You Don't Have to Pay Cash for Your Dream Pool
Most custom pools in South Shore FL are financed. Paying for a $100,000+ pool in cash is the exception, not the rule. And with today's available financing options, spreading that investment over time is often the smartest move you can make.
At South Shore Pools & Luxury Outdoors, we partner with Lyon Financial — one of the nation's top pool financing specialists — to help Apollo Beach, Ruskin, and Sun City Center homeowners get into the pool of their dreams without financial stress.
Why Pool-Specific Financing Is Often Better Than a HELOC
- No equity required: You don't need home equity built up to qualify
- Faster approval: Decisions in as little as 24–48 hours
- No home appraisal
- Fixed rates: Predictable monthly payments, unlike a variable HELOC
- Longer terms: Up to 20 years, keeping payments manageable
Lyon Financial: Our Preferred Partner
Lyon Financial has been financing pools for over 40 years. They specialize exclusively in pool and outdoor living loans.
- Loan amounts: $35,000 to $300,000+
- Terms: Up to 20 years
- Fixed interest rates
- No prepayment penalties
- Soft credit pull for pre-qualification (won't affect your score)
Other Financing Options
Home Equity Loan: Fixed lump sum, potentially tax-deductible interest, but slower approval and requires an appraisal. Cash-Out Refinance: Rolls pool cost into your mortgage — typically the lowest-rate option. Personal Loan: Fast and no collateral needed, but higher rates. Best for smaller remodels under $30,000.
Estimated Monthly Payments
At a $100,000 loan (rates subject to change):
- 10-year term: approximately $1,100–$1,350/month
- 15-year term: approximately $850–$1,050/month
- 20-year term: approximately $720–$900/month
Many homeowners find that financing a luxury pool costs about the same monthly as a car payment — for an asset that adds real value to their home and years of enjoyment.
