Why Are Travelers Excited About Stays?
Join a community of travelers who use Stays to find remarkable places, watch the ones they love, and get offers the big platforms never show them.
Big booking platforms are useful for coordinating the monetary transaction, but they weren’t built for travelers who care deeply about where they stay and the price they pay. With so many options flooding the market, finding truly special places can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Stays helps cut through the noise by curating standout properties—giving you tools to discover, monitor, and connect with the vacation stays you love.
Not only do we provide an amazing directory of hand-picked stays for travelers to browse, filter, and bookmark, but we also give them access to benefits such as special offers, last-minute availability, and more.
Booking platforms limit your options so you’re forced to pay their service fees. Stays does the opposite. When you find a stay on stays.co, you’ll see direct links to all its booking pages and social profiles—so you can compare and book wherever the price is best. Many listings even use private booking sites, meaning you skip the middleman and save big.
If the stay you found and fell in love with is fully booked, just add it to your stays.co “favorites” and receive updates when the it has cancellation openings or gives out early access to its upcoming booking calendar.
Stays gives you access to exclusive offers and special deals from vacation rental hosts—no platform fees, no middlemen. And as a community member, you’ll be eligible for the 'staycation' giveaways we operate.
