Are you interested in partnering with Stayplus, or looking for an extended stay at one of our properties? Here we answer common questions about our process and approach.
We acknowledge that many individuals hesitate when it comes to short-term rentals due to the perceived requirements of time, expertise, technological tools, and effort needed to manage all aspects of renting and hosting their property. Our goal is to provide the knowledge, assistance, and streamlined systems that simplify the process so you can make informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed.
On average, short-term rental rates are 35%–50% higher than annual rates. Location and the overall home experience influence potential returns. We also use tools that match your prices with demand to ensure an optimal rate for every night.
We advise on ways to increase your property’s desirability using market data, trends, and guest insights. Rather than relying solely on price, we focus on unique experiences that command a premium due to the added value delivered.
Short-term rentals can be a powerful income stream when strategically managed. By prioritizing guest experience in key decisions, you can unlock more value from your home across all aspects.
Delegate core aspects of upkeep and operations to a trusted advisor invested in your home’s success. Beyond managing and listing your home, we handle communications with guests, maintenance, HOAs, and concierge services.
Experiential amenities go beyond basics like Wi‑Fi and coffee makers. We leverage local connections to invite guests to meaningful experiences on and off your property.
Hospitality is about people. Guests receive a personalized welcome, and we respond to their needs 24/7. We use reviews to advise on small improvements that enhance guest experience and occupancy.
You decide when and how long your space is available. We optimize rates seasonally to maximize income, and you can block dates for personal use (up to 30 days in advance).
Any lease ranging from 1 night to 180 nights is classified as a short-term rental. These properties are typically listed on dedicated platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, Hopper, booking.com, and others, ensuring wide exposure to verified guests and added protection.
As your rental partner, we only earn when you do. Our services are valued at 20% of total booking profit, after taxes and any channel fees. Cleaning and laundry fees are covered by the guest. Any home improvement costs are discussed in advance and billed separately if needed.
The 20% service fee per booking includes: property management (inspections, consultation, maintenance quotes); marketing (professional photography, compelling listings across multiple channels, realtor partnerships, targeted ads); rentals (multi-channel listing, operations management, data analytics to maximize income); hospitality (24/7 guest availability, check‑ins/outs, concierge services, insider’s guide, housekeeping, essential toiletries and linen).
From each booking’s total profit, 80% goes to the owner and 20% to Stayplus. Guests are charged before arrival so you are paid on time without handling payments directly. Payouts are deposited monthly after the guest is scheduled to arrive, and you receive a monthly report covering earnings and recommendations.
Our listing channels cover every booking with $1M USD in property damage protection and another $1M USD in insurance against accidents.
We handle guest communication at every step to deliver an optimal experience. You also receive access to a rental manager’s portal to view reservations and guest details in real time.
