Why We're Different

We are the Easy Button for property owners like you who want to be more hands-off in the

daily management process but also desire higher returns. We understand what it takes to make a guest experience a memorable one. We've faced the frustration of contacting a large management company and receiving an automated, robotic response in return.

And that has inspired us to bring the human part back to hosting.

When you’re working with 5 Star Family Stay, your properties are managed by real people. We manage each

property as if it were our own, bringing friendliness to every communication.

  • Just throwing it up on Airbnb

  • You are 1 of 1000 rentals. No personal touch

  • Lackluster marketing

WRONG WAY

  • New-age marketing (including FaceBook/Instagram ads) and Dynamic Pricing

  • Proactive and consistent Cleaning Standards

  • full transparency for owners

RIGHT WAY

5 Star Family Stay wants to earn you 5 Star Reviews like these
