We Help STR Hosts Turn Properties Into Direct‑Booking Machines
You started in STR because you love creating spaces guests remember, not chasing commissions or dealing with unpredictable OTAs. We started Direct Stays for the same reason — because hosts deserve marketing that works without the guesswork.
We understand how exhausting it is: empty calendars, listings that don’t show up, or websites that look pretty but don’t convert. That’s where we come in.
Our Core Promise
Clarity over fluff
We explain what works and why — no buzzwords.
Strategy with integrity
Every plan is built for your property, your guests, and your goals.
Support all the way
Whether it’s web design, SEO, content strategy or ads — you’ll always know what’s happening next.

Why choose us
Here’s what sets us apart
Host‑Centric Empathy
We’ve walked in your shoes. We know what it’s like managing guest check‑ins, reviews, slow seasons, and marketing overwhelm.
Transparent & Authentic
We show you what we’re doing and why. You won’t see vague promises — you’ll see plans, mechanics, and outcomes.
Polished, but Practical
Your website will look gorgeous, but more importantly, it’ll convert guests. You’ll get strategy that’s usable, not just aspirational.
Small‑Batch, Big Care
We work with hosts, not huge portfolios. That means your voice is heard, your property gets attention, and it's personal — not templated.
Success Stories
Our Vision
We believe every short‑term rental has a story worth telling. When you tell it right, guests connect before they even book. That connection is what turns browsers into bookings, and first‑time guests into repeat stays.
