Airbnb Hot Tub Maintenance

Calendar management for property bookings

Hot tubs are an attractive amenity that many Airbnb hosts offer to their guests. However, maintaining a hot tub requires ongoing care and attention to ensure it remains clean and functional for guest use. In this article, we will explore the importance of hot tub maintenance for Airbnb hosts and how hiring a professional management company like can help hosts maintain their hot tub and provide a positive guest experience.

Why Hot Tub Maintenance is Important for Airbnb Properties

Hot tubs are an attractive feature for many Airbnb guests and can add significant value to a property. However, ensuring that the hot tub is properly maintained is crucial for the safety of guests and the longevity of the equipment.

Effective hot tub maintenance can also enhance the guest experience, as guests will appreciate a clean and well-functioning hot tub during their stay. Hosts should prioritize regular water testing and cleaning, as well as addressing any issues promptly to prevent further damage.

Some tips for hosts to maintain their hot tub effectively include monitoring chemical levels, cleaning the hot tub cover, and checking for leaks or damage. It is also important to properly winterize the hot tub during colder months to prevent freezing and damage to the equipment.

Professional Hot Tub Maintenance Services

Professional hot tub maintenance services can help Airbnb hosts to ensure that their hot tub is functioning optimally and safely for guests. By hiring a reputable and experienced service, hosts can benefit from the expertise of professionals who can monitor and maintain the chemical balance of the water, clean the hot tub, and address any mechanical issues that arise.

Additionally, hiring a professional hot tub maintenance service can be cost-effective for hosts, as they can avoid expensive repairs and replacements by ensuring that their hot tub is well-maintained. When selecting a hot tub maintenance service, hosts should research and compare services in their area, checking reviews and ratings from previous clients to ensure that they are selecting a reliable and trustworthy service.

Hot Tub Cleaning Services

Hot tub cleaning services are an essential part of hot tub maintenance for Airbnb hosts. There are several different cleaning services that can be used to maintain an Airbnb hot tub, such as draining and refilling the hot tub, cleaning the filters, and treating the water with chemicals.

When selecting hot tub cleaning services, hosts should consider the frequency of cleaning required for their hot tub and the level of expertise needed to properly maintain the hot tub. Some hosts may prefer to hire a professional hot tub cleaning service to ensure that the hot tub is properly maintained and cleaned on a regular basis, while others may prefer to clean the hot tub themselves.

Hosts should also consider the cost of hot tub cleaning services and compare prices from different service providers to ensure that they are getting the best value for their money. It is important to select a service provider that offers high-quality services at a reasonable price to ensure that the hot tub is properly maintained and ready for guests to use at all times.

Seasonal Hot Tub Maintenance

When it comes to seasonal hot tub maintenance for Airbnb properties, hosts should take a proactive approach to ensure the hot tub is functioning properly and safely for guests. This can include preparing for winterization by draining the hot tub and protecting it from freezing temperatures, as well as addressing equipment maintenance like cleaning the filters and inspecting the pump and heater.

Hosts should also monitor the chemical levels of the hot tub and adjust accordingly to maintain proper water balance and prevent the growth of bacteria. During the summer months, hosts may need to take extra precautions to prevent algae growth due to increased sunlight and higher temperatures. Overall, regular maintenance and upkeep of the hot tub throughout the year can help ensure a positive guest experience and minimize potential issues.

The Benefits of Professional Airbnb Management

Professional management companies can provide many benefits to Airbnb hosts when it comes to hot tub maintenance. These benefits include the assurance of timely and thorough cleaning and maintenance, as well as access to expertise in hot tub care. Professional management companies can provide regular hot tub cleaning and equipment maintenance, ensuring that the hot tub is always in top condition for guests to use. This can lead to a better guest experience and increased bookings and revenue for the host. RedAwning Airbnb Management, for example, includes hot tub maintenance services in their management fee for clients.

Best Practices for Airbnb Hot Tub Maintenance

In addition to ensuring that the hot tub is clean and functioning properly, hosts should also prioritize hot tub safety for their guests. Best practices for hot tub maintenance include regularly testing and monitoring chemical levels, maintaining the proper water temperature, and providing clear instructions for hot tub use.

Hosts should also consider installing safety features such as a cover and a fence or barrier around the hot tub area to prevent accidents. Regularly inspecting the hot tub and addressing any issues promptly can also help prevent potential safety hazards.

It's important to remember that a well-maintained hot tub can greatly enhance the guest experience and increase bookings and revenue. By following these best practices, hosts can provide a safe and enjoyable hot tub experience for their guests.

FAQ

What is vacation rental management?

Vacation rental management involves overseeing a property rented out for short-term stays, typically through platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com. It includes tasks like marketing the property, handling bookings, communicating with guests, arranging cleanings, and ensuring the home is maintained. Companies like RedAwning take on these responsibilities for homeowners, aiming to maximize rental income while minimizing the owner’s day-to-day involvement.

How does Airbnb management work?

Airbnb management works by delegating the operational aspects of hosting on Airbnb to a professional service or individual. For RedAwning, this means we create and optimize your listing, distribute it across Airbnb and 50 more platforms, manage reservations, handle guest inquiries, and process payments. The homeowner provides the property and sets preferences, while the manager ensures it’s booked and guest-ready, often for a percentage of the rental revenue.

What are the benefits of a professional Airbnb manager?

A professional Airbnb manager saves you time and stress by handling guest communication, pricing, and logistics. With RedAwning, you get broader exposure through listings on 50+ platforms, dynamic pricing to boost earnings, and 24/7 guest support—all of which can increase bookings and improve guest satisfaction. It’s ideal for owners who want passive income without the daily grind of hosting.

What is full-service vacation rental management?

