Turn your backyard pool into a reliable source of income while sharing a great local space with neighbors and visitors. If you live in Lafayette, IN and want to earn money on your schedule, hosting through our platform is simple, secure, and designed for homeowners first.

Why Lafayette hosts love this platform

• Host-first model: You control availability, pricing, house rules, and guest approvals. You’re in charge.
• Low, transparent fee: A flat 10% host fee keeps more of your earnings compared with traditional rental apps.
• Protection included: Every booking comes with $2,000,000 in liability insurance for added peace of mind.
• Flexible commitment: Rent by the hour or block off whole days — host as often or as little as you like.

How much can you earn?

Earnings depend on your pool type, amenities, and how many hours you host. Here are typical examples for Lafayette:

• Neighborhood family pool: $35–$60 per hour
• Upgraded pool with extras (spa, lighting, lounge): $60–$120+ per hour

Example: If you host four 3-hour bookings at $50/hour per month: 4 bookings × 3 hours × $50 = $600 gross. After a 10% host fee you take home $540. Use our Earnings Calculator to estimate what your pool could make.

Safety, rules, and guest expectations

You set the house rules. Common items hosts include:

• Maximum guest count
• No glass near the pool
• Supervision requirement for children
• Quiet hours and music rules
• Cleanup requirements

We recommend keeping safety gear on hand (life ring, pool hook) and securing chemicals and tools. The $2M liability coverage adds a layer of protection, but good rules and clear communication prevent most issues.

• Guest profiles, reviews, and basic verification

You focus on providing a great pool experience; we handle the rest.

Tips to maximize bookings and income

• Great photos: Show the pool at multiple angles, in daylight and evening if you offer night swims.
• Highlight amenities: Grill, changing area, shade, parking, and kid-friendly features increase value.
• Competitive pricing: Check other Lafayette listings and adjust seasonally.
• Offer packages: Consider hourly rates plus add-ons (extra towels, lifeguard option) for special events.
