STR Host Hacks

If you’ve ever considered investing in a STR course ⤵️

You’re not alone.

When we were looking for our first STR, I seriously considered.

In the end, I chose to save the money and figure it out on my own.

Here’s what I learned:

Through Google, Facebook groups, and YouTube, I was able to figure it out, but the learning curve was steep and I invested a lot of late nights.

Going through this, I wished there was a middle ground - a place where you could find some tips and templates (organized all in one place) to help fast track the learning curve.

This is what inspired to me to start this page:

✨ I created 15 STR resources - the exact tools, templates, and checklists I wish I had when I started hosting.

⭐️Choose only the resources you need, exactly when you need them—saving you time, effort, and money. 

I hope these tools and guides help you save the $10K on a course and invest that into your STR instead!

One mistake I see so many STR hosts make…

Assuming guests will “figure it out.”

Guests don’t want to guess.
They want to be guided.

Most mid-stay questions, complaints, and bad reviews don’t come from a bad property. They come from unclear expectations.

That’s why guest communication is one of the biggest leverage points in a short-term rental.

Every message you send is shaping the guest’s experience:

• how confident they feel checking in
• whether they reach out when something feels off
• how they think about the stay when it’s time to leave a review

We don’t wait for guests to ask questions.
We answer them before they come up.

That means:

• clear signage in the home
• intentional wording in every message
• automated timing so nothing is missed
• subtle cues that reinforce a 5-star experience

It’s not pushy. It’s proactive.

And it’s one of the biggest reasons we consistently earn 5-star reviews without living in our inbox.

Lost in the STR lingo?👇🏻

If terms like PMS, OTA, ADR, and RevPar have you second guessing yourself, you’re not alone.

I created a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲, 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻-𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗦𝗧𝗥 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 that breaks down the words hosts actually use so you can make decisions faster and sound confident doing it.

No fluff. No guesswork. Just clear definitions you’ll use every day.
