How it works

Furnishing a vacation rental: spend where guests feel it

Furnish for the photos, the sleep and the wifi — in that order of what gets you booked, reviewed and rebooked.

Spend here

The mattress (mentioned in more reviews than any décor), blackout curtains, a sofa that looks good in the lead photo, durable bedding in double sets per bed, and lighting warm enough to photograph well.

Save here

Ornament, gadget duplicates, and anything fragile you’d mourn. Guests reward comfort and coherence, not expense.

Then let it earn

Once the space photographs well, the rest of the revenue is operations: distribution, pricing, response speed and turnovers — the part Stays runs for 2% per booking.

How long until my property is live and earning?

Your listing is generated within minutes of sending photos — you review and approve it the same day. Publishing then takes a few days at most, as each channel runs its own checks, so most properties are bookable within the week. For comparison, human managers advertise 10–14 days.
