My extended family and I vacation every year to the outer banks of North Carolina. Every year we rent a house with a pool in the back, and every year there’s a bathroom with a door out to the pool. It comes in handy if you want to clean up before entering the main part of the house, so I can understand the door to outside. Now putting a big window in the door on the other hand…

The house I grew up in – and am moving back into – has just such a door, and it leads right to the patio/pool. It’s great to be able to just head right for the shower after a dip!

I think the door is there for the convenient “airing out”. Maybe.

Depends what else is on the property. I have a place in Palm Springs and MANY of the houses there have doors to a bathroom from the back yard directly into the bathroom so that you can come in from swimming and go directly to the shower.

Yep, my best friend growing up had this, and it was pretty handy when we were playing Slip ‘n Slide in the backyard.

In the neighborhood I grew up in, every house had a bathroom with a door to outside. It was actually very handy since most homes have swimming pools in the area. Access directly to the bathroom from outside is pretty great after mowing the lawn, gardening or if your dog (or kids) roll in the mud.

Where we live now (3 states away), just about everyone I know who has waterfront property has a door from the bathroom to the outside.

I don't know why anyone would knock on that door. It surely leads to the deck or backyard. Not the place visitors go to knock on the door.

I’ve seen this a lot in the City in which I live. It results from someone adding a bathroom on the mainfloor of a rowhouse that is divided into multiple apartments. Basically, the bathroom is added on behind or near the kitchen, which is generally located in the rear of the home. Thus, the rear door that was in the kitchen then has to be placed in the bathroom.
