Tranquil Oasis

With so much demand from work or family activities, it is difficult to find some moments to relax from stress. We feel we sorely need a tranquil oasis to soothe frayed nerves at the end of a very demanding day.

Water has always been considered nurturing and soothing. There's nothing like a cool dip in a deep blue swimming pool - especially on a hot summer day... to relax us.

However, much as many people would love having a swimming pool, having one is a luxury only a few could actually afford.

For the few lucky homeowners, a pool can not only enhance a house, it can also become an important activity area for family and friends.

Let's take a look at some of these dreamy oasis... and wish we could have any one of those featured! Haha...
