Why Highland homeowners host

Our platform charges a straightforward 10% flat host fee — no surprise commissions — so you know exactly what you’ll earn.

Step-by-step: How to start hosting in Highland

  1. Create your listing: Add photos, a clear description, and list the pool features (size, depth, heating, safety gates, spa). Good photos and accurate descriptions help bookings.
  2. Set your rules and schedule: Choose the hours you want to host, guest limits, noise rules, and whether you allow parties or require additional cleaning fees.
  3. Price by the hour: Consider higher weekend and holiday rates. For Highland, many hosts start between $40–$125+/hour depending on pool size and amenities. Use our earnings tool to estimate realistic income: Earnings Calculator
  4. Publish and welcome guests: We manage bookings and payments. You’ll get notifications, guest details, and can message guests before their reservation.

Tips to attract local guests

  • Highlight family-friendly features: shallow entry, pool toys, shaded seating, and restrooms.
  • Offer add-ons: lifeguard services, extra towels, cornhole or grill access for an additional fee.
  • Emphasize safety and cleanliness: show recent cleaning, chlorine levels, and any fencing or alarms.
  • Share neighborhood conveniences: proximity to Highland parks, short drive times from nearby cities, and easy parking.

Safety, insurance, and local rules

Safety is a top priority. All bookings include $2M liability insurance — peace of mind for both hosts and guests. Still, follow local rules and best practices:

  • Check HOA covenants and local ordinances in Highland for any short-term rental or pool-use restrictions.
  • Post clear pool rules (no diving, no glass, children must be supervised) and make them part of your listing.
  • Consider optional lifeguard services for larger gatherings or if you prefer not to be solely responsible during bookings.

Maximize earnings without extra work

  • Optimize your calendar: open more hours on hot weekends, close during maintenance or family time.
  • Use dynamic pricing tactics: increase rates for holiday weekends and local event days.
  • Keep the pool guest-ready: clear signage, easy entry, and a tidy surrounding area speed up turnovers.
