How hosting works (simple, host-first)

1. Create a listing with photos and a clear description of your pool and rules. See our full hosting resources for tips on great listings here.
2. Choose hourly rates and available times; you remain in control of who books and when.
3. Guests book, show up, enjoy your pool, and you get paid. We deduct a 10% flat host fee and the rest is yours.
4. Each reservation comes with $2M liability coverage included, for added peace of mind.

Earnings: what you can realistically expect

Earnings depend on your pool type, location, hours, and pricing. Here’s a simple example to illustrate: if you rent hourly at $50 for 10 hours a week during peak summer (12 weeks), gross income could be $6,000. After the 10% host fee you keep $5,400 — and you also benefit from included liability insurance.

Safety, rules, and guest expectations

As a host, safety comes first. You set house rules like maximum party size, lifeguard requirements, or poolgate locking. The platform’s $2M liability policy adds a layer of protection for qualified bookings, but it’s also smart to:

• Keep the pool and decking well-maintained.
• Post clear pool rules and emergency contact information.
• Consider requiring proof of basic swimming ability for certain bookings.

We prioritize hosts’ control and comfort — you choose the rules that keep your property and neighbors comfortable.

Practical tips to make hosting easy and profitable

• Take high-quality photos at peak sunlight to highlight your pool.
• Offer package add-ons like towels, seating, or a BBQ area to increase value.
• Block off days you want private and open short windows to attract more hourly bookings.
• Keep a short welcome packet that explains rules, parking, and restroom access.

Bloomington-specific considerations

• Summer weekends and holiday weeks are your busiest and most profitable times. Plan availability around those peak periods.
• Be mindful of neighborhood noise rules and parking; clear guest instructions reduce complaints and improve your rating.
• If your pool is heated or an indoor/covered pool, mention that — it extends your hosting season and attracts renters outside the warmest months.
