Turn Your UK Property Into a High-Performing Short-Let
We handle everything: listings, guests, cleaning, pricing and payouts. You just watch the income land.
What Is Airbnb & Short-Let Management?
Airbnb and short-let management is a fully outsourced service where a specialist team runs your property as a short-term rental on your behalf. Instead of handling listings, pricing, guest enquiries, check-ins, cleaning, reviews and maintenance yourself, you hand the day-to-day operation over to a manager who does it all for you.
At CoStays, we act as your partner: we craft the listing, optimise nightly rates, answer guest messages around the clock, coordinate professional cleaning and linen, manage key handovers, collect reviews, and deal with repairs, compliance and safety requirements. At the end of each month, you receive a single payout with none of the operational work.
It’s a hands-off way to earn more from your property while keeping full ownership and control. We already manage a growing portfolio of homes across the UK, from city apartments to coastal and countryside houses.

Built by property professionals who wanted a better way
CoStays was founded by UK property professionals who had managed buy-to-lets and short-lets themselves — and were frustrated by patchy service, hidden fees and poor communication.
We built a management company we would trust with our own properties: combining hotel-grade hospitality with landlord-first transparency, so owners get higher yields without the operational workload.
- Founded in 2021 — Born in the UK short-let market and scaled landlord by landlord.
- Founder-led service — The same people who started CoStays still run it day-to-day.
- Property investing & management background — We’ve owned, renovated and let homes ourselves.
- Built for landlords by landlords — Every process was designed from the owner’s seat.
