Hands-off short-let management for your property
We furnish, list, price and manage your property as a short let — you get paid, without the day-to-day. Based in West Sussex and Surrey, managing properties across the UK.
Free valuation
Honest advice. No obligation, no fees to see it.
Managing a short let yourself is a full-time job on top of the one you already have.
Guest messages at odd hours, cleaners to organise between every stay, pricing that needs constant attention, and compliance to keep on top of — it adds up quickly, and most landlords either burn out trying to do it all or leave the property under-let while they figure it out. Odyssey Stays exists to take that whole workload off your hands.
A fully outsourced service, run on your behalf
Short-let management means a specialist team runs your property as a short-term rental for you — listing it, pricing it, looking after guests, keeping it clean and compliant — while you receive a straightforward monthly payout instead of a stack of admin.
Property
Staging, furnishing (or a buy-list), housekeeping and linen between every stay, and maintenance coordinated through trusted local contacts.
Online
Professional listings, photography, dynamic pricing and calendar management, so your property is priced and presented properly wherever it's booked.
Guest management
Guest vetting and communication, check-in and check-out, and a point of contact if anything comes up during a stay.
Simple to start, genuinely hands-off
