About Stays Optimized
A boutique STR consultancy built on one belief: every property has unrealized revenue waiting to be unlocked.
Built for Owners Who Expect More
Stays Optimized LLC is a five-star short-term rental consultancy and management firm built for owners who want hands-off five-star revenue, investors evaluating new acquisitions, and realtors advising clients on STR potential.
We started because we lived the problem ourselves -- managing STRs, watching how much revenue was left on the table by underoptimized listings, reactive pricing, and inconsistent guest experiences. The fix wasn't complicated. It required data, systems, and genuine hospitality expertise applied consistently.
Today our team brings together STR hosting, listing design, dynamic pricing strategy, and investment analysis into one cohesive service -- designed around your goals, not a one-size-fits-all management contract.
Each stay, optimized.

Across Our Team
"The hosts and on site caretakers were extremely friendly, proactive and helpful which really set my mind at ease allowing us to fully enjoy the weekend."
Kevin, Airbnb Guest • Retreat House NYOur Approach
We don't just manage properties -- we optimize every lever that affects revenue, reviews, and long-term asset value.
Data First, Always
Every pricing decision, every listing change, every market comparison is grounded in real data -- not gut feel or ballpark estimates. We use AirDNA, dynamic pricing tools, and hand-picked comparable analysis.
Intentionally Small Portfolio
We deliberately limit the number of properties we manage so every owner gets hands-on attention -- not a ticket queue. Currently accepting applications for 2-3 new properties.
Hospitality-First Operations
Five-star reviews aren't accidents. They come from consistent, warm, proactive guest communication and properties staged to impress. We build that into every system we run.
Transparent Reporting
You always know exactly how your investment is performing. Monthly reports cover occupancy, ADR, revenue, and listing rank -- with no vague summaries and no surprises.
Full-Spectrum Service
From a one-time listing audit to a full VIP launch to ongoing co-hosting management -- we flex to meet owners where they are, not where a rigid contract says they should be.
Partner, Not Vendor
We work with owners as a trusted advisor. If a property isn't a good fit for STR, we'll say so. If there's a better approach than what you've asked for, we'll tell you. No fluff, no hidden agendas.
Who We Serve
Three distinct audiences, one shared goal: getting the most out of every short-term rental opportunity.
STR Owners Who Want Hands-Off Revenue
You own the property. You want the income. You don't want to run a hospitality business on the side. We handle every operational detail -- guest communication, pricing, turnovers, reporting -- so you can be a passive owner of an actively optimized asset.
Investors Evaluating STR Acquisitions
Before you wire the down payment, you need real revenue projections -- not AirDNA estimates or seller claims. Our signature property performance analysis gives you hand-picked market comparables, a regulatory check, and an STR vs. LTR comparison that holds up to scrutiny.
Realtors Advising STR-Curious Buyers
When buyers ask "what could I rent this for?" you need a credible, defensible answer. We white-label our analysis for your listings and give your clients professional projections. When we manage the property after close, you earn a referral.
