We prioritize hosts: you keep control, earn more with a low 10% flat fee, and get $2M liability insurance included for peace of mind.

Why Kirksville homeowners host their pools

• Supplemental income that scales with how often you rent—perfect for covering maintenance, pool upgrades, or extra bills.
• 10% flat host fee means more of what guests pay goes in your pocket compared to other platforms.
• $2M liability insurance included gives you financial protection without extra cost.
• Flexible availability: rent by the hour, block time for private events, or set recurring open times that suit your schedule.

Kirksville’s community and nearby visitors (students, families visiting Truman State University, weekend travelers) create consistent demand for private pool rentals—especially on warm weekends and during holidays.

How hosting works (simple steps)

1. Create your listing: Describe your pool, upload clear photos, and set rules and pricing. Good photos and honest descriptions increase bookings.
2. Set availability: Choose the hours or days you’re open. You stay in control of every booking.
3. Welcome guests: Meet them at check-in or use self-check-in options. Provide towels, clear safety rules, and a friendly orientation.
4. Get paid: Earnings are deposited after each booking minus a 10% host fee. You also get $2M liability insurance in case of accidents.

Earn more: pricing and the earnings calculator

Price competitively by checking similar Kirksville listings and factoring in pool size, amenities, and extras like pool heating, life jackets, or lounge seating. Use our earnings calculator to estimate monthly income based on your availability and local demand.

A few pricing tips:

• Start with introductory rates to build reviews, then increase rates for peak times.
• Offer add-ons (grill access, party setup, extra chairs) to boost per-booking revenue.
• Set a damage deposit and clear house rules to protect your space.

Safety, rules, and insurance

Your guests’ safety is crucial. The platform includes $2M liability insurance for covered incidents, but you should also:

• Post pool rules clearly and require guests to acknowledge them before booking.
• Provide life-saving equipment (life ring, shepherd’s hook) and basic first-aid supplies.
• Enforce realistic guest limits based on pool size and fencing requirements.
• Keep a clear communication channel open for questions or emergencies.

We encourage hosts to follow local regulations and check HOA rules if applicable. Staying proactive about safety reduces risks and leads to better reviews.

Preparing your pool and property for guests

First impressions matter. Before guests arrive:

• Deep-clean the pool and surrounding deck; clean photos attract bookings.
• Check filtration, chlorine levels, and heating (if offered) the day of rental.
• Provide clear signage for restrooms, no-diving zones, and any restricted areas.
• Offer simple comforts—extra towels, shaded seating, and a few pool toys go a long way.

Tips for great reviews and repeat bookings

• Be responsive: quick replies to booking requests and messages increase conversions.
• Be clear about rules and expectations: happy guests follow guidelines.
• Add thoughtful touches: a small welcome note or bottled water can result in 5-star feedback.
• Encourage reviews: polite follow-ups after a successful booking help build trust and higher search placement.
