LA Homeowners Make Six-Figures Renting Out Their Swimming Pools As summer reaches its peak and many residents of Los Angeles grapple with soaring housing costs and financial strain, a novel side hustle is gaining traction among homeowners: renting out their swimming pools. Platforms like Swimply have become hubs for this trend, allowing property owners to monetize their backyard assets by offering hourly rentals. Some top earners in the Los Angeles area have reported earnings exceeding six figures, transforming their pools into lucrative income streams. Among the standout properties is the Orange Pool in the Hollywood Hills, owned by Natalie and Alex Bykov. Since joining Swimply, the pool has generated over $264,772 in revenue. Similarly, Dino’s Hollywood Hills Oasis, managed by Dino Baglioni, has earned $276,295, while the Disney+ themed pool hosted by Amit Janweja has topped the list with $299,395 in earnings. These pools, often featuring unique amenities like slides and waterfalls, have become local attractions, drawing visitors for their scenic views and thematic appeal. The concept of pool rentals is not limited to full-time operations. For most hosts, it serves as a flexible side hustle, requiring minimal daily effort. Homeowners set their own rates, typically ranging from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on the property’s location and additional features such as lounge chairs, grills, or themed setups. The platform handles bookings, payments, and some insurance, streamlining the process for hosts. Renters can also participate, provided they secure explicit written approval from their landlords. Swimply co-founder Bunim Laskin emphasized that the platform verifies permissions through signed notes or emails, ensuring compliance with property rules. This trend has roots in earlier years.#hollywood_hills #natalie_and_alex_bykov #dino_baglioni #amit_janweja #swimply
