About SmartStay

About SmartStay

Hospitality at heart.
Technology with purpose.

We’re building a more connected vacation rental—one that welcomes guests, helps owners see what is happening, and develops a richer operating history with every stay.

Built for vacation rentals

Guest experience and
property care belong together.

A rental has two jobs: give guests a great place to stay and keep working between bookings. SmartStay connects those sides of the property in one platform.

Smarty, the guest tablet, arrival and departure routines, connected monitoring, and the owner dashboard are designed to work as a coordinated experience. The setup is tailored to the devices and amenities at each property.

Our direction is a property that learns from its operating history, making unusual conditions easier to identify and its alerts and automations more useful over time.
