06 September 2022
Launched back in 2018, Swimply is an online marketplace that allows homeowners with pools to rent their spaces out by the hour, just like on Airbnb. If you live in San Francisco and are craving a warm and sunny pool day, there are several options in the South Bay, East Bay, and up north where the temps actually feel like summer.
Here are a handful Bay Area swimming pools that will pass muster for your next private pool party. There are poolside margaritas in your future.
Lap it up like you own the place in this backyard paradise with a newly built swimming pool with a wide patio and plenty of both sunshine and shade. Pool toys, floats, and WiFi are also available. Kick in a few extra bucks for use of the gas fire pit or Weber grill. // $60/hour, swimply.com
You can bring the little ones (two legs only) for a pool day overlooking Redwood Regional Park. On cooler days, the pool can be heated, and it has easy access to a bathroom and plenty of pool toys for splashing around. // $65/ hour at swimply.com.
If you're looking to have a pool party, this is your place.
