Welcome, Gresham Pool Owners

If you have a private pool in Gresham, you’re sitting on an easy way to earn extra income while sharing a great local resource.

• 10% flat host fee — no surprise commissions.
• $2M liability insurance included with each booking.

• Offer extra services (lifeguard, pool heating, towels) for an additional fee.

Preparing your pool for guests

• Safety first: post pool rules, provide a first-aid kit, and secure required barriers. Check HOA or city rules in Gresham if applicable.
• Clean and clear: a sparkling pool and tidy deck photos make listings pop and reduce complaints.
• Amenities: loungers, shade, Bluetooth speaker, pool toys, and clear changing areas get five-star reviews.
• Optional: schedule a certified lifeguard for larger groups or parties for extra safety and peace of mind.

Managing bookings and guests

• Be clear in your listing about maximum capacity, noise limits, and parking.
• Use messaging to confirm special requests and arrival time; good communication reduces misunderstandings.
• Consider set-up and clean-up fees in your pricing to cover extra time.

Safety & Insurance — covered, and practical advice

Every booking includes $2M in liability insurance, but you still control important safety measures. Consider setting local rules such as:

• No glass near the pool.
• Adult supervision for young children.
• No diving where the pool is shallow.

Maintain records of pool maintenance and water chemistry; these help demonstrate care and professionalism.

Local considerations for Gresham hosts

• Seasonality: Gresham’s best hosting months are late spring through early fall. Consider offering heated pool options in shoulder seasons.
• Neighborhood relations: Be upfront about parking limits, quiet hours, and guest behavior to keep neighbors happy.
• Permits & HOA: Confirm any local or HOA restrictions that could affect rentals.
