How to rent privately-owned tennis courts, boats, home gyms, and more by the hour.
These days it seems like nothing is off-limits to buy, sell, share, or trade on a peer-to-peer basis. We use Uber and Lyft to catch a ride anywhere, anytime; Airbnb brings us into the homes of locals while traveling; and Poshmark lets anyone clear out their closet or update their wardrobe in a flash.
In 2018, Swimply broke into this market, offering people an easy way to find and rent privately-owned pools. Now the same company is introducing a new concept: Joyspace, an app and website that is “democratizing luxury by allowing owners of awesome spaces to share them by the hour with those who would like to enjoy them.” Like on Swimply, hosts on Joyspace will have the opportunity to earn “an effortless income from [their] underutilized space.” As the site states, “Cover your operating expenses, turn a profit, and make other families happy.”
Joyspace goes beyond pools, allowing people to list any kind of space they privately own, from basketball and tennis courts to decked-out rooftops, backyards, gyms, home theaters, and docked boats. Their extensive collection of spaces can be used for any occasion—birthday party, wedding, corporate event, photo shoot, fashion show, film production: you name it!
Users can search for a space based on their specific needs, filtering by location, capacity, price, and even type of event. Joyspace.com provides helpful tools such as a budget calculator and a guest list manager to make planning as easy as possible and offers a range of additional services, including event planning, catering, and even entertainment.
Joyspace is not yet live, but both hosts and renters can sign up to be notified when the platform officially opens for business. In the meantime, if you’re interested in renting a pool or a pickleball court, check out Swimply.
Twist’s Take: Consider renting a venue by the hour from Joyspace for your next occasion or event.
