Why Bloomington homeowners host their pools

• Earn flexible, local income during the warmer months without long-term commitments.

• Every booking includes $2M in liability insurance, included for hosts.

Whether you host pool parties for families near the Mall of America or offer quiet hourly swims for neighbors, hosting lets you monetize an underused asset while keeping your lifestyle first.

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 0% host fee through 2026 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 0% host fee (through 2026) you keep $6,000 — 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.
