We handle bookings, payments, and provide $2M liability insurance so you can host with confidence.

  • Simple, transparent fees: 10% flat host fee — no surprise commissions and no tiered locking clauses.
  • Safety and protection: Every booking includes $2M in liability insurance to protect you and your home.
  • Host-first marketplace: You determine availability, hourly rates, guest rules, and which events you allow.

Quick overview: how hosting works

  1. Create your listing: Upload photos, share details about pool size, depth, features, and list included amenities (chairs, towels, restroom access).
  2. Set availability and pricing: Choose hourly rates and block times when hosting is allowed.
  3. Manage bookings: Accept or set instant book rules, review guest profiles, and add custom house rules.
  4. Host and earn: 90% of each booking goes to you after our 10% flat fee. We handle payments and provide booking support.

Learn the full step-by-step process in our How It Works guide.

Preparing your Upper Arlington pool for guests

A well-presented listing attracts more bookings. Consider these quick checks:

  • Clean and clear: Make sure pool water is clean, filters are running, and the deck is free of debris.
  • Safety first: Post pool rules, have life-saving equipment accessible, and lock off any restricted areas.
  • Amenities: Provide seating, shade, fresh towels, and access to a bathroom if possible.
  • Clear photos: Bright daytime shots, close-ups of features (spa, slide, shallow end) and shots of the backyard create trust.

Rules, safety and guest communication

Hosts set the rules — and enforcing them keeps hosting easy and enjoyable.

  • Capacity limits: List the maximum number of guests allowed and the number of children you’ll accept.
  • Supervision requirements: Require adult supervision for minors and consider policies for parties or amplified music.
  • Booking confirmations: Use our messaging tools to confirm details, communicate gate codes, and remind guests about rules.

We include $2M liability coverage with every booking, but good host practices (lifeguard requirement, posted rules) reduce risk and make guests feel safer.

Tips to maximize bookings in Upper Arlington

  • Competitive pricing: Start slightly below market to build reviews, then increase rates as you get 5-star feedback.
  • Offer packages: Consider discounting multi-hour bookings or mid-week blocks.
  • Fast responses: Hosts who reply quickly get more bookings; enable instant book for trusted guest profiles.
  • Highlight unique features: Gas heated pools, hot tubs, fire pits, or covered patios are big draws.
  • Keep your calendar updated: Avoid cancellations by only opening times you’re sure you’ll host.

Scheduling, cleaning and turnover

Plan for a 15–30 minute buffer between bookings for quick cleaning, safety checks, and arrangement resets. If you prefer, you can charge a short cleaning fee or block additional time to ensure no overlap.

Simple payout and protection

We collect payments, process guest deposits if applicable, and send payouts to you after the booking completes. You keep 90% after the 10% platform fee — that’s predictable and fair. Plus, the included $2M liability insurance gives you extra peace of mind when hosting visitors.
