Thanks for sharing your experience MiaOKC. Helpful and interesting. And yes, that grass and bluestone look is what we envision, which is also very popular in the Hamptons (not too dissimilar from the Cape).

Ike. You're probably right on value. For added context though, this house is in a unique market (high end summer homes) where pools are highly desired and gunite is considered standard. Which is why we feel compelled to do it. Also, we much prefer the look and finishes.

We like the look of gunite much more, especially with the bluestone and grass we want to replace the decking with. It's also good for house values in this area. The expectation with nicer homes is a gunite pool.

Any rough idea of cost for converting from vinyl to gunite (in new england)? Should I make it a plain rectangle instead of this shape? FYI the main part is 40x20, it's heated and salt water, and I plan on replacing the brick with bluestone or similar.
