The Value of Your Time
Self-managing a vacation rental takes an estimated 240 hours per year — guest communication, booking management, coordinating cleaners, handling maintenance, restocking supplies, dealing with complaints, and staying on top of taxes and regulations.
At a conservative $45/hour, that's $10,800 worth of your time. With STAY49, you spend zero hours — we handle everything. That's time you get back for work, family, or just enjoying your own property.
