HOW HOSTING WORKS

A clear path from
listing to welcoming guests.

Start with your property. We’ll help you understand the connection, listing and booking setup before you go live.

01

START WITH THE BASICS

Create your free host account.

Tell us who is responsible for the property and how to reach you. Owners and authorized property managers can get started.

  • Legal lodging-provider and contact details
  • Property address and authority to list
  • Local contact for guest needs and property issues
Create your host account

WORK WITH YOUR SETUP

Confirm how your listing connects.

A supported PMS connection can bring property information, rates and availability into the marketplace. Supported fields and setup steps vary by system.

Already using a PMS?

Tell us the system and which properties you want to connect. Confirm the channel settings before enabling bookings.

Starting without one?

Create your account or talk with our team about the listing and calendar setup available for your property.

Keep calendars accurate across every channel you use. A connection does not remove the need to review your rates, fees and availability.

MAKE THE DETAILS COUNT

Review the stay guests will see.

Strong photos and accurate details help guests decide whether your place is right for them. Review the live listing and the booking flow before accepting reservations.

  • Photos you have permission to use and an accurate description
  • Bedrooms, beds, bathrooms and maximum guest count
  • Amenities, access details, stairs and important limitations
  • Rates, guest fees, minimum stays and cancellation terms
  • House rules and any disclosed pre-arrival requirements

KNOW THE ARRANGEMENT

Confirm fees and payments, then go live.

The standard commission is 10% of booking amounts and guest fees, excluding actual taxes. Processing charges are additional. Your accepted schedule identifies the exact rate and base, payment collector, gateway, payout timing and any applicable charges.

Under the standard direct-payment setup, guest payments go through the host’s connected gateway or software. That provider controls actual payout timing; GoStayFlorida does not promise a universal 48-hour payout.

Once setup and review are complete and your listing is enabled, keep your calendar current and respond to guests through your agreed booking and messaging setup.
