We focus on Sonoma Airbnb management and short-term or monthly rentals. With expert knowledge and over five years of experience in the rental space, Standout Stays knows how to generate the highest returns on your investment.
We have also achieved close to 100% 5-Star reviews from guests, allowing us to offer our clients a very rare guarantee in this industry: for those guests that leave a written review on any of the platforms, if the review comes with less than a perfect 5-Stars and the reasoning is something within our control, we will not charge you a commission for that stay!
Services

We have a team to answer any guest questions, inquiries, booking requests, check-ins, and property maintenance around the clock.

Pre-arrival and post-departure inspections alert us to any maintenance issues that can be addressed within hours, keeping your property in 5-Star condition for new guests.

Dedicated Local Team
A local property manager is responsible for your home and conducts inspections, restocks supplies, and schedules any maintenance repairs.
Precision Marketing
We list your home on top booking platforms with professional photos and custom listing descriptions to maximize revenue and bookings.
Calendar Management
We manage your listing’s calendar to prevent double bookings and make it easy for homeowners to reserve personal stays.
Licensing & Permit Applications
If your Sonoma rental property is not currently permitted for short-term rentals, we complete and submit licensing and permitting applications on your behalf.
Guest Screening
We screen all guests to confirm they’re the right fit. This includes a guest contract, review of past feedback, and clear communication of restrictions and house rules.
Active Monitoring
With tools such as video doorbells, decibel-level noise devices, and remote door locks, we monitor for restricted activities and protect your home.
Claims & Damage Recovery
In the rare case of damage, we coordinate claims with the booking platform or insurance and replace or repair affected items.
Our Fees
We use a commission model based on total gross revenues for each property on a nightly basis. Our rates are all-inclusive, and guests pay separate cleaning fees. Homeowners typically keep 75% of gross revenue for short-term rentals and 80% for monthly rentals.
What is your fee?
Standout Stays offers a competitive commission-based fee for Sonoma short-term rentals. This covers all aspects of management and revenue optimization. Your return depends on nightly rates, property quality, and monthly availability. Clients keep 75% of gross revenue earned.
What other expenses can I expect?
For furnished, guest-ready properties, clients pay a small onboarding fee that covers professional photography, listing setup/optimization, and (if needed) home automation devices like a keypad lock, noise sensors, and a video doorbell. Ongoing expenses include consumables (paper products, toiletries, kitchen and cleaning supplies) and any repairs/maintenance required to keep your home at a 5-Star level.
How does cleaning work?
Dedicated cleaners follow a hotel-standard checklist specific to your property, and we inspect after each turnover. Except for the initial deep clean and occasional maintenance cleanings (e.g., carpet cleaning), cleaning costs are paid by guests.
What makes Standout Stays stand out?
We deliver a 5-Star experience for both guests and owners, handling everything from marketing and 24/7 communications to maintenance coordination and strategic pricing. We’re an excellent fit for remote investors seeking strong returns without day-to-day operations.
How is Standout Stays different than Airbnb and VRBO?
Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and others are online travel agencies (OTAs) where properties are listed and booked. Standout Stays is a short-term rental property management company. We expertly list your property on OTAs, optimize pricing, manage 24/7 guest communications, and oversee all property operations to remove stress from renting your investment.
What happens if guests cause damage?
Significant issues are rare thanks to our no-party policy and guest screening. For larger issues, we pursue recovery from responsible guests via security deposits (for direct bookings) or platform resolution centers. Airbnb and VRBO offer Host Guarantees up to USD $1,000,000. We also recommend a homeowners insurance policy that covers short-term rentals.
Is short-term better than long-term rentals?
Short-term rentals often see less wear and tear since guests spend more time exploring the area. Our team is in the property frequently to clean and monitor maintenance. Financially, short-term rentals can generate 2–3x the revenue of a long-term lease.
