Welcome to Augusta

If you own a backyard pool in Augusta, you’re sitting on a simple way to earn extra income while sharing a bit of summer joy. This page is for homeowners who want to list their pool by the hour, for neighbors and visitors searching for a private swim spot, and for anyone curious about how pool renting works in Augusta.

We put hosts first: a straightforward 10% flat host fee, built-in $2M liability insurance, and tools that make hosting predictable and profitable. Read on for local tips, pricing ideas, safety guidance, and the fastest path to your first booking.

Why rent your Augusta pool?

  • Extra income without the hassle: Rent by the hour when it suits you — afternoons, weekends, or those slow months when the pool otherwise sits unused.
  • Meet neighbors and build community: Renters are typically families, friends, and small groups looking for a private, clean, and safe place to relax.
  • Control and flexibility: You set availability, house rules, capacity, and pricing.

We keep the fees simple and fair: a 10% flat host fee and $2M of liability insurance included to give you peace of mind. If you'd like a deeper explanation of hosting and fees, see our hosting guide at Hosting.

Pricing and earnings in Augusta

Set prices based on pool type, features, and peak times. In Augusta, consider these starting points as you test the market:

  • Small residential pool (up to 8 guests): $30–$60/hour
  • Medium pool with features (lights, landscaping, pool house): $60–$120/hour
  • Luxury or large property (spa, cabana, high capacity): $120+/hour

Use our earnings calculator to estimate monthly revenue based on your availability and local demand. Tip: offer weekday or off-peak discounts to attract regulars and fill otherwise idle hours.

Prepare your space — quick host checklist

  • Clean and clear: Regular maintenance and a tidy pool deck are the most commented-on details from guests.
  • Clear rules: Display capacity, pet policy, music limits, and whether food is allowed.
  • Safety: Provide life-saving equipment (life ring, shepherds hook), post emergency numbers, and ensure gates and locks meet local safety codes.
  • Amenities that add value: Shade umbrellas, towels, loungers, pool toys, and a clean restroom increase satisfaction and bookings.

A small investment in cushions, a simple speaker, or tasteful outdoor lighting can raise perceived value and let you command a higher hourly rate.

Safety, insurance, and local rules

Safety is your top priority and ours. The platform includes $2M in liability insurance for eligible bookings, helping protect you for most common incidents. Still:

  • Confirm local requirements: Check Augusta and Richmond County codes for fencing, pool alarm, or other ordinances.
  • Supervision: Require an adult to supervise children at all times; consider a minimum adult-to-child ratio.
  • Documentation: Keep maintenance logs and record safety equipment on hand in case you need them.

If you have unique local regulations or HOA rules, you should disclose those in your listing so renters know what to expect.

Host tips to maximize bookings

  • Use clear, well-lit photos: Show the entire pool area, features, and access points. Photos drive most booking decisions.
  • Describe the vibe: Is your pool family-friendly, a quiet retreat, or ideal for small parties? List amenities and nearby attractions (parks, golf courses, hotels).
  • Offer add-ons: Provide towels, grills, or setup/cleanup services for an extra fee.
  • Respond quickly: Fast replies increase bookings and earn you better visibility.
