I like our tanning ledge. We went smaller and are happy we did. It measures 5' x 6', a good compromise. Not intended for loungers. It's a good entry/exit location and we all use it as a dive in platform.
Our neighbors have a huge tanning ledge and it ends up being wasted space. It's also mostly used for entry/exit. Most people, except for small children aren't using it for a sitting/soaking area like you would think. Something to consider
BTW, I think your price seems pretty good. Pools in our area w/o a spa, 30x17, pebble, in floor, salt, heater, Aqualink RS, LED, 300 sq/ft of deck are going for the low $60K range. Pebble and in floor quickly add $10K and a spa is an additional $10K. Your rock work would probably be that around here.
