Why host your Chatham pool

  • Earn steady, flexible income without long-term commitment. Host for a few hours on weekends or open up weekday slots when you like.
  • Stay in control. You set availability, house rules, pricing and guest limits.
  • Keep your privacy and routines. Guests book specific time blocks and follow your instructions.

How hosting works

  1. List your pool by creating a quick profile. Add photos, describe features, and set rules. Start at list a pool.
  2. Guests search and book hourly sessions using our marketplace search at [/s].
  3. You approve or manage bookings, prepare the pool, and meet guests at check-in.
  4. After a successful booking you receive payout minus a 0% host fee. That simple structure keeps your earnings predictable.

Earnings and pricing

You decide the price per hour. Typical Chatham hosts price by pool size, features and peak times. Here are quick examples to help you set a starting rate:

  • Small backyard pool on a weekday afternoon: lower hourly rate.
  • Large pool with amenities like a hot tub or gazebo on a weekend: premium hourly rate.
  • Add-ons such as towel service or lifeguard can increase revenue.

You keep 100% of the booking total. There are no surprise commission tiers. That 0% host fee covers marketplace operation, secure payments and included insurance.

Preparing your pool for guests

A little preparation makes hosting easy and repeat bookings likely:

  • Clean and balance water before each booking.
  • Check filters and equipment for safe operation.
  • Provide clear access instructions and a tidy changing area.
  • Consider a short welcome note with rules and emergency contacts.

If you prefer, require guests to bring their own towels and supplies. You control every rule.

Safety and rules

  • Post rules near the pool and include them in your listing.
  • Limit group size based on pool capacity and your comfort.
  • Decide whether food, glassware or alcohol are allowed.

Practical tips for Chatham hosts

  • Schedule a set cleaning window between bookings.
  • Offer a few popular time blocks: morning swims, late afternoons and weekend blocks.
  • Use clear, friendly messaging for check-in and check-out.
  • Take high quality photos that show depth, steps and any special features like lighting, heaters or outdoor furniture.
