With 2 porches, one is front and one is back. The back porch is on the front house. The front porch is on the back house.

The back porch is screened and part of the main residence. The pool/guest house has no porch. Hopefully the photos and survey help clarify. Thanks for taking the time to review. Very kind community.

Thanks for the feedback. The main residence has a front and back porch. The back porch is 240 square feet, 20 feet wide x 12 feet length. That means 12 feet from the backdoor to the edge of the porch pad which will flow directly to 2 feet of decking and coping to the water’s edge.

This image is an earlier version of the design, before the cutouts were included to create extra walkway space.

The 27’ wide building is the pool/guest house. The original design shows 5’ 6” of deck area between the guest house and the water’s edge. The actual measure is approximately 4 feet, inclusive of coping. I don’t have an exact measure of the current door from the left corner of the pool house. It will be replaced, likely with sliding french patio doors. We will be aiming to align the opening to the larger walkway area created by the cutout.

To me it does.

If the left pane was the slider (looking at it) that would give you 9ft in front of the 'open' door.

If you're worried about guests seeing in the dark, install a motion activated spotlight back there somewhere. Preferably on a switch so you can turn it off if you'd like to enjoy an evening out there without it being obnoxiously lit.

If somebody still happens to fall into the pool, it's water, not lava. You'll owe them a new cellphone.

*small children needing supervision is a hard rule which always applies no matter who/what/where you are.

Thank you!
