Illustrative demo using fictional guest details
Avery asks about dates, bringing a dog, house rules, and an earlier quote. The draft uses the example’s availability snapshot and estimated price for the requested dates. The owner adds arrival guidance, saves without sending, then chooses Send reply in the simulation.

See a later guest question answered using the recorded stay and earlier conversation, then see how saved reply-style instructions shape a revised draft.
Illustrative demo using fictional guest details
In a later, confirmed-and-paid example, Avery asks about arriving at noon, the dog policy, and checkout. The draft acknowledges the booking, answers the questions, and does not promise early access. The owner reviews and sends it unchanged in the simulation. A separate example shows a new saved tone and sign-off applied to an initial-inquiry revision.
Make the draft sound like you. Save your preferences in Suggested reply style: warm or concise, the next booking step when appropriate, and your preferred sign-off. You can still edit each draft before sending.
Before you start
A website does not create traffic by itself. It gives repeat guests, referrals, and owner-controlled discovery a memorable place to return.
Keep active Airbnb and Vrbo conversations and bookings on those platforms. DirectStay does not buy traffic, send unsolicited marketing, or guarantee inquiries or bookings.
Review one private preview first. For more than one property, we will talk through package pricing before you decide.
03 — How it works
We build the first version. You bring the property knowledge and decide when it is ready for guests.
Send a property link if you have one, or a short note about what you want to improve.
We prepare a private preview so you can judge the direction before deciding whether to launch.
After DirectStay replies, send details however is easiest: notes, email, or an optional voice memo.
We start with a private review. Launch timing depends on property details, owner approvals, availability setup, and the agreement.
04 — Pricing and control
The monthly plan supports the site and owner desk. It does not turn DirectStay into your property manager.
See full pricingDirectStay does not contact guests autonomously or make these decisions for you. Property photos and listing materials are published only after you confirm DirectStay may use them.
05 — FAQ and next step
See what the guest experience can look like at Villa La Percha, then start with your own private preview.
Get a private previewYou may not need to replace anything. DirectStay works alongside Airbnb and VRBO, giving repeat guests, referrals, and inquiries earned outside restricted marketplace messaging an owner-approved place to learn about the property and contact you.
The $49/month per property plan covers hosting and site support plus the Owner Portal inquiry desk: inquiry records, email alerts when your setup is live, AI-assisted reply drafts for owner review, calendar checks, and guest records associated with your property.
No. DirectStay provides a property site, inquiry form, and owner tools. It does not run your rental business, replace your marketplaces, or accept a booking for you.
Villa La Percha is DirectStay's live founder property. It shows the guest-facing experience, including the property story, inquiry form, availability calendar, FAQ, guides, itinerary, map, and supported price comparison.
Share a property link if you have one, or send a short note about the property. DirectStay prepares the first version; you correct the facts, approve photos and rules, confirm availability and rates, and make every booking decision.
We start with a private review. Launch timing depends on property details, owner approvals, availability setup, and the agreement.
DirectStay can prepare a draft in the Owner Portal. You review or edit it, and nothing is sent until you choose Send.
You do. Use an owner-approved calendar source; once your property setup is live, DirectStay can flag possible date conflicts for review. You confirm the final dates and price.
You collect guest payments and handle deposits, taxes, refunds, cancellations, and disputes.
You approve the property facts, photos, rates, rules, and public launch. Inquiry and guest records captured through your DirectStay setup stay associated with your property and can be exported.
You can cancel anytime. Service end dates and any final handoff are governed by the written agreement.
