Atlanta

Atlanta
Atlanta is a summer city—long, sunny days and a lively community eager to cool off. If you own a private pool in Buckhead, Midtown, Decatur, or anywhere in the Atlanta metro, you can turn those empty summer hours into steady income by renting your pool by the hour on our host-first marketplace.
Why Atlanta homeowners are great hosts
- High demand: From pool parties to photo shoots and fitness classes, Atlantans look for private pool spaces year-round—especially from late spring through early fall.
- Flexible bookings: Hourly rentals let you control the schedule. Host a family swim in the morning and a small party in the evening.
- Strong earning potential: Neighborhoods near parks, event venues, and large apartment complexes often see more traffic and higher booking rates. Use our earnings calculator to get a quick estimate for your specific listing.
Host-first benefits
We built the platform to reward and protect hosts. You keep control of your calendar, set your own rules, and approve bookings. Our fees are simple: a 10% flat host fee so you know what to expect—no surprise charges. Every booking includes $2,000,000 in liability insurance, giving you extra peace of mind when guests are on your property.
Pricing and maximizing income
Set hourly rates that reflect your pool’s features (heated, saltwater, cabana, private backyard, etc.). Popular strategies:
- Peak pricing: Increase rates during weekends, holidays, and summer months.
- Minimum booking windows: Require at least two hours for parties to reduce back-to-back turnover.
- Offer add-ons: Lifeguard service, pool heating, extra towels, or lighting for evening events.

Easy setup and management
Listing your pool is straightforward. Upload a few bright photos, write a clear description, highlight safety features (fences, covers, alarm systems), and set your house rules. We support flexible scheduling so you can block dates for personal use. If you want a step-by-step walkthrough, check out how it works.
Safety and guest expectations
Safety is a top priority—for host peace of mind and guest comfort. We recommend:
- Clearly posted pool rules: No running, no diving in shallow areas, adult supervision for children, etc.
- Optional lifeguard: For larger gatherings, offering a licensed lifeguard as an add-on increases bookings and reduces risks.
- Regular maintenance: Clean water, tested chemical levels, and secure gates or fences.
Remember: every booking comes with $2M in liability insurance. That coverage is included automatically so you don’t have to worry about arranging separate policies.
What guests are looking for in Atlanta

- Amenities: Seating, shade, grills, and outdoor lighting make listings stand out.

Marketing your Atlanta pool
Good photos and honest descriptions go a long way. Highlight what makes your backyard unique—mature trees for shade, a heated pool for shoulder seasons, or a pergola for intimate gatherings.
