Stop babysitting your Airbnb portfolio from another city
KeyStay helps absentee owners of 2–5 short-term rentals keep occupancy high, guests handled, and turnovers on track — without becoming full-time operators.
Built for owners who have outgrown self-management, but aren’t ready to hand over 20–30% to a traditional property manager.
The Problem
Owning a few rentals should feel like an investment — not a second job
When you live hours away from your properties, every small issue becomes urgent. A missed message turns into a bad review. Slow pricing updates leave money on the table. One cleaning gap can disrupt an entire weekend of bookings.
Most absentee owners end up stuck between two bad options: manage everything manually from afar, or hand over control and margin to a property manager.

What KeyStay Does
The leverage of a local operations team
KeyStay keeps your rentals moving without constant owner involvement. You keep visibility and control, but lose the daily operational drag.
Dynamic Pricing That Protects Revenue
Rates change with seasonality, events, and booking pace. KeyStay updates pricing so you’re not undercharging during high-demand weekends or sitting overpriced during slower stretches.
Fast Guest Communication Without Being On Call
KeyStay handles common guest messaging workflows so inquiries, check-in questions, and routine issues don’t sit unanswered while you’re at work, asleep, or out of state.
Turnover Coordination That Reduces Surprises
Cleanings and maintenance are where remote ownership usually breaks down. KeyStay helps make sure turnovers stay organized, issues are surfaced quickly, and vendors know what needs to happen.
A Clearer Operating Picture
Instead of jumping between tools, texts, and booking apps, KeyStay gives owners one place to stay on top of what matters across a small portfolio.
How It Works
Three steps to hands-off operations
Connect Your Properties
Link your Airbnb/VRBO listings. KeyStay syncs your calendar, pricing, and guest data automatically.
Set Your Preferences
Define your pricing strategy, communication style, and turnover requirements. You decide how things run.
Let KeyStay Handle the Rest
Dynamic pricing, guest comms, and turnover coordination run automatically. You stay in control with real-time visibility.
Built for the Messy Middle
Designed for the gap between DIY and full-service management
If you own one vacation rental, manual management can still be tolerable. If you own dozens, you can justify a full operations team.
But owners with 2–5 properties are in the middle: complex enough to create daily friction, too lean to support expensive management overhead. KeyStay is built specifically for that gap.
Run your rentals like a business — not a constant interruption
If you own 2–5 short-term rentals and manage them from a distance, KeyStay can help you protect revenue, reduce guest issues, and spend less time dealing with daily operations.
