Airbnb Pool Maintenance Service

Pool maintenance and cleaning simplified

Swimming pools are an attractive feature for many guests when booking an Airbnb property. However, keeping the pool clean and well-maintained can be a daunting task for hosts. Poor pool maintenance can lead to a negative guest experience and potential damage to the property. That's why effective pool maintenance is essential for Airbnb hosts.

RedAwning offers pool maintenance services to help hosts keep their pools clean and functioning properly. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of pool maintenance and the benefits of hiring a professional management company for pool maintenance purposes.

Why Pool Maintenance is Important for Airbnb Properties

Maintaining a clean and safe pool is essential for a positive guest experience at an Airbnb property. Neglecting pool maintenance can lead to health and safety hazards for guests and damage to the property. As an Airbnb host, it's important to regularly monitor chemical levels and ensure the pool is clean and free of debris. This not only ensures a safe swimming environment for guests but also helps to prevent costly damage to the pool and surrounding areas. In addition, a well-maintained pool adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the property, enhancing its value and attractiveness to potential guests.

Professional Pool Maintenance Services

Professional pool maintenance services are an excellent option for Airbnb hosts who want to ensure their guests have a safe and enjoyable swimming experience. Hiring a professional pool maintenance service offers a range of benefits, including cost savings, expertise, and convenience.

One of the main benefits of hiring a professional pool maintenance service is that it can save hosts time and money in the long run. Professional technicians can identify and address pool issues before they become major problems, potentially saving hosts money on costly repairs. Additionally, professional pool maintenance services typically have access to bulk discounts on chemicals and equipment, which can save hosts money on their pool maintenance expenses.

When selecting a professional pool maintenance service for their Airbnb property, hosts should research and compare different services. It is important to choose a service that is experienced, licensed, and insured. Hosts should also look for a service that provides clear communication and transparent pricing.

Pool Cleaning Services

When selecting pool cleaning services, hosts should consider the size and type of their pool, as well as their budget and preferences. Some common pool cleaning services include:

Vacuuming: This involves removing dirt and debris from the bottom of the pool using a pool vacuum. Hosts can choose between manual or automatic vacuuming.
Brushing: This involves scrubbing the walls and floor of the pool to remove dirt and algae buildup. Hosts can choose between manual or automatic brushing.
Skimming: This involves using a net to remove debris from the surface of the pool, such as leaves and bugs.
Chemical balancing: This involves testing and adjusting the chemical levels in the pool, such as pH and chlorine levels.

Hosts should consult with a professional pool maintenance service to determine which cleaning services are necessary for their pool and how often they should be performed.

Seasonal Pool Maintenance

When it comes to seasonal pool maintenance, hosts should keep in mind that pool care needs may vary based on the time of year. For example, in the summer months, hosts will need to monitor the pool's chemical levels more frequently and ensure the pool is clean for guests to use. During the fall season, hosts will need to prepare for pool closing and winterizing by removing debris and lowering the water level.

In the winter months, hosts will need to ensure that the pool equipment is properly maintained and covered to prevent damage from freezing temperatures. In the spring, hosts should prepare the pool for reopening by cleaning and refilling the pool with fresh water, adjusting chemical levels, and inspecting equipment. It's important for hosts to follow a seasonal pool maintenance schedule to ensure the safety and enjoyment of their guests.

The Benefits of Professional Airbnb Management

Hiring a professional Airbnb management company can provide many benefits when it comes to pool maintenance. These companies have the expertise and equipment necessary to properly maintain a pool, ensuring that it is safe and enjoyable for guests. Professional management companies can provide regular pool cleaning, monitoring of chemical levels, and equipment maintenance to keep the pool in top condition.

Additionally, by outsourcing pool maintenance to a professional company, hosts can save time and money, as they do not have to invest in expensive pool maintenance equipment or take the time to learn how to properly maintain a pool. At RedAwning, pool maintenance services are included in the management fee for clients, making it an easy and convenient solution for hosts.

Best Practices for Airbnb Pool Maintenance

Maintaining a pool requires effort, but the benefits can be significant for Airbnb hosts. Here are some best practices to follow for effective pool maintenance:

Schedule regular pool cleaning: Regular pool cleaning is essential to keep the water clean and free from debris. This includes vacuuming, skimming, and brushing the pool walls and floor.
Monitor chemical levels: Proper chemical balance is crucial for maintaining a healthy pool. Hosts should test the water regularly and adjust the chemical levels as needed to ensure the water is safe for guests.
Address issues promptly: Hosts should address any pool-related issues promptly to avoid safety concerns or damage to the pool equipment.
Hire professional help: Hiring a professional pool maintenance service can be a cost-effective and efficient solution for hosts. These services can provide regular pool cleaning, equipment maintenance, and seasonal services like opening and closing the pool.

It's important to remember that pool safety is paramount for guests. Hosts should ensure that pool safety rules are clearly communicated and that proper safety equipment is available.

A well-maintained pool can be a great selling point for an Airbnb property, enhancing the guest experience and potentially increasing property value.

‍

Key Takeaway

It is important for hosts to select the right pool maintenance service for their property and maintain the pool effectively during different seasons. Regular pool cleaning and addressing issues promptly can enhance guest experience and increase property value.

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.
