What guests expect — and what sells

Promote the features that make your pool stand out:

• Clean, heated water (if available) and routine maintenance.
• Shade options: umbrellas, covered patio, pergola.
• Safety features: fenced yard, pool alarm, life ring, clearly posted rules.
• Extras: BBQ, outdoor seating, pool floats, sound system, smart locks, on-site parking.

Listings that include updated photos, accurate capacity, and clear rules consistently earn more bookings and better reviews.

Pricing and earnings

Typical Tempe hourly rates vary by pool size, amenities, and event type. Hosts commonly price between $40–$250+ per hour. Hosting a few hours on weekends can add up quickly—use our earnings calculator to estimate your potential income and set competitive rates: Earnings Calculator.

Tips:

• Start with a competitive introductory rate to build reviews, then raise prices for peak times (evenings, weekends, university breaks).
• Consider a cleaning fee or minimum booking length for larger groups or parties.

Safety, rules, and good hosting practices

Protect your home and create a great guest experience:

• Post clear house rules about capacity, noise, parties, and children.
• Require a brief guest checklist or waiver if you prefer extra protection.
• Schedule professional cleaning or a fast turnaround routine between bookings.
• Consider offering or requiring a lifeguard for larger gatherings—this can justify higher rates.

Our liability insurance helps cover eligible incidents, but following best practices keeps everyone safer and reduces disputes.

Tempe-specific hosting tips

• Peak seasons: Spring and summer are busiest—update your calendar and rates before ASU move-in, homecoming, and major local events.
• Weekday demand: College groups and small gatherings often book weekday afternoons—be open to flexible hours.
• Weather: Nights cool off in fall; offering pool heating or clear temperature info improves bookings.
