Manual concierge launch is live—automation rolls out after we validate with real guests and owners
Platform fees on extended stays are broken. When you book a month-long rental on Airbnb, you pay up to $465 in fees on a $3,000 booking. That's 15.5% just to access someone's listing.
For extended stays and repeat bookings, this makes no sense. The platform already did its job by introducing you. Why keep paying for every booking?
November 2025 update: We're validating the solution with a manual concierge MVP. Every guest and owner gets a human touch while we finalize the automated billing system.
Direct Stay Bookings helps guests and property owners connect directly for extended stays (14+ days) and repeat bookings.
We're not replacing Airbnb or Vrbo - we're solving a specific problem they're not built for: long-term relationships between guests and property owners.
No hidden fees. No complex pricing. Just honest, straightforward service.
We make direct booking easy. Find a property, get contact info, negotiate directly.
We're laser-focused on extended stays and repeat bookings. That's our specialty.
Both sides win. Guests save money. Owners get direct relationships. Win-win.

Direct Stay Bookings was born from a simple frustration: paying $465 in Airbnb fees for a month-long stay seemed excessive. The platform already connected me with the property - why keep paying for every booking?
After talking to property owners, I learned they felt the same way. They loved Airbnb for finding guests, but hated paying 15% fees on 14+ day bookings and repeat visitors.
So we built Direct Stay Bookings: a simple directory that helps guests and owners connect directly for the bookings where it makes sense.
