With the high temperatures of summer, a popular application is uniting people who have houses with swimming pools and others who want to enjoy a few hours of a dip. Some enjoy and others get a little benefit, an “extra cash” (extra cash) that never hurts.
Swimply allows homeowners with pools to rent them to others, with prices in South Florida ranging from $25 to $70 an hour.
If we open the application, we find that the best-rated pool in the state is in Broward County, at the home of José and Marlene, and that is how the idea of listing their pool on Swimply arose for them.
“Everything that one acquires must try to make it pay for itself in some way. When looking for how to start renting the pool, I found Swimply, which is an application that is already doing that. We take the photos. We posted and began to receive clients. And we’ve been doing well so far,” says José.
With Swimply and other platforms like Peerspace and Giggster, homeowners with pools are able to make extra money while offering a private space for others to enjoy.
“We make a little over a thousand dollars a month, it depends on the season. We have had months of more than 3 thousand dollars. A bad month might be $700. But it always pays for the work done”.
In South Florida, the number of pools available at Swimply has increased, with more than 10,000.
According to Bunim Laskin, founder of Swimply, “in Miami alone we have 400 pools listed and all of South Florida is one of the fastest growing markets for us.”
José and Marlene believe that the key to success in this emerging business is to offer a good experience to their customers.
These Airbnb-style pool platforms only list private pools; However, if you live in a gated community, there is something you should keep in mind: “consult with the condominium board or board if its bylaws allow you to temporarily rent spaces within your property.”
It is always recommended that you and your guests be considerate of your neighbors, both for noise and for the availability of park spaces when the group you may have in the pool exceeds 6 people.
