Your property.
Your link.
No OTA fees.
Staystead turns your listing into a shareable direct-booking microsite — a gallery, a live nightly-availability calendar, and a host-routed inquiry form, all under a single URL like /seaside-cottage. You skip the 15.5% Airbnb host-only fee and keep the guest relationship.

Seaside Cottage

Cinque Terre · 3 bedrooms · up to 6 guests
On every microsite
A shareable URL that does the work of a booking engine.
Every property gets a public route at /<your-slug>. Three things show up when a guest opens it — nothing else to build.
Hero gallery
One hero image, six thumbnails, click-to-zoom lightbox. Optimised via next/image and shipped local so the link loads fast on a beach's 3G.
Nightly-availability calendar
Live 90-night window with blocked dates painted in. Pick check-in, check-out, see the nights × price quote update in real time.
Host-routed inquiry form
react-hook-form + zod, server-validated, posted to /api/inquiry. The submission is persisted and emailed to you, not a third-party inbox.
How it ships
Send the link. Take the booking. Keep the guest.
Share your microsite URL in your Airbnb message after confirmation, in the QR sticker on the inside of your door, or in the footer of every email you send. Guests who like the stay rebook on your channel — at the price you set, with no host-only fee disappearing into someone else's P&L.
Compliant on Airbnb
Messaging stays on Airbnb until booking is confirmed. The direct-booking link is offered after the stay — never as off-platform outreach.
You set the price
Owned nightly rate with no dynamic-pricing marketplace auctioning your last summer to the lowest bidder.
Inquiries land in your inbox
Not a CRM dashboard you forgot the password to. Plain email, plain Google Calendar invite back.
No lock-in
Every inquiry exports as CSV. Cancelling means changing one DNS record — the guest list and the photos stay with you.
Pricing
Three tiers. Same direct-booking site. Pick the depth of automation you need.
Every plan ships your own /<your-slug> microsite with the gallery, calendar, and inquiry form. Higher tiers add channel sync, payments, leases, and the maintenance pipeline. See the full comparison below.

What’s in each plan
The stay-management features, side by side.
Five features that show up the moment a guest lands or a host sits down at the laptop. The centre column is what most working hosts end up on.

A working microsite, not a screenshot.

- Public shareable URL — no login required to view or inquire.
- Live availability check before the inquiry email goes out.
- Inquiry persists server-side even if the email bounces.
