About Us
Finding Inspiration In Every Turn
Island Way Pools has been building pools since 2007 under the Hidalgo name. Recently, Justin Hidalgo took the lead reigns as license holder. We have been focused on building a fresh team of young individuals who are creative and motivated to build the most innovative pools our customers dream up.
Meet The Team
I am a Florida native and have lived in Pinellas County my entire life. I graduated from Palm Harbor University and went to St. Petersburg College.
My role here at Island Way is to over-see and perform the tasks involved in the sales process. I strive to provide exceptional customer service as I communicate with clients on a day to day basis.
I design all 3D renderings in house and they are always custom to the clients property and dream for their backyard. I include everything in your rendering from pool design, spa, screen enclosure, outdoor kitchens, custom decks, fire features, water features, and infinity edges. If you can dream it, we can build it.

Amber Lissy
Administrative Director
I was born and raised in the Island Estates Community and grew up working for my dad's logistics company which implemented small business skills in me from an early age. I studied business at St. Petersburg College. My upbringing, as well as my studies, have led me to follow my passion in working for small businesses and helping to contribute to their growth.
I began my career with Island Way Pools looking to gain knowledge and experience in marketing as well as the construction industry. As Vice President of Marketing, my role consists of social media management, advertising, and photography. I also assist with Customer Relations which includes managing warranty claims and customer satisfaction.
When not working I enjoy playing with my dogs, boating, and cooking for my family. I am a crazy dog mom and my two dogs are my life! Family is extremely important to me so I try to spend as much time with them as I can.

Jonathan Tuttle
Project Manager
I am a transplanted western New Yorker. I grew up near Buffalo and graduated with honors from Niagara University's College of Hospitality and Tourism Management. Its location on an international border in a world renowned tourism center gave me a great start in the hospitality industry.
My constant passion has been helping individuals to achieve their lifestyle goals. My move to Florida and my love for this new region made my move into the outdoor living profession a natural one; a marriage of the Florida outdoors lifestyle and helping individuals/families find their new perfect setting. My experience within various upper management roles made my transition into Island Way Pools seamless.
When not working I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new places to eat, hike, swim or go boating. I am a die hard Buffalo Bills fan as they are my home team. My eight year and sixteen year old daughters are my world.
