Once the largest and most prosperous American colony, Virginia’s erstwhile capital Williamsburg packs quite a punch. This 18th-century city is a pleasing mishmash of a living museum and a bustling college town, with College of William & Mary students and faculty calling the place home. Williamsburg takes you back to a time when the concept of a “United States of America” was being born and the new country’s foundational ideals were taking shape. Today, the old streets of Colonial Williamsburg boast stunning historical landmarks such as The Capitol, Governor’s Palace and George Wythe House that let you peek into a bygone era.
There’s so much to explore in Williamsburg that you may find yourselves utterly exhausted. A pool would be just the thing to help unwind from a long day of exploring the place. Check into one of the top Airbnbs with pool in Williamsburg, Virginia, to beat the tiredness.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to pool. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on May 30, 2024.

6. Perfect rental for a digital detox
Here’s a second-floor unit in a standalone bungalow. There is no WiFi and even television access is limited here, so it is the perfect spot for a digital detox. So, why not spend your days chilling at the private pool? You can also make use of the wading pool when you want to dangle your toes in the water, but not really splash around.

You can even walk up to the dock and soak in panoramic river views for as far as the eye can see.
Note that the access to this rental’s living space is via steep stairs. Keep this in mind if your group includes kids or people with mobility issues.
