When comparing pool builders, the lowest bid doesn’t always mean the best value. At Staycation Creation, we help you look beyond the initial cost to build and consider the long-term cost to own. Energy efficiency, durability, and reduced maintenance can save thousands over the life of your pool—protecting both your wallet and your weekends.

When investing in a pool, shopping around is essential—but comparing proposals can be tricky when most builders leave out key details. At Staycation Creation, we encourage homeowners to explore their options because we know our quality, value, speed, and pricing stand apart. Once you experience other sales methods, you’ll see just how different our process really is—and why families trust us to deliver a pool that’s built to last.

At Staycation Creation, we’re more than pool builders—we’re your neighbors. As a family-owned business rooted in Baldwin County, we understand what local families value most: honesty, accountability, and lasting quality. Unlike out-of-town companies, we’re here before, during, and long after construction, ensuring your backyard investment is supported for years to come. Choosing local means choosing trust, community, and craftsmanship you can count on.

A pool is just the beginning. At Staycation Creation, we design complete outdoor living spaces with kitchens, fire features, pergolas, and lighting that make your backyard as functional as it is beautiful. These features transform your space into a true retreat—perfect for family gatherings, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing year-round.

Your backyard should grow with your family. At Staycation Creation, we design pools and outdoor spaces that adapt to every stage of life—from safe play areas for little ones to hangout spots for teens and gathering spaces for milestones. With durable finishes and timeless design, your backyard becomes the setting for memories that last a lifetime.

At Staycation Creation, we combine craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to bring your dream backyard to life. Through our exclusive partnership with ProTerra Imagery, we use drone mapping and 3D design to capture every detail of your property and create a lifelike model before construction begins. This means no guesswork, no surprises—just a clear vision of your future outdoor space, built with precision and confidence.

Your backyard deserves more than a pool—it deserves a plan. At Staycation Creation, we believe every outdoor space should be designed with purpose, flow, and family in mind. That’s why we take a master plan approach, using drone technology and 3D modeling to show you the full potential of your property before construction even begins. From pool placement to patios, landscaping, and gathering spaces, our designs focus on how your family actually lives, so you can enjoy a backyard that grows with you for years to come.

When it comes to pools, the real cost isn’t just what it takes to build — it’s what it takes to own. Many builders cut corners upfront, leaving homeowners with outdated equipment, higher energy bills, and costly repairs down the road. At Staycation Creation, we take a different approach. By showing you modern pool technologies from day one, we empower you to choose whether to save money now or in the long run. From energy-efficient pumps and smarter filtration to durable finishes and transferable warranties, our master-planned pools are built to last — protecting your investment and giving you peace of mind for years to come.

A swimming pool is a major investment — and the builder you choose makes all the difference. The right questions can uncover hidden costs, cut through vague promises, and protect your backyard vision from common pitfalls. In this post, we share the 10 essential questions every homeowner should ask before signing a contract, along with how Staycation Creation Pools & Outdoor Living delivers answers that set us apart.

A pool design shouldn’t stop at the water’s edge — it should bring your entire backyard vision to life. Too often, builders hand homeowners a rough sketch or a delayed 3D rendering that barely scratches the surface. At Staycation Creation Pools & Outdoor Living, we deliver a complete master plan in your first consultation. With real-time 3D design, face-to-face collaboration, and every detail included — from pools and spas to kitchens, fire features, and landscaping — you’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a design that’s truly yours.

Too many builders lure homeowners in with cheap “basic” packages, only to upsell critical pool technology at double the cost once construction begins. At Staycation Creation Pools & Outdoor Living, we do things differently. From pumps and filters to skimmers and automation, we put every option on the table up front — no surprises, no hidden upgrades. With full transparency and expert guidance, you’ll understand how each choice impacts your long-term costs, time, and enjoyment, giving you the freedom to decide what matters most.

Most pool builders rush through consultations, ask a few basic questions, and leave you waiting weeks for a design that barely scratches the surface. At Staycation Creation Pools & Outdoor Living, we believe the consultation should be the most exciting part of your pool journey. That’s why we reserve at least two hours to design face-to-face, capture your vision in real time, and deliver a complete 3D master plan by the end of the first meeting. No more apples-to-oranges proposals — just clarity, confidence, and a design you’ll love.
