6 Swimply Competitors To Rent A Pool From This Summer

Relaxing in and around the pool for hours on end is frankly the ideal summer activity. But what if you don’t have access to a pool of your own and you’d prefer to avoid a trip to the public pool? Swimply is an internet marketplace where you can rent private pools by the hour. Travel magazine Afar writes that Swimply “is like Airbnb – but for renting swimming pools.”

Swimply lets you browse pools in your area and see what other amenities they have to offer. For instance, you might also be seeking a hot tub. You can also read reviews from those who’ve rented the pools before and book the one that feels like the best fit.

Perhaps you’ve already checked out Swimply and you’re looking for alternatives. After all, the pools the site offers in your area may be too expensive or just not what you’re looking for. If that’s the case, here’s a list of 6 Swimply competitors. They all make it possible for you to have the relaxing and invigorating summer pool experience that you deserve!

1. Peerspace

At the top of the list is Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly rental venues and spaces of all kinds. The site includes but is certainly not limited to ones with pool access. Peerspace makes it super easy to find spaces with pools that you can rent by the hour!

How to use Peerspace

Simply go to the Peerspace homepage, input the kind of event/gathering/project you’re planning and the location where you’re planning it, and then head to the “More filters” at the top of the search results page and check off “Pool” under “Outdoor Spaces” to limit your results to spaces that offer pools.

There are more than 1,600 spaces with pools in the United States alone. Plus, Peerspace has thousands of options across hundreds of cities in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere.

Peerspace options

Whether you’re looking to film a music video or hold a classic pool party, there’s something for every need, every budget, and every aesthetic. For instance, if you’re looking to go really fancy with it, this Estate Overlooking Lake Travis in Lago Vista, Texas is a gorgeous option at $250 per hour. “It is perched high in the hills above Lake Travis and provides spectacular views of the lake & surrounding hill country. The view is both spectacular day or night; and there are fantastic sunsets in-between. This is the perfect setting for shooting a commercial, music video, or film.”

Or if you’re seeking something a bit more modest and moderately priced, this Private Pool Paradise in Las Vegas, Nevada is only $59 per hour and has plenty of five-star reviews to recommend it. For example: “Owen & his place was AMAZING!! Very spacious, looks identical to the pictures, and holds up to its value in description. WiFi & speakers were perfect for the outside aspect of the venue. Will definitely be booking any other events I have with Owen (as I am a Las Vegas local). 11/10 recommended.”

2. Airbnb

Unlike both Swimply and Peerspace, Airbnb listings are available for rent by the day/night, rather than by the hour. But if you’re hoping to stay overnight or for a few nights at the location where you’re seeking a pool, then Airbnb could be a great choice and is a viable option among Swimply competitors.

It’s an especially ideal option if you’re looking for a place to stay that has pool access while traveling because the platform is designed specifically to help travelers find places to stay while on vacation or other kinds of trips. You can see reviews from past renters on many Airbnb listings and it’s easy to contact the host if you have any questions about your stay.

3. Swimmy

Another site that’s quite similar to Swimply is Swimmy, which is also a site entirely oriented toward hourly rental for pools. It’s simple to use: just search for pools in the location of your choice, click on specific listings to see if any of them might be a good fit (and contact the host if you have any questions), reserve the pool by selecting your booking date, and head to the pool with your swimsuit on the day of your reservation!

Swimmy is still getting its footing in the United States and doesn’t have as many options listed as Swimply does. However, it’s still worth checking out as one of the premier Swimply competitors.

4. Vrbo

Vrbo is an online marketplace for vacation and travel rentals quite similar to Airbnb. It’s called Vrbo because the name was originally VRBO, standing for Vacation Rentals By Owner, and that’s a good summary of what the site is. After all, its a place where individuals post their properties for rental by the night.

This is another Swimply competitor that doesn’t strictly focus on swimming pools as Swimply does. But not to worry – the site still has plenty of options with swimming pools!

5. Vacasa

Vacasa is another site that offers more than just pools, but rather vacation homes for rental. Unlike Airbnb and Vrbo, though, Vacasa also offers hosts the service of managing the vacation home–actually looking after the properties directly. The benefit of this, Vacasa says, is that their “guests book vacations with peace of mind, knowing they’re going to find exactly what they’re looking for without any surprises”.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for in renting a place with a pool, the site could be a great choice among Swimply competitors.

6. HomeToGo

HomeToGo bills itself as offering one of the largest selections of vacation rentals on the web. It includes tons of spaces with pools all over the world, which you can rent by the night.

What sets HomeToGo apart from other Swimply competitors is that it aggregates listings from other sites to maximize the number of search results you find, including Booking.com, Vrbo, VacationRentals.com, FlipKey, and more.
