Vancouver, BC

Looking for a private place to swim, or wondering what your backyard pool could earn? Whether you're a homeowner in Kitsilano, East Vancouver, the North Shore or out in Surrey, our marketplace connects local hosts with people who want to rent private pools by the hour. This page is written for both sides — clear, practical and host-first.

Why Vancouver homeowners host

Vancouver summers are short and precious — roughly June through September — and that is exactly why hosting works here. When the sun is out, everyone wants to be in the water at once, and backyard pools are a scarce amenity in this city:

• You set your availability, your hourly price and your house rules.
• Founding hosts pay 0% host fees, forever — you keep 100% of what you charge.
• Payouts arrive in Canadian dollars via Stripe. (Guests currently see prices in USD while we localize the site for Canada.)
• A heated pool stretches the season into May and October, when swimmers have almost nowhere else to go.

Want to see what a listing involves? List your pool — it takes a few minutes, and you can save a draft.

How it works — simple, safe and host-first

1. Create a listing that highlights what makes your pool bookable: heating, water temperature in °C, size in metres or feet, a hot tub, covered seating for shoulder-season days.
2. Set your hourly rate and your calendar — evenings only, weekends only, all summer long. You stay in control.
3. Guests book by the hour and pay online; you can message them before the booking to confirm details.
4. You get paid in CAD via Stripe — and as a founding host, you keep 100% of your price.

Safety and guest screening

A good hosting experience starts with expectations set before anyone arrives:

• Post clear rules: maximum guest numbers, adult supervision for kids, no glass on the pool deck, no diving in shallow water.
• Keep safety equipment visible and tell guests where to find it.
• For parties or longer events, ask for a short signed agreement so everything is on paper.
• One local note: many Metro Vancouver municipalities have pool-enclosure and fencing bylaws, and requirements differ from city to city — check yours before you start hosting.

You can add your own requirements to any listing, and you can decline bookings that don't feel right.

What could a Vancouver pool earn?

We won't make up Vancouver numbers before there is real Vancouver booking data. For context from our home market: top backyard pools in Southern California earn $800–$1,000 in a good summer week — US figures, from a region with a far longer season and far more pools. What Vancouver does is concentrate its demand instead of spreading it out: a short, hot window from June to September, limited public pool capacity, and heat waves that fill every available swim spot in the city. A heated backyard pool with flexible hours is well placed for all three.

On taxes: income from renting out your pool may be taxable, and the rules depend on your situation — talk to a local accountant, and check the current guidance from the CRA, Canada's tax authority.

Listing tips for Vancouver hosts

• Photos: shoot in full sun — sparkling water against a mountain or garden backdrop does the selling for you.
• State the water temperature in °C and whether the pool is heated; it's the first question Vancouver guests ask.
• Highlight covered or sheltered areas — they turn a marginal forecast into a confident booking.
• Rules: be explicit about guest limits, kids, pets, music and parking.

What guests in Vancouver are looking for

• Family swim time without community-centre crowds
• Birthday parties and small gatherings with the pool to themselves
• Lap swimming and quiet fitness sessions
• Photo and video shoots that need a private water backdrop

Neighbourhoods and timing

Demand spikes on summer weekends, long weekends and during heat waves — and heated pools keep booking through the shoulder seasons. Neighbourhoods with bigger lots, from the North Shore out to South Surrey, hold most of Metro Vancouver's backyard pools. For more local detail, see our city guide: Rent out your pool in Vancouver.
