Safety, insurance, and guest screening
We prioritize the safety of hosts and guests. Every booking includes $2,000,000 in liability insurance to protect qualified hosts and renters for covered incidents. We also provide recommended host best practices:
- Require signed rental agreements for longer or private events.
- Share clear safety rules (no running, adult supervision for kids, location of safety equipment).
- Keep your pool clean and clearly state whether it’s heated or filtered.
Hosts can add additional requirements in their listing and message guests before a booking if they want to confirm details.
How much can you earn in San Diego?
Earnings depend on location, pool type, amenities, and how many hours you rent each week. Pools near beaches, with ocean views, or heated spas often command higher hourly rates. Use our calculator to run numbers based on your property and availability: Earnings Calculator.
Example quick estimate:
- A modest backyard pool rented 6 hours per week at $30/hour → $180/week before fees.
- Popular pools with views or a hot tub can earn several hundred dollars a week with similar availability.
Remember: hosts keep the schedule, and with a single 10% fee you retain most of your earnings.
