Finally, after 2 years of construction, the pool is almost ready for people to swim.

Well I can see why it took them 2 years to build it, it is huge!!!!!

[Camp Creek Kid]

I don't get the rocks. The pool looks like it should be in Las Vegas.

I agree with you CCK. Or somewhere in LA. It just looks so out of place for the area!!!!!!

I think they brought Vegas to us!

I bet kids will love it though ....... It's like a water park attraction stuck in the wrong setting.

I agree. It's just so "Bedrock". Where's Wilma and Betty?

[Skerm]

Actually, the pool blends in quite nicely with the neighborhood.
The design theme of this neighborhood is catch as catch can........
You have everything from little southern cottages to huge Destinesque stuccos to typical Florida "West Indie" homes to Rosemary type estates.........it's a neighborhood in search of an identity.

I like it!! Looks like there would be water falls flowing from the rocks..boy do I need a vacation!

[30A Skunkape]

Is that a real swim up bar under the falls? How delightfully 1977!

[Smiling JOe]

I do not know of a swim up bar, but the pool is huge, and what you see in my photos is maybe about half of the pool. It is slightly larger than the big pool at Seacrest, and now the largest in SoWal. I heard there were going to be 3 waterfalls into the pool. It may look out of place, but I guarantee you the kids staying in the homes here, will not care about a beach.

That is so Hugh Hefner Playboy grotto. Amazing. A pool bigger than Seacrest? Maybe? Hmm?

They did that on purpose. Hey I bet theirs isn't heated either.

If it is no one could afford the HOA dues! Maybe they can offer memberships to the west end of 30-a. We've got the east end covered!

[Mermaid]

That pool is way over-the-top. I can just see the droves of kids begging their parents to rent a cottage there, only for the pool. It's a fantastic kid magnet.

Does Cyress Breeze have any plans for a more normal, more adult pool or is this the one and only?

[Jdarg]

I agree. It's just so "Bedrock". Where's Wilma and Betty?

Dang you beat me to it. Should be renamed Bedrock Dunes.

How sad for those kids.

[dbuck]

My thoughts exactly, jdarg. Why pool it when you have the ocean, unless of course there is alot of seaweed.

Sand in the eyes, ears, crotch and Red and Yellow Flags flying in the Gulf, shark bites, salt in the eyes.

I was thinking the same thing

[Smiling JOe]

About 1 mile north of Gulf Place on Hwy 393, east side of road. Follow road back until you see the little town of Bedrock, aka - pool.

It won't hurt you.! Get over it.

[Smiling JOe]

I cannot tell you the last time went swimming in a pool. The points I mentioned are reasons for parents of children wanting them to play in the pool rather than the sand.

I know, I know, but I'm not one of those parents. I am the type that deliberately looks for a place without a pool. I always hated pool>beach>pool>beach, back and forth. We can swim in a pool in Kentucky. Ocean all the way.

The 14,400-square-foot lagoon pool at Cypress Breeze Plantation almost overwhelms the first-time visitor, but when a gentle breeze combines with the spray from one of the waterfalls the cooling sensation makes the pool the place to be.
“It was always our intention to make it a focal point, a centerpiece,” NFC Development Inc. senior vice president Henry De Varona said of the pool. “We didn’t want to be like other developments with a flat pool.”
By comparison, the Seacrest Beach pool, previously touted as the largest pool in South Walton is 12,000 square feet.
The Cypress Breeze project’s price tag jumped from $1.5 million to $4.5 million during the development. The pool development team included De Varona, NFC vice president Wayne Adkinson, Jeff Prescott and Jimbo Patterson.
“We just kept going and added this, and then someone suggested ‘wouldn’t this be neat’ and we added that and it grew,” De Varona said.
An elevator whisks visitors to a 3,000-square-foot multi-level observation deck for an overview of the three interconnecting pools with 10 waterfalls and the 100-acre property that includes 40 acres preserved in a natural state.
Cypress Breeze Plantation is a gated community off County Road 393, within walking distance of Gulf Place and Ed Walline Regional Beach Access.
NFC Development held a grand opening there on July 27 to show off the pool and kick off the sale of 103 lots. Additional lots are in development for phase four and should be completed next month, De Varona said.
De Varona, who lives in Cypress Breeze, said he hoped the homeowner’s association would consider renting out the pool for public events. With 180 others to decide, De Varona couldn’t guarantee that one day the pool would be available to the rest of the community, but he suggested “it would be a wonderful source of income.”

Good idea on the pool. It will work.

Not counting DeVarona--what do you think the market is for individuals over the age of 10 who want to own a home in a public water park

Seeing that the price of the pool "jumped" from $1.5 to $4.5 million this guy needs to be tied down before he starts moving in the Tilt-a-Whirl ride and the Whack-a-Mole game.

I'd hate to get the HOA bill for this little folly! Let the buyer beware!
