The story behind The Direct Stay
It Started With My Clients. Now It’s For Everyone.
As a real estate agent in Puerto Vallarta, I’ve never seen a real estate transaction as the end of the relationship. I always want to help my clients make the most of their investment, long after they’ve received the keys.
For clients who purchased properties as vacation rentals, that meant connecting them with travelers looking to book directly. It was a simple way to help owners generate rental income while giving guests the opportunity to save on booking fees.
What started as something I was doing for my own clients made me realize that the opportunity could be much bigger. Why limit it to a handful of properties when opening it to everyone could make the platform more valuable for all?
If we have more properties and more people sharing the platform, we all have the opportunity to benefit from greater exposure and traffic.
The goal is simple: make vacations more affordable for guests while helping property owners keep more of their rental income.

The Direct Stay connects guests directly with independent hosts. Rental terms, payments and reservations are arranged between guest and host. Sending an inquiry does not create a reservation.
