We are going to Perth too and around the same time as you!!
From our research, we have also gathered that trying to find somewhere in Perth with a pool is quite hard work!!
Initially, we were looking at Brisbane and it seemed that almost every house has a pool there!
I think the thing with Perth is.....they are so close to a beach that most people don't bother with the expenditure of having one fitted....
We have been looking at the Rockingham/ Waikiki/ Warnbro/ Safety Bay areas in SOR......you can get a nice 4 BR 2 BR Florida style villa/ house for around $200 - $250 a week ...........how cheap is that?
We have decided that we are gonna go with an inground outdoor spa bath instead (much better when its just you and the missus )
Seems to be a few rentals around with this option, although dont know how popular they would be!
Hope this helps!!!!

Re: Rental with pool in Perth!!!!
Have got a link to some information that may be of help. A lot of their rentals have a pool. You will need to register with the site before you can take advantage of the offers. PM me if you have any queries.

My friend is in Joondalup with 4 bedrooms 2 bedrooms large gardens and a gorgeous pool for $275. There are plenty of houses with pools, just because they are not mentioned in the text of the ad doesn't mean the house doesn't have one, I have found that out after many hours of trawling through them on the net. Look at them all you will be surprised how many have more hidden treasures!! Mandy

Re: Rental with pool in Perth!!!!
The majority of rental properties don't have swimming pools, the reason being that they are extra hassle and expense for the owner and generally thought of as being a bit of a risk for investors. But you do get some, you will find more in older areas as opposed to new areas, someone buying a brand new home as a rental won't spend the $20k+ to put a pool in. Price wise you probably won't pay more than $20pw more for a home with a pool, but you may well find that you will find a much nicer home without a pool for the same price.
The other problem can be securing the lease on a home with a pool, usually there will be several families after the same place, i have a friend who viewed one last week and there were 12 applications went in for the same place.
Narrowing your rental choice to one with a pool will usually mean you will not be able to choose the area you want to live in as it will be dictated to by whats available.

Finding a decent rental has been the most stressful aspect of our time here.

We have just had Belladonna staying with us and I dont think they were disappointed. Just an option, have a look. Suzette and Will.

Re: Rental with pool in Perth!!!!
Finding a rental when you arrive is hard enough. Majority of agents couldnt care less, as the market is so healthy here. Finding the ideal home to rent is luck. We tried to find a house with pool and AC, but had to settle with just AC. we saw some houses with pools, but they were not fenced, and as we have young children, this was a no no.
As soon as you arrive, go and see all the Real Estate agents, and buy the West Australian paper on a Wednesdy and Saturday, where they have private and Real Estate rentals.
