Vacation Rental Pool Prep: What Guests Expect

Pool reviews can make or break a rental listing. Here's how to ensure your pool exceeds guest expectations—and prevents refund requests.


Pre-Arrival Essentials

  • Balance chemicals and test sanitizer levels

  • Remove visible debris, insects, and stains

  • Run equipment for several hours pre-check-in

  • Wipe tile, skimmer lid, and deck area


Emergency Response Plan

  • Give guests contact info for urgent pool issues

  • Have a technician on-call for fast fixes

  • Document visits with photo logs


Between-Guest Maintenance

  • Inspect pump, skimmer, and automation

  • Shock lightly after guest use

  • Log each service with date/time
