Private Vacation Home Sharing for Friends & Family.
Share your vacation home with friends and family. No public listings. No platform fees. Free for your first two bookings — no credit card required.

Most hosts either use Airbnb and pay the fees,
or manage it over text and lose track.
KynStay is the organized middle ground — private booking for people you already know, without the platform overhead.
Invite-Only Access
Your home is never in a search or directory. People reach it through your invitations, or through a public profile link you choose to share.
Relationship Rates
Create named tiers for different relationships — immediate family, close friends, wider network — each with its own rate. Assign a guest to a tier once. Their rate applies automatically every time they book, without any back-and-forth.
Works With Your Tools
Sync with Airbnb, VRBO, and any calendar app via iCal. Keep private KynStay bookings in sync with your public listings — or use KynStay on its own.
Private by design.
Secure by choice.
-
Arrival Details, Delivered
Store the door code, WiFi and check-in instructions once. Confirmed guests get them automatically ahead of arrival.
-
Smart Notifications
Stay informed with real-time updates on booking requests, arrivals, and payment confirmations.
Trade stays instead of paying cash.
When two hosts know each other, they can exchange stays instead of charging. KynStay tracks the balance in a shared ledger — you stay at theirs, they stay at yours, everything stays fair.
It's the digital version of the informal arrangement that's always existed between people with second homes. Now it's tracked, transparent, and easy to settle when you're ready.
