Rent your Stonegate pool by the hour. Earn $2,400–$5,400+/mo.

If you live in Stonegate, you know that the local community centers and neighborhood pools get packed the moment the Colorado sun hits the pavement. Families in Parker and surrounding Douglas County are constantly looking for a bit of privacy and a place where they can swim without sharing a lane with thirty other people. As a homeowner in Stonegate, your backyard isn't just a place for weekend barbecues. It is an asset that can bring in thousands of dollars in passive income every month. Whether your pool overlooks the rolling hills or is tucked away behind a tall privacy fence, there is a massive demand for private swim time right here in your backyard.

Why Stonegate pool owners are listing now

The shift toward the "experience economy" has changed how people spend their leisure time. Folks in Stonegate are looking for safe, clean, and private spaces to host birthday parties, teach their kids to swim, or just enjoy a quiet afternoon. By listing your pool, you are providing a service that the local public facilities simply cannot match.

We are seeing a surge in host signups because the math makes sense. Why let your pool sit empty and collect debris while you pay for monthly maintenance and chemicals? Listing your pool allows you to offset those costs completely and then some. This year, the demand for private rentals has outpaced the number of available pools in the 80134 area. Getting your listing live now means you can capture the peak summer season and build a base of repeat guests who will book with you year after year.

What you can earn in Stonegate

Your earning potential depends on your amenities, but the floor for a quality pool is high. Most hosts in Douglas County set their rates between $40-150/hr.

If you have a basic pool with a nice deck, $45/hr is a great starting point for weekdays. For weekends, you can easily bump that to $75/hr or more. Hosts who offer premium additions like a bubbling hot tub, a built-in fire pit, or a high-end grill often charge $100/hr or more for larger groups.

Let's look at the numbers. If you host just twenty hours a week at an average rate of $75/hr, that is $1,500 a week. Over a standard Colorado summer season, many of our hosts are netting between $3,000 and $10,000 per month. Even during the shoulder seasons like May and September, a heated pool or a hot tub keeps the bookings coming in. Unlike other platforms that take a massive cut of your hard-earned money, we only charge a 10% flat host fee. This means more of that hourly rate stays in your pocket to pay for your mortgage, your next vacation, or pool upgrades.

How it works

Getting your backyard ready for guests is simpler than you think. You do not need to be a professional hospitality manager to be successful.

1. Create your listing. Upload a few clear photos of your pool and backyard. Write a brief description of what makes your space special and set your hourly price and house rules.
2. Accept bookings. You have total control over your calendar. You can choose to auto-accept bookings or review each request manually. You decide when your pool is open and when you want it all to yourself.
3. Host your guests. Most hosts prefer a contactless entry. You can provide a gate code or instructions for guests to walk around to the backyard. Ensure the water is clean and the furniture is ready.
4. Get paid. After the booking is complete, funds are deposited directly into your account. We handle the payment processing so you never have to deal with cash or awkward conversations about money.

What's covered

We built this marketplace with a host-first mentality. We know that letting strangers into your backyard requires trust and protection. That is why we provide a safety net that goes far beyond what you might find on other platforms.

• $2M liability insurance. Every single booking is covered by our $2M liability policy. This gives you peace of mind knowing that you are protected while guests are on your property.
• 10% flat host fee. While competitors like Swimply or Peerspace might take 15%, 20%, or even more, we keep our fee at a flat 10%. You keep 90% of everything you earn.
• Vetted guests. We use a verification process to ensure that the people booking your pool are who they say they are. You can also view reviews from other hosts before you accept a booking.
• 24/7 support. If you ever have a question about a booking or a guest, our team is available around the clock to help you resolve it quickly.

Stonegate vs other side hustles

When you compare pool hosting to other popular side hustles, the effort-to-income ratio is hard to beat.

Managing an Airbnb or a VRBO requires constant laundry, deep cleaning of entire houses, and dealing with guests who are living in your space for days at a time. With pool hosting, you are renting out your yard for a few hours. There are no beds to make and no kitchens to scrub. Most of the "maintenance" is stuff you are already doing to keep your pool blue.

Compare this to Turo, where you are putting thousands of miles of wear and tear on your car and risking accidents on the road. Your pool is stationary. It doesn't get "miles" put on it. Unlike dog boarding, where you have to deal with pets in your living room and potential damage to your carpets, pool guests stay outside. You get to keep your indoor privacy while your backyard pays for itself. Even swim instructors are looking for pools to rent by the hour, providing a steady stream of professional, respectful clientele who just need a lane to teach a lesson.

Local rules to know in Stonegate, Colorado

Stonegate is a wonderful community with specific standards that help maintain property values and safety. As a host, you should be mindful of your HOA guidelines regarding home-based businesses and guest traffic. Most Stonegate residents find that as long as they are respectful of noise levels and parking, hosting is a non-issue.

Safety is the priority. Ensure your pool area remains in compliance with local Douglas County building codes, specifically regarding four-sided fencing and self-closing, self-latching gates. These are standard features for most Stonegate homes already. We recommend setting clear "House Rules" in your listing regarding music volume and where guests should park to keep your neighbors happy. Being a good neighbor is part of being a great host.
