Welcome, Batavia pool owners

You live in a community that loves summer, backyard get-togethers, and making memories.

We make hosting simple and host-first: a flat 10% fee and $2M in liability insurance are included so you can earn with confidence.

Why host your pool in Batavia

• Earn extra money on your schedule: list by the hour and set the days and times that work for you.

Batavia is a tight-knit city where locals and visitors appreciate private, convenient places to swim. Whether your pool is family-sized, lap-friendly, or backed by a great patio, there’s demand for well-kept private pools—especially for small gatherings, birthday parties, and backyard photo shoots.

How hosting works (fast overview)

1. Create your listing with clear photos, accurate amenities, and your house rules.
2. Set the hourly rate, booking window, and availability.
3. Guests request a booking or book instantly (based on your preference).
4. You host the reservation and get paid after the visit, minus a 10% host fee.

Pricing and potential earnings

Pricing should reflect your pool’s condition, location, and what you include (towels, chairs, Bluetooth speakers, grill access). Some helpful guidelines:

• Small residential pools: competitive hourly rates attract repeat bookings.
• Upgraded pools or pools that include extras (heating, hot tub, privacy fences): command higher rates.

Example: If you set $50/hour for a 4-hour booking, gross is $200; after the 10% host fee, your payout is $180. Use our Earnings Calculator to model different rates and schedules [/p/earnings-calculator].

Create a standout Batavia listing

Photos and description

Take bright, clean photos during daylight, show water clarity, pool decking, and nearby amenities. In the description, highlight what makes your pool comfortable and safe: fencing, non-slip decking, parking, and how close you are to Batavia’s downtown or local neighborhoods.

Amenities and rules

Make clear what you provide (life rings, pool toys, towels) and your expectations (no glass, maximum guests, music rules). Clear rules avoid misunderstandings and lead to better reviews.

Availability and turnaround

Decide how much time you need between bookings for cleaning and set those buffers in your calendar. Weekends are often busiest—consider special rates for off-peak weekday bookings to increase utilization.

Safety, cleanliness, and hosting best practices

• Keep water chemistry balanced and document routine maintenance.
• Have safety equipment on hand: a life ring, shepherd’s hook, and first-aid kit.
• Consider whether you’ll require supervision for underage guests or opt for bookings that include a certified lifeguard.
• Communicate clearly with guests about entry, exits, and parking before arrival.

Hosts who communicate proactively and maintain a clean, safe pool earn better reviews and more repeat bookings.

Local considerations for Batavia hosts

Check Batavia and Genesee County rules for any local permits or noise ordinances that could affect events. Keep parking instructions handy for guests—Batavia’s neighborhoods vary in street parking availability. If your property is close to popular local spots, mention that in your listing to attract more bookings.
