How much can you earn

Earnings depend on pool type, amenities, and local demand, but many Long Grove hosts earn meaningful extra cash during warm months. Use our Earnings Calculator to estimate what your pool could bring in based on hourly rates and expected bookings.

Tips to increase earnings:

• Offer weekday discounts or multi-hour booking incentives.
• Add amenities like loungers, umbrellas, or a grill for higher rates.
• Keep your listing well-photographed and accurate to attract bookings.

Getting your pool ready

Follow these simple steps to make your pool listing guest-ready:

• Clean and maintain water quality and filtration before hosting.
• Ensure pool safety features are in place: fences, self-closing gates, and clear depth markers.
• Provide basic safety equipment: life ring, shepherd's hook, and first aid kit.
• Create clear house rules (no running, adult supervision required, maximum guest count).

We recommend photographing your pool area in natural daylight and writing a clear, upbeat description — our Hosting Guide has a checklist to help you stage great photos and write compelling listings.

Practical hosting considerations for Long Grove hosts

• Noise & neighborhood: set quiet hours and guest policies to protect your neighborhood relationships.
• Parking: tell guests where to park and whether street parking is allowed.
• Cleaning and turnaround: plan 30–60 minutes between bookings for quick cleaning and setup.
• Weather: use the booking system to block days when your pool is unavailable due to maintenance or weather.

Safety & liability

We include $2M in liability coverage for booked hours, giving you an added layer of protection. It’s still important to follow local safety rules and your own house rules. Consider posting pool rules and emergency contact info near the pool area.

Host support and best practices

We’re here for hosts with responsive support and resources. Best practices from successful Long Grove hosts:

• Be responsive: quick replies boost bookings.
• Be transparent: list any quirks (steps, shallow end) in your description.
• Offer extras: towels, a quick snack bar, or floatation toys can improve guest experience and reviews.

Next steps — it’s easy to start

1. Create your listing with clear photos and a friendly description.
2. Set your hourly rate and availability.
3. Accept bookings and prepare according to your rules.
