Take a dip in this pool, and you might not ever want to hop out. No one would blame you. After all, a single glance from the pool will encompass the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head, and the city lights of Honolulu in one panoramic vista. Worry not if you’d rather be dry: those same sweeping sights are viewable from the home’s interior via voluminous walls of glass. Yet, the Pacific is more than mere eye candy. This waterside home is truly on the oceanfront, with 72 feet of personal sandy shore only feet beyond the pool and yard.

After sailing up to this Boca Raton home’s private deep-water dock, the pool is the first thing to greet you. It’s an appropriate tone-setter, glinting under the Florida sunshine and looking plucked straight out of a travel brochure. Gaze out at the Intracoastal Waterway from the step-up spa or from around the poolside fire pit, either location greatly amplifying the resort-like atmosphere out back. Natural light effortlessly flows across the interior’s open layout, gracing every last corner and filling rooms with warmth up to the ceilings — be they double-height or coffered.

All-season swimming is on the docket at this Cambridge, Ontario, manse. Canada, perhaps famously, gets quite cold, but that’s no reason to sweat (or shiver) when you can delight in a skylit natatorium, featuring an expansive indoor swimming pool beneath 22-foot-high ceilings. A hot tub with a waterfall and a gas fireplace keep the space warm in their own ways, while the wet bar makes it ideal for hosting pool parties. In the summer months, slide open the glass doors and create an astounding indoor-outdoor nexus.
