We build direct booking sites for STR owners who refuse to accept 15-20% OTA fees as inevitable
The short-term rental industry has a problem. OTAs like Airbnb and VRBO charge 15-20% of every booking. They sit between you and your guests. They own the relationship. And most "direct booking" tools force you to pick a single PMS—which doesn't work for portfolio operators running properties across multiple systems.
I built BuffStays to solve this. Having worked extensively with PMS integrations and vacation rental websites, I understand what operators actually need: flexibility across multiple systems, not another tool that forces consolidation.
The solution: custom Next.js sites that connect to every PMS you use simultaneously. Hostaway, Hospitable, OwnerRez, Guesty—all feeding into one branded booking experience. Real-time sync. Zero double bookings. And you keep 100% of your revenue (minus standard payment processing fees).
This isn't a SaaS platform. I don't give you a login to a dashboard with limited customization. I build bespoke sites using a custom SDK—giving you all the power of custom development without the agency price tag.
My belief
STR owners built hospitality businesses, not tech companies. You shouldn't need to become a developer to escape OTA fees. I handle the technical complexity so you can focus on what you do best: creating great guest experiences.
How I work
Bespoke, not templated
Every site is custom-designed for your brand. I use reusable components under the hood, but what guests see is uniquely yours.
Integration-first
The SDK is built around PMS flexibility. Multi-system setups aren't edge cases—they're the default I design for.
Long-term partnership
I don't build and disappear. Your site evolves with your portfolio. Support and updates are part of the relationship.