Full-service vacation rental management covers every aspect of running a short-term rental, from marketing and booking to cleaning, maintenance, and emergency response. RedAwning offers both full service and essential options to our customers.

What additional benefits are there to full-service vs half-service management?

Full-service management offers hands-on property care—like cleaning coordination, maintenance, and emergency fixes—beyond what half-service options like RedAwning provide. With full-service, you get a complete solution, including physical upkeep and local support. Full-service is pricier but more comprehensive.

Are there restrictions on personal use for properties under RedAwning management?

RedAwning doesn’t impose strict restrictions on personal use. Owners can block dates for their own stays via the Smart Portal, maintaining control over availability. However, frequent personal use might reduce rental income, and you’d need to coordinate with RedAwning to ensure your calendar aligns with guest bookings.

How much are RedAwning property management fees? What do they depend on?

RedAwning plans start at a 10% commission on booking revenue. Unlike some competitors, there are no upfront or setup fees. Fees are consistent across properties, but additional costs (e.g., cleaning or maintenance) depend on your arrangements with local vendors, as RedAwning doesn’t handle those directly. Your total expenses hinge on property location and service needs.

Where is RedAwning Vacation Rental Management available?

RedAwning operates across the U.S., managing properties in over 10,000 destinations as of 2025. From coastal condos in California to mountain cabins in Colorado, their tech-driven model supports nationwide coverage without requiring local teams for every market, making it accessible wherever your vacation home is located.

What services does RedAwning vacation rental management offer?

RedAwning provides listing creation and distribution on 50+ platforms, professional photography, dynamic pricing via PriceLabs, reservation management, 24/7 guest support, and payment processing. Owners get a Smart Portal to monitor performance and adjust settings. However, they don’t handle cleaning, maintenance, or on-site tasks—those are your responsibility or outsourced locally.

Can RedAwning help me convert a rental property or home into an Airbnb?

Yes, RedAwning can help convert a property into an Airbnb by setting up optimized listings, arranging professional photos, and distributing it across platforms, including Airbnb. You’d need to ensure the property meets basic requirements (e.g., a private entrance and bathroom) and handle any physical prep—like furnishing or repairs—yourself or through vendors.

Does RedAwning manage condos on Airbnb?

Yes, RedAwning manages condos on Airbnb, along with houses, apartments, and boutique hotels. They’ll list your condo on Airbnb and other channels, optimizing it for bookings. You’d just need to confirm it qualifies during onboarding and manage condo-specific rules or HOA restrictions yourself.

How does RedAwning compare to Vacasa?

RedAwning is a half-service manager focused on marketing and reservations with a 10% fee, while Vacasa offers full-service management—cleaning, maintenance, and more—for fees often exceeding 25%. RedAwning gives owners more control but less support; Vacasa handles everything but costs more and may limit personal use with longer contracts. RedAwning’s tech edge suits hands-on owners; Vacasa’s suits those wanting total delegation.

How does RedAwning compare to Evolve?

RedAwning and Evolve both charge 10% and focus on marketing and bookings, not physical management. RedAwning lists on 50+ platforms, offers a damage waiver, and emphasizes guest support, while Evolve sticks to fewer channels but includes $5,000 damage protection and a risk-free guarantee. RedAwning’s broader reach appeals to visibility-focused owners; Evolve’s simplicity suits those prioritizing ease and security.

How does RedAwning handle emergencies at the property?

RedAwning doesn’t directly handle on-site emergencies like plumbing issues or power outages, as they focus on digital management. Their 24/7 guest support can address renter concerns, but physical fixes fall to you or your local vendors. You’d need a plan for urgent situations, unlike full-service managers who coordinate repairs.

Does RedAwning offer insurance for hosts and their properties?

RedAwning provides up to $20,000 in damage protection to each host.

Does RedAwning offer assistance with furnishing?

Yes, RedAwning is partnered with great interior designers. Please check out our furnishing page.

Will RedAwning maintain amenities like pools and hot tubs for hosts?

Yes!

How quickly can RedAwning take over management of a property?

RedAwning can start managing a property within days on some channels (e.g., their site or Airbnb), with full distribution across 50+ platforms taking up to two weeks, assuming you provide all required info during onboarding. It’s a fast, self-guided process compared to full-service setups that might take longer.

Does RedAwning use technology to price my home?

Yes, RedAwning uses a dynamic pricing tool powered by PriceLabs, blending market data and AI to optimize rates. You can set parameters during onboarding or adjust them manually via the Smart Portal, ensuring competitive pricing that maximizes occupancy and revenue.

What is the pet policy for homes under RedAwning management?

RedAwning lets owners decide their pet policy. You can allow pets and add a fee (set via the Smart Portal), or prohibit them entirely. RedAwning communicates this to guests and collects any fees, but cleaning or damage from pets is your responsibility to address.

Why is RedAwning better than other property management companies?

RedAwning sets itself apart from other property management companies with a technology-driven, cost-effective approach that offers both full-service and partial management options, catering to vacation rental owners who value flexibility and control. Unlike competitors like Vacasa or AvantStay, which focus solely on full-service management with fees ranging from 25-50% of income, RedAwning provides a choice: comprehensive oversight including marketing, reservations, guest support, and maintenance, or a partial-service model emphasizing marketing and bookings across 50+ platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, potentially increasing bookings compared to narrower-channel options like Evolve. RedAwning's fees start at 10%. Having served the industry for 15 years, RedAwning combines experience with lower fees and rapid onboarding—listing properties in an afternoon—appealing to hosts who want efficiency without losing decision-making power, though it may not suit those needing extensive local support like Vacasa provides. Its scale (20,000+ properties across 10,000 destinations) and data-driven pricing give it an edge over Evolve’s simpler approach, making it a versatile choice for tech-savvy hosts seeking tailored management solutions.
