Meet the Hosts of Curate Your Stay

The voices behind Curate Your Stay own a cottage on the East Coast that is part-time vacation home, part-time Airbnb, and grossed over $100K in its first year. They lovingly renovated (and continue to renovate!) their home and have been able to cover the updates almost entirely thanks to their short term rental income.

But it goes so much deeper than the bottom line.

They believe guests know and appreciate the difference between a host who is personally invested in their property and one who sees it as an easy way to make a quick buck. They know that hosting isn't passive income and that every meaningful interaction with a delighted guest is worth more than a 4-figure booking. They understand that guests recognize when a property has been intentionally styled and stocked with items that make each getaway feel like a luxury stay. And they know that successful vacation rental marketing makes guests want to become part of that home’s story.

Their home is a branded, intentional experience, and they let their unique style and personality show through in every textile choice, every book on the bookshelf, and every conversation with every guest. And they're sharing their secrets with you.

 FAQs

  • I’m happy to send it to you if you reach out and we’ve built a relationship! Since we do share specific revenue numbers and metrics, I’d rather stay a bit more anonymous on the internet.

  • We were somewhat accidental hosts! When we bought our cottage, the Airbnb idea was in the back of our minds since we knew we wouldn’t be here full-time, but we didn’t expect it to take off the way it did. It’s ended up paying for our expenses and most of our renovations, which has been incredible, especially since we are on the young end of most second home buyers.

  • On a case-by-case basis, yes! We’d be happy to meet with you and share our knowledge, as well as marketing and styling strategies.
