Everything you need to know about how TendStay works, what makes our support different, and how we help short-term rental owners operate with more confidence.
Clear answers for owners
who want better support
TendStay is a subscription-based support service for short-term rental owners. We offer proactive maintenance oversight, high-touch co-hosting support, and a combined premium option that brings both together in one more complete operational model.
Most co-hosting services focus primarily on guest messaging and booking support. TendStay goes further by also helping owners stay on top of maintenance-related needs, recurring upkeep, vendor coordination, appointment scheduling, and operational follow-through. Our model is designed to support both the guest experience and the ongoing care of the property itself.
No. TendStay is not traditional full-service property management. Our model is designed for owners who want stronger support, better organization, and more consistent follow-through without fully handing over control of their property.
TendCare is TendStay’s proactive maintenance oversight service. It helps owners stay organized with repairs, recurring maintenance, vendor coordination, service appointments, and ongoing property care — not only issues caused by guests, but the full maintenance life of the property.
