StayGainesville: The Ultimate Hands-Off Solution for STR Owners
Partnering with StayGainesville = Freedom for STR Owners
When it comes to short-term rental (STR) property management, one thing matters most: freedom. Freedom from guest issues. Freedom from maintenance headaches. Freedom from managing cleaners, contractors, and complicated logistics. At StayGainesville, we believe owning a vacation rental should feel like a reward, not another job.
And that’s what truly sets us apart from bare-bones property management companies, such as Evolve and Vacasa.
While some companies offer limited support with flashy low fees, StayGainesville provides true full-service management—so you can step back and enjoy the benefits of ownership without the stress. We’re Gainesville’s top-rated, locally owned and operated STR management company for a reason: we do the work, you enjoy the returns.
What "Full-Service" Really Means
With StayGainesville, full-service means exactly what it sounds like. We handle every aspect of your rental, from start to finish:
- 24/7 guest communication and support
- Professional photography and listing creation
- Dynamic pricing and revenue optimization
- Housekeeping and turnover management
- Routine and emergency maintenance
- Stocking essentials and supplies
- Compliance with local regulations and permitting
- Direct check-ins and property inspections
The result? You never have to answer a 2 AM phone call. You don’t have to worry about whether the cleaner showed up. You don’t have to organize vendors or oversee repairs. We do it all—and we do it with a personal touch.
Local and Invested
Unlike national companies that rely on outsourced vendors and virtual support, StayGainesville is 100% local. Our team lives and works right here in Gainesville. We know the neighborhoods. We know the events that drive bookings. And we know your property.
This on-the-ground presence allows us to respond faster, catch issues before they become costly, and provide a better guest experience. It also means we can personally ensure that your property is treated with care and respect.
Owners Enjoy True Peace of Mind
Our owners don’t check in on cleaners or chase down contractors. They don’t troubleshoot lock codes or arrange handyman visits. They trust us to handle it all—and we do. For property owners, this means real peace of mind.
Whether you live across town or across the country, you can rest easy knowing your home is in the hands of a dedicated local team. And because we believe in transparency, we keep you in the loop with detailed updates, reports, and performance analytics.
Better Guest Experience = Better Returns
Because we actively manage your property, we can deliver a superior guest experience. Our in-person quality checks, responsive support, and local recommendations lead to glowing reviews—and better visibility on booking platforms.
Higher satisfaction means more bookings, higher occupancy, and greater long-term success for your rental.
Customized for You
At StayGainesville, you’re not just another property in a portfolio. We work directly with each owner to understand your preferences and goals. Want to block dates for personal use? Prefer to approve updates or décor changes? We’ll make it happen.
This flexibility and personalized approach is something national brands simply can’t replicate.
Real Owners, Real Results
Our owners often come to us after trying to self-manage or working with limited-service providers. The feedback is consistent: "We should’ve made the switch sooner."
One of our clients shared:
"I used to spend so much time managing my rental—every little thing would fall on me. StayGainesville has completely changed the game. I don’t think about my property anymore, and I earn more than I did before."
Another said:
"They treat my home like it’s their own. I finally feel like I have a team behind me."
