Stress-Free Property Management with Host & Stay
Monday 22nd November, 2021 by Host & Stay
Do you have a holiday home rental that isn’t achieving the occupancy rate that you expected? Perhaps it isn’t generating the revenue you need to make it viable, or you simply don’t know where to start marketing it.
That’s where we come in!
Back in July 2019, there were only 8,100 monthly searches for ‘staycation’. A year later in July 2020, the figure was over six times more at 49,500, with figures in June 2021 reaching over 40,000 after a lull in activity during the Winter months.
As holiday homeowners ourselves we understand what’s important for both owners and guests, and we’re well-placed to minimise the stress for you.
Your property will be set up and managed by our dedicated team, from copywriting and professional editorial photography, to a five star housekeeping service. We do everything we can to make the journey for you and the holiday maker as stress-free as possible.
The property visit

Property details
When it comes to property details, we like to be thorough, so we have one or two checklists for you to complete at this point.
We don’t have lengthy contracts, but we do ask for a signature to make things official.
