List a home with Cloubay
We take on around forty new houses a year. If yours is one of them you get longer bookings, better guests and someone else answering the emails.
For owners
Fewer bookings, worth more each.
Our average stay is 6.4 nights against a market average of 3.1, and our guests book 82 days ahead. That means fewer changeovers, fewer cleans and a calendar you can plan your own year around.
We are selective for the same reason you are: a house that is right for a guest gets looked after. Ninety-four percent of our owners renew after the first season.
How it works
Three steps, two to four weeks

We come and stay
A night at our cost. We shoot it properly if the photography is not there yet — no charge, you keep the files.
You go live
Calendar synced, copy written by us and approved by you, enquiries handled from day one.

We reply to every enquiry, including the ones we turn down — with a reason.
Questions
Owner FAQ
What does it cost to list?
Nothing up front. We take a flat 12% of the accommodation total when a booking completes, and we never take a cut of your cleaning or extras. Photography is free if we think the house needs it.
Do I keep my own calendar?
Yes. We sync two ways with Airbnb, Vrbo, Lodgify, Guesty and anything that speaks iCal, so you can keep whatever you already use. Most owners keep one or two other channels and use us for the longer, better-paying stays.
Who deals with the guest?
We do, until the day they arrive. Enquiries, holds, contracts, deposits, arrival instructions and the awkward questions all come to us. You get a confirmed booking, a briefing and the guest's phone number.
What if something gets broken?
Every stay carries $5,000 of damage cover at no cost to you, and we hold a refundable security deposit on top for houses over $800 a night. Claims are handled by us, not by you.
How long does it take to go live?
Two to four weeks. A call, a visit, a shoot if needed, then copy and calendar. We will tell you honestly on the call whether the house is right for the collection.
