This 57-Year-Old Spent $110,000 Building a Pool—Now He's Made $177,000 Renting It Out to Strangers
More than a chlorine caretaker
The location is a draw for families with special-needs children, Battan says. His pool and property are quiet and isolated, which explains the relatively high rental cost: $70 per hour for five people, a rate that rises with additional people and longer durations. Swimply takes a 15% cut from every booking, though Battan says the platform's ease of use is worth it.
"My wife and I are very used to five-star luxury resorts, so we know what excellent customer service looks like," Battan says."Part of that is ensuring all the needs are anticipated: responding appropriately to queries, greeting [guests] with a smile and making sure that all their needs are satisfied, and then disappearing."
When Battan joined in 2020, many local pools were shut down due to Covid restrictions and summer travel was practically nonexistent. These days, he says, demand seems to be decreasing as travel returns and pools reopen.
