How It Works

From first call to fully booked — here's exactly what happens

No long-term contract, no guesswork. Here's the full process, step by step — how KeySpot Stays takes a San Diego home from first conversation to live, optimized vacation rental.

The process

Six steps, start to finish

Most owners go from first form to live listing in about a week. Here's what each step involves.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your property

    Fill out a short form (or give us a call) with your property's basics — address, bedroom count, whether it's currently listed, and your goals. It takes less than 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    We run the numbers

    Before you commit to anything, we pull real performance data for your property and compare it against similar homes in your area — so you know what kind of upside is realistic before signing up.

  3. 3

    Pick your plan, no contract required

    Choose Essentials, Complete, or Portfolio pricing based on what you need. There's no long-term commitment — you can leave at any time if it's not working for you.

  4. 4

    We handle the photoshoot and listing setup

    A professional photographer comes to your property, and we build a fully optimized listing — title, description, and pricing strategy — across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.

  5. 5

    Your calendar goes live

    Once your listing is live, we manage pricing, guest screening, communication, and booking coordination day to day. Both plans include monthly owner statements. Complete also includes a dedicated performance advisor local to San Diego.

  6. 6

    We keep optimizing, month after month

    This isn't set-it-and-forget-it. We regularly review your property's performance and adjust pricing, listing content, and strategy as market conditions change.
