Book Direct. Save Hundreds.

Stay is a vacation rental marketplace co-founded by HGTV's Scott McGillivray, built to bring travelers and professional property managers together — directly.

For travelers, Stay is about one simple thing: paying less and booking smarter. Traditional travel platforms often add 15–25% (or more) in service fees at checkout. Stay reduces those unnecessary markups by connecting you directly with professional property managers, helping you avoid inflated platform fees and keep more of your travel budget for the experience itself.

For property managers, Stay is a commission-free distribution channel designed to drive direct bookings while preserving full control. Managers keep their pricing, policies, and guest relationships intact while receiving high-intent inquiries from travelers actively planning their trips.

By removing excessive platform fees and restoring direct communication, Stay creates a better model for everyone involved: lower costs and more transparency for travelers, and stronger margins and ownership for property managers. It's a simpler, more direct way to discover and book vacation rentals.

Explore popular destinations around the world — from the beaches of Naples, Florida and Delray Beach to the slopes of Killington, Vermont. Whether you're dreaming of a Hawaiian getaway in Kihei, a cultural escape in New Orleans, or a mountain retreat in Sevierville, Tennessee, Stay has verified properties waiting for you.
