Why Do Hosts Love Stays?

Stays doesn't try to control the booking transaction. This allows us to offer a unique set of benefits to Hosts like you.

Reduce the dependency on mainstream booking platforms (also known as 'online travel agencies', or 'OTAs') such as Airbnb or Vrbo without having to cut the cord entirely. With Stays, you can send interested guests to the booking link(s) of your choice: a branded direct website or a traditional booking page on a mainstream OTA—the choice is yours.

Once a 'Listing Page' for your property is created on Stays, you can customize it to incentive bookers with special offers, promote your brand's social media accounts, and provide direct contact info to foster your own audiences and marketing communications.

Stays has an internal promotion scheduling tool that allows hosts to get their property promoted across our vast social media network of targeted users from across North America. These promotions build excitement, bolster followings/audiences, and ultimately lead to more booking demand.

Stays helps hosts do more than generate additional bookings. By giving your property a stronger presence, better visibility, and more ways to connect with travelers, Stays can help strengthen your brand, support higher nightly rates, and create opportunities to expand your vacation rental business. And because Stays doesn’t process bookings or take booking commissions, hosts can keep more of what they earn. That also gives hosts more flexibility to offer better rates, exclusive deals, or added value directly to guests.

Join The Hosts Already Loving Stays

I’ve been engaged in the Stays ecosystem on social media since I started hosting in 2020. I'm excited for there new platform to launch as it's essentially everything I've been asking for all in one place. Something to limit reliance on the big booking website my team currently leans pretty exclusively on.

I'm stoked for Stays! Right now there really isn't a mainstream, go-to place for guests to find vacation properties and connect directly with hosts. I'm excited about the chance to get my rental in front of more people, get more direct bookings, and hopefully save both my guests and myself some money along the way.

Hoping to switch from Linktree to using the custom Stays links in our social media bios. It looks way more professional and gives people a lot more information about the property while still plugging all our different booking options.

As someone who's both a vacation rental host and an avid traveler, Stays makes so much sense. It helps hosts while still giving travelers more flexibility and transparency. Saving everyone time and money. Once people see what it can do I think it's really going to catch on.
