The problem

Three ways a good home underearns.

  • Static pricing

    Static pricing leaves money on the table. A Tuesday in November and a Saturday in July should never cost the same.

  • The second job

    Fifteen to twenty-five hours a week of messages and turnovers. Most of it at the worst possible time.

  • The call center

    A franchise call center that does not know your street.

How it works

Three steps from first call to first guest

Each step says what you do and what we do. Nothing material before a signed agreement.

  1. Indian Lake on a clear summer day from the shore, with the dock and a maple tree overhead.

    Property Fit Review

    Thirty minutes, free, by phone or video. We look at the property, the market and your goals, and you get a one-page fit summary.

    You
    Share the address, the bedroom count, the home's current status and your goal.
    We
    Return a realistic revenue range labeled as an estimate, the package that fits and a clear yes, no or not yet.
  2. The living room of the flagship home with a wood slat wall, a mounted television and a cream sofa.

    Property Analysis and onboarding

    A $350 analysis, credited to setup if you sign within 60 days. Then the agreement, photography, listing build, pricing model, cleaner and vendor setup, smart lock and supplies, house manual and guest messaging.

    You
    Sign the agreement, settle the setup fee and approve the plan.
    We
    Run the launch week by week and tell you what happens each week.
  3. A made guest bedroom in the flagship home with white linens and a dark door.

    Live

    You
    Read the statement. Use the home when you want it.
    We
    Pricing, guests, reviews, turnovers and the statement, every month.

Guest voice

Guests, in their own words

Owner stories follow as owners clear them. Until then, two public Airbnb reviews of the home we run ourselves.

The living room of the flagship home: a cream sofa, a checkered rug and a plant by the window.

“Kyle and Angelica were great hosts! They were very proactive and went above and beyond in helping us make the most of our stay.”

The people who answer

We run Beacon Stays as a small team. We own and operate a five-bedroom lakefront home on Indian Lake in Worcester, so we learned this business with our own money first. When you call, we answer. Every home we run has our name on it.

Guests get fast replies through Hospitable automations with Kyle and Angelica behind them. Owners hear from one of us, not a queue. Your statement comes every month from Hospitable.

FAQ

The questions owners ask first

What does Beacon Stays charge, and what does the fee cover?

Remote Performance starts at 20 percent of net host revenue and Full-Service starts at 25 percent. The fee covers pricing, the listing, guest communication, reviews, cleaning coordination and your monthly owner statement, and Full-Service adds the local operation: the cleaner and vendor bench, inspections and emergency dispatch coordination. Net host revenue is what you actually receive after the platform's host service fee, excluding guest cleaning fees. Setup is a one-time fee that depends on whether we take over an existing listing or launch a new one. The exact percentage for your home is quoted in your Fit Review, and the math is shown on the pricing page.

Who controls the listing and the payouts?

You do. The listing stays in your account, guest payments go to you, and you have the final say on house rules, minimum stays and your own use of the home. We work as a co-host with the access we need to run pricing, messaging and the calendar, so we are never holding your money. If we ever part ways, the listing and its reviews stay with you, because they were always yours. That is the difference between a co-host and a middleman.

How long is the agreement, and what are the exit terms?

The agreement has an initial term, then it continues with clear exit terms on both sides, set out in the agreement. We keep owners by performing, not by locking them in. You see the full terms before you sign, and we walk through them with you on the proposal call. The agreement also says how bookings already on the calendar are handled if either side ends it, so guests are not caught in the middle. The listing stays yours throughout, so leaving never means starting over.

What happens if a guest damages the home?

Your own short-term rental insurance covers the property, and we handle the claim work. We screen guests before they book, and when damage happens we document it, file the claim through the booking platform and coordinate with your insurer on anything the platform does not cover. We do not insure the home or its guests, and we will not tell you otherwise. A proper short-term rental policy, not a standard homeowner's policy, is one of the first things we check during onboarding. Damage claim filing and assistance is included in both packages.

Who handles registration, lodging taxes and town rules?

We do, as part of the service. State registration, lodging and occupancy taxes and town permits are set up during onboarding and kept current for as long as we run the home. Rules differ by state and often by town, so we verify the requirements for your property before launch rather than relying on a general guide. Where a platform collects and remits taxes, we check that your listing is configured correctly, because a misconfigured listing is the most common compliance mistake we see. We are not attorneys or accountants, and we will tell you when a question needs one.

How quickly can the home be live?

The first step is a free 30-minute Property Fit Review, and you get a one-page summary from it. Once the agreement is signed and the setup fee has cleared, a new listing typically goes live in a few weeks. The timeline depends on photography, the smart lock, the cleaner and your town's registration, and we lay it out week by week before work begins. Taking over a listing that is already live follows the same plan with fewer moving parts. No material work starts before the agreement, which protects both of us.
