There’s nothing better than escaping the summer heat in a cool swimming pool. But, on the other hand, a crowded, over-chlorinated public pool full of screaming kids doesn’t quite make for a relaxing time.

These 10 San Antonio homes for sale right now go a step further with their over-the-top pools, which include features such as waterfalls, fountains and lush landscaping to provide the perfect ambiance.
