Had one complete with a spa in our first home for 6 years, but never again for all the reasons above, plus the cost of equipment repair and replacement. We rarely used it other than use by guests and visiting grandchildren. We both prefer active use of a pool and enjoy lap swimming and water sports, so we use The Villages' pools almost daily, weather permitting. IMHO, most private pools are not large enough to do much other than "wallowing" or just to look pretty.
