Property Guest type - Member. As a property owner or manager you can choose to have Property Memberships as a Guest Role. With just a few extra clicks, memberships allow you to create recurring automated monthly payments for access to your property, or a one time payment for a fixed amount of property access time. This lets you better automate property access and payments. Members that have not paid, cancel their membership, or have a scheduled end of membership are automatically stopped from scheduling time on your property calendar, and are moved to ‘view only’ property page access. Property members can also invite their own guests to the property. Great for extended families that need more liberal inviting access, without giving everyone manager control of property settings.

When sharing your property with friends and family you can see who's staying any time. Any property owner or manager can see their guests names, profile images (if added), and any stays they have coming up. You can also let your guests see other guest's scheduled stays with their names and photos, or simply show booked time as Reserved without showing who is staying to other guests. Setting your property calendar to be social or anonymous for guests. These choices are set from your property settings page, and are available to the property owner and property managers.

Dear international friends, we've added a small but important feature for you to adjust your own date format setting. You can find this new setting under your Account Settings. After you're logged in, click on the profile icon in the top right corner, and find the Account Settings item on the menu.

Setting up and using your calendar. For this post I’m going to assume you’ve Joined Stayy and added your property. This is super easy and shouldn’t take more than one minute. Do that now if you have not done so yet. You can also click on the dashboard button to be invited to the Stayy example property to play with a multi-space scheduling calendar as a guest. -- Update: The Stayy calendar now lets you choose your preference of horizontal scrolling or grid calendar style with a simple, instant, switch at the top of the calendar area.

Once upon a time I went to Tahiti with some friends. Having joined their trip somewhat last minute most planning and booking of Airbnb rentals was already done. Perfect for my planning laziness. If you haven’t been to French Polynesia, I highly recommend it. Polynesian Francs are used as currency instead of euro as they move further away from French rule. But you can dive into all of that history on your own. For our trip we landed in Papeete on Tahiti Island, the largest island in French Polynesia. Most flights that aren’t to local chain islands will have to file into the same place. After staying the night we took a puddle jumper over to Huahine island, a smaller island along the chain most of the way over towards Bora-Bora. But with a very low population and a small village, this is where we ran into issues. 

Get Paid or Reimbursed When Friends Stay at Your Property. Your vacation property is amazing for you, your family, and your friends that all use and enjoy staying. But it’s kind of a money pit. So getting reimbursed from friends and family using it for nights stayed, cleaning expenses, and other property maintenance costs would be amazing. 

When you run a small business, you can't always pay top dollar wages like some massive tech companies do. But that doesn't mean your team shouldn't be happy both at work and when they have time away. Most of that starts with treating people like actual human beings instead of numbers to fill HR goals. Letting your people use your getaway place for vacations not only shows your trust in them, but can significantly reduce the cost burden of taking a vacation that's truly relaxing. After all, alleviating financial stress is the number one way to incrementally increase happiness and life satisfaction (up to a certain point - well above average income levels). It's a simple fact, happy people stay longer and do better work.

Stayy lets you set user roles for your property guests individually. You can choose this when you invite them or change their role from your property Guest List page as needed. The preset property roles are Owner, Manager, Member, Family, and Guest. You can also adjust stay scheduling settings under the Guest List Settings for each guest role.

Stayy is built for trusted friends and family to share and get the most use out of their property. All properties using Stayy for property scheduling and management are accessible by invite only. If you’re an owner or manager of a property on Stayy (or considering using Stayy to make your property scheduling a lot easier), here’s how to invite your network of trusted friends and family to your Stayy property.

Stayy lets you set your property availability in a few ways to give you as much control and flexibility as possible.

Stayy loves sharing, so share more than your property (even if you’re using one of those other platforms for vacation rental marketing). Share your knowledge of the best local places you love, in the most accessible way possible. If you don’t already know the power of google maps, you should check it out.

We know sharing your place is hard. Asking to stay at other's places is hard. Make it easier with Stayy! Many travel plans are made well in advance of seeing a chance facebook post saying something like “my place is available next week while I’m on vacation.” Stayy proves more people will share and stay with friends, or in places owned by friends, when it’s easier to see where they can stay, easier to schedule, and easier to manage their place.
