A backyard that feels like a getaway, ten minutes off the freeway in Pinole. The pool is heated, so it stays swimmable well past summer — private swims, birthdays, or a big group afternoon with up to 25 people. Shaded seating, umbrellas and loungers for anyone who’d rather stay dry, and the lights come on at night. Bring a cooler and a playlist and make an evening of it. Five stars from every guest who has booked it so far.
