Why host your Joliet pool?

  • Earn extra money on your terms: rent by the hour, set your availability, and choose who can book.
  • Low fees: our platform takes a 0% host fee so you keep more of your earnings.
  • Meet neighbors and create a positive local experience — all while offsetting pool upkeep costs.

Hosting works for seasonally used pools, backyard oases that are underutilized during the week, or large pools perfect for small parties and swim lessons.

How it works — simple and host-first

We want hosting to be predictable and low-effort. Here’s the typical flow:

  1. Create your listing with photos, rules, and hourly pricing.
  2. Set available days and times so your calendar reflects your real-life schedule.
  3. Guests request or book instantly depending on your preference.
  4. You confirm the visit, prepare the pool, and welcome guests.
  5. Payment is released to you after the booking, minus our 0% host fee.

What you can earn

Earnings depend on location, pool size, amenities, and how often you choose to host. Typical hosts in the Joliet area price pools by the hour, often adding a small premium for evenings, weekends, or added amenities like a grill, covered patio, or lifeguard option.

Use our earnings calculator to estimate realistic monthly income for your pool and pricing strategy: Earnings Calculator

A few examples of common strategies:

  • Weeknight availability for short hourly sessions attracts local swimmers and families.
  • Weekend half-day rentals for small parties or group swims bring higher hourly rates.
  • Offer add-ons (towels, toys, supervised sessions) to increase per-booking revenue.

Safety, insurance, and guest screening

We also provide guidance on:

  • Clear pool rules to display for guests.
  • Recommended water and chemical checks before and after bookings.
  • Optional lifeguard services or trained-supervision add-ons to reduce liability concerns.

Hosts can require ID verification and set guest limits so you always know who’s using your pool.

Preparing your pool to host — quick checklist

  • Deep clean and balance pool chemicals before the season and weekly during active hosting.
  • Remove fragile items and lock storage areas.
  • Display pool rules and emergency contacts near the pool area.
  • Create a simple guest welcome note with Wi‑Fi, trash instructions, and exiting procedures.
  • Consider a small supply kit: towels, first-aid basics, and a skimmer.

These simple steps improve guest satisfaction and minimize follow-up work.

Managing bookings and time

Our platform is built so you stay in control. You set blockout times for personal use, approve or decline requests, and can enable instant bookings if you prefer a hands-off approach. Communication templates save time: send arrival instructions, gate codes, and post-visit thank-you messages in a click.

We also give hosts access to neighborhood demand insights so you can adjust pricing on high-demand days and maximize bookings without overcommitting.
