ARE YOU READY FOR MORE BOOKINGS?
Your stay should work as good as it looks.
Maybe your bookings have slowed down. Maybe the reviews are great, but the numbers aren't. Maybe you know your property needs a refresh but can't figure out what isn't connecting. Maybe the reviews have recently started to go down but there is time to stop the “Review Sink”
Or maybe you haven't even bought the property yet.
That's where we come in.
At The Southern Stay, we combine real estate, investing, hospitality, marketing and hands-on hosting experience to help owners create stays people actually want to book.
Whether you need a second set of eyes or someone beside you from concept to launch, there's a way to work with us.
THE SOUTHERN STAY MENU
THE STAY ANALYSISON-SITE HOST CONSULTING
Let us experience your stay like a guest.
There are things you simply can't see online.For properties needing a deeper evaluation, we'll experience the property firsthand with a three-night stay, then combine what we learn on-site with a complete online analysis.
Depending on the property and consultation, we'll look at everything from arrival and first impressions to comfort, amenities, design, functionality, guest communication and those little details guests notice but don't always tell you about. Includes:
Three-night property stay
Guest-experience evaluation
Complete online analysis
Competitive positioning
Property and amenity recommendations
Follow-up consulting
30–60 days of support, depending on your package
Custom proposal based on property and location.
A fresh set of eyes on your stay.
We'll take a deep dive into your property's online presence and look at it through the eyes of a potential guest.
Your analysis can include:
Listing presentation
Photography and photo order

Have the property—or the idea—but don't know where to start?
The best time to make smart STR decisions is before you've spent the money.

That can start as early as evaluating a potential investment and continue through concept, setup and launch.
We can help with:
Property and investment evaluation
Market positioning
Ideal guest
Concept development
Layout and functionality
Design direction
Furniture and amenity planning
