A Walled Pool Courtyard Designed for Private Oceanfront Living

This Windsor pool design balances seclusion and openness just steps from the Atlantic.

At this estate in Windsor, an oceanfront community in Vero Beach, Florida, the pool is conceived not as a standalone feature, but as an extension of the home’s architecture and lifestyle. Tucked within tall garden walls, the pool courtyard offers a secluded outdoor retreat that balances openness with privacy, a hallmark of Windsor’s thoughtful approach to coastal living.

The design emphasizes intimacy and calm. Lounge areas are arranged to encourage lingering, whether for quiet afternoons or evening gatherings, while the surrounding walls shield the space from prevailing coastal winds without disrupting the flow of light and air. The result is a pool environment that feels both protected and expansive, a rare combination along the oceanfront.

Material choices echo the interiors, with natural stone surfaces, soft tonal palettes, and subtle textures that feel timeless rather than trend-driven. The pool’s placement reinforces indoor-outdoor continuity, allowing main living spaces to open directly onto the courtyard and creating an effortless transition between interior comfort and open-air relaxation.

Framed by dunes and just steps from the Atlantic, the pool becomes part of a layered outdoor experience rather than the sole focal point. It supports a lifestyle defined by flexibility, privacy, and understated elegance, reflecting the broader ethos of Windsor itself.

Beyond the residence itself, Windsor offers a lifestyle that has become increasingly sought after among luxury buyers: turnkey oceanfront living paired with world-class amenities and a high degree of privacy. Residents enjoy access to a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course, a tennis center designed by Stan Smith with planned pickleball and padel courts that will further expand the community’s wellness and sports amenities, and an acclaimed Equestrian Center centered around a regulation polo field.

In a market where buyers increasingly value resort-level amenities without sacrificing personal retreat, this pool courtyard stands out as a refined example of how luxury, landscape, and livability can coexist seamlessly along Florida’s Treasure Coast.

This property is listed $9.995 million.
