Bainbridge Island Wa

Welcome to Bainbridge Island pool rentals — the easiest way for homeowners to earn from their private pool and for locals and visitors to find hourly, private swim time. Whether you’re a homeowner in Rolling Bay or a guest planning a weekend on the island, this page helps you get started fast.

Why rent a pool on Bainbridge Island?

Bainbridge Island is a relaxed, scenic escape with plenty of reasons people look for private pool time: quiet family swims, small birthday parties, private swim lessons, fitness sessions, and photo or video shoots. Private pools give you more control than public pools—no lines, no crowded lanes, and the ability to set the vibe for your gathering.

Guests get privacy and flexibility (book by the hour, invite only who you want). Hosts get a reliable, low-friction way to earn income from a space they already maintain.

For hosts: earn from your pool — simply and safely

We put hosts first. Listing takes minutes and we keep things straightforward:

  • Flat 10% host fee — you keep 90% of every booking.
  • $2,000,000 liability insurance is included for qualifying bookings.
  • Control your calendar, pricing, guest rules, and availability.

What guests on Bainbridge Island can expect

  • A range of pool types: backyard in-ground, small plunge pools, heated options, and pools attached to modern island homes.
  • Clean, host-maintained spaces—hosts set expectations for towel and amenity use.
  • Flexible booking options by the hour, ideal for morning laps, afternoon family swims, or evening gatherings.

If you’re visiting the island for a short stay, renting a private pool gives your group a comfortable, private place to unwind without the logistics of a hotel pool or community center schedule.

Safety, rules, and local considerations

Hosts are empowered to set house rules—these often cover guest count, children’s supervision, noise, and alcohol policies. We encourage every host to post clear safety instructions, provide any pool equipment (life rings, non-slip mats), and communicate rules before arrival.

Some practical tips for Bainbridge hosts:

  • Check local HOA or municipal rules about short-term rentals and pool use.
  • Offer clear arrival directions and parking notes; island streets and driveways can be narrow.
  • Consider heating or covers for shoulder seasons to extend your earning window.

For guests, read the host’s house rules carefully. Hosts often require an acceptance of the property rules during booking to ensure everyone has a safe, pleasant visit.

How it works

Listing your pool is straightforward: create a profile, add photos and a description, set availability and price, and accept bookings. We handle secure payment processing and provide the included liability coverage on qualifying stays. For a complete walk-through of booking, hosting responsibilities, and payouts, see How It Works.

Why hosts love it

Hosts tell us they appreciate the simplicity: professional support, predictable fees, and tools to manage bookings. The 10% flat fee means predictable earnings; the included $2M liability coverage adds peace of mind for most qualifying bookings.
