Stayy Blog

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. 

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.

Sharing is hard. Asking 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.

Here's a quick look at how your property page could look on Stayy. Because all properties on Stayy are invite only, only the guests you allow access to will be able to see your property page. You can also Join Stayy and check out the live Example Property to see how the property calendar functions from a guest perspective.

You've probably wondered the same thing I did. How do I easily manage scheduling for my family vacation property? Stayy is the answer. Stayy is the ultimate privately shared shared vacation home calendar. We’ve designed and built most efficient (invite only) property scheduling calendar we’ve ever seen. Instantly see who's coming and going on the shared booking calendar. Your property guests can schedule by the whole place, by sleeping space, or by guest — it’s all super simple to set up quickly and manage your place the way you want. You can even set different scheduling rules (and pricing) for family than you do for guests. Members and managers can invite other guests if you allow it. And the invite only scheduling calendar is free for you and your friends to use (accepting payments costs a small transaction fee).

Stay is, in our opinion, the ideal name for the product we are building. Specifically intended to make it easy to Stay. But why the extra Y? Well, a couple reasons. First domain names are more and more difficult to get. Especially short property spelled .com domain names, some of which is due to domain squatters trying to sell them for obscene amounts of money. Stayy was one of many natural option to extend stay and find an available domain name.
