrise with coffee from the enclosed courtyard. A 2024 release notes views of the Santa Rosa Mountains from the club[3]. At night, Borrego’s dark sky status makes the yard a place for stargazing; see dark skies.
How hot is it by the pool in summer?
Very. Mean daily highs at Borrego Desert Park run above 100°F from June through September, peaking at about 108°F in July, and the station recorded 122°F on 20 June 2016[2]. A pool helps, but the National Weather Service advises limiting time outdoors in extreme heat, drinking plenty of water and watching for signs of heat illness[4]. Shade from the covered lanai matters. See desert heat safety.
Are there pool rules?
The public house rules cover quiet hours (10 pm to 8 am), occupancy limits, no parties and no unregistered guests[5]. The listing says the house is not suitable for children or infants[1]. More detailed rules for the pool and spa may be in the printed house manual given to guests, which this guide has not seen[6]. Never swim alone, and keep glass away from the pool.
