Make Home the Staycation

Turning a Standard Pool Cage Into a Poolside Getaway

Davenport grew up around the vacation. Out here near the parks and the resort communities, nearly every home comes with a screened pool cage — it’s the standard feature, whether the house is a full-time home or a short-term rental. But the standard version is just that: a pool, a bare deck, and screen, with none of the resort feeling that drew people to this part of Florida in the first place. The one amenity everyone here has is also the one most often left as a blank slate.

That pool cage can become the retreat it should be. A poolside lounge with real shade and seating, a summer kitchen and bar for entertaining at the water, resort-style deck and lighting, all designed within the screened enclosure so it feels like a getaway rather than a leftover. For a full-time Davenport family, it makes home feel like the staycation you moved near the parks for; for an owner who hosts, it’s the poolside space guests remember. Either way, it takes the amenity you already have and makes it live like the resort just down the road.

Planning the Poolside

Worth Considering for a Poolside Retreat

A few questions worth settling before a resort-style poolside project on a Davenport home.

  • Decide How You’ll Use the Poolside

    A resort-style pool area can lean toward quiet lounging, poolside entertaining, or both, and that shapes everything from the bar to the seating. Deciding early whether the space is mainly your own staycation retreat or a place to host — or a rental amenity guests will use — is what lets the design deliver the poolside experience you actually want.

  • Design Within the Screened Enclosure

    Most Davenport pools sit inside a cage, and a resort feel comes from designing within it well — where the lounge, bar, and cover go, how the light works under the screen, and how the space flows around the water. Planning around the existing enclosure, or adjusting it where needed, is what turns a standard cage into a genuine retreat.

  • Plan Poolside Utilities and Layout Early

    A poolside summer kitchen or bar needs the right utilities and placement, and getting that planned early is what makes the difference between a real entertaining space and a grill on the deck. Access and layout are assessed up front by the professional you are connected with, so the poolside features you want fit cleanly within the pool area.

  • Build for Constant Poolside Exposure

    A pool area gets sun, humidity, splash, and heavy use, so materials and construction should be chosen for exactly that. We help you select deck, kitchen, and finish materials that hold up to constant poolside conditions, so a resort-style space keeps its look through the way it’s meant to be lived in.

Davenport Outdoor Living Questions

Davenport Poolside Outdoor Living, Answered

Our pool is just a screened cage and a bare deck. Can it feel like a resort?

That’s exactly what we help Davenport homeowners plan. A standard Davenport pool cage has all the raw ingredients — the pool, the deck, the enclosure — but none of the resort feeling. Designed shade and lounge seating, a poolside summer kitchen or bar, resort-style deck and lighting are added within the screened enclosure, so the space finally delivers the getaway feeling that a bare cage never does. You already have the amenity; the right plan and the right professional make it live like the resort down the road.

Can the project work within our existing pool enclosure?

Yes — most Davenport pools sit inside a cage, and planning within it well is central to how we help. We help you plan where the lounge, bar, and cover go, how the light and flow work under the screen, and how the space wraps the water, and where the enclosure needs adjusting, that becomes part of the scope for the professional doing the work. Working with the cage you already have is what turns a standard screened deck into a genuine poolside retreat.

Can a summer kitchen or bar be added by the pool?

Absolutely, and it’s what makes a pool area an entertaining space rather than just a place to swim. We help you plan a poolside summer kitchen and bar with the grill, counters, and storage you need, and the professional building it places and plumbs it to work within the enclosure so everything happens at the water instead of back inside. Planning the utilities and layout early is what makes it a real poolside kitchen rather than a grill on the deck.

We host guests. Will this make our pool area stand out?

That’s often the goal here. Near the parks, where so many homes have a similar pool cage, a genuinely resort-style pool area is the feature guests remember and talk about. Whether the home hosts family, friends, or visitors, a designed poolside space with a bar, shade, and lounge seating is exactly the kind of setting that makes a stay feel special and sets a Davenport property apart.

Will it stay comfortable in the Florida heat?

That’s a core part of the design. Within a screened enclosure, cover, shade, and seating are positioned so the poolside stays comfortable through the sun and the summer rain, rather than only working in the early morning or evening. Designing for shade and airflow is what makes a resort-style pool area usable all season instead of just on mild days.

How long does a poolside project take?

It depends on scope — a full resort-style pool area with a summer kitchen, bar, and covered lounge is a larger build than refreshing the deck, and material availability and permitting factor in. A focused poolside project moves faster than a complete transformation. The professional who quotes the work gives you an estimated timeline for your specific scope, rather than a general figure, and we help you understand what moves it.

Can we build the poolside in stages?

Yes. Many Davenport owners start with the deck and lounge, then add the poolside summer kitchen or bar later. We plan the full resort-style vision up front — even if built in stages — so the deck and layout set early leave room for the kitchen and features to follow without rework.

What materials hold up to constant poolside use?

Pavers, stone, and marine- or outdoor-grade components for poolside kitchens are chosen for how they take sun, humidity, splash, and heavy use. A pool area lives harder than a sheltered patio, so we specify for those conditions and talk through the upkeep involved, so a resort-style space keeps its look through the way it’s meant to be enjoyed.

How do we start the poolside project?
