Getting Started
Learn the basics of KynStay — what it is, how it works, and who it's for.
What is KynStay?
KynStay is a private property sharing platform that lets you share your vacation home with friends and family — no public listings, no strangers.
How KynStay Works
A step-by-step guide to sharing your vacation home privately — for both hosts and guests.
Why KynStay is Not a PMS (and Why That Matters)
KynStay isn't a property management system — it's a private sharing platform. Learn how it differs from Guesty, Hostaway, and Lodgify.
Setting Rates That Work for Everyone
A practical guide to pricing your KynStay property so both you and your guests feel good about it — no platform fees, more in your pocket.
Advanced Pricing
Go beyond a flat nightly rate with weekend adjustments, seasonal rates, and per-night overrides — fine-grained control without the complexity.
Stay Exchanges & The Ledger
Trade stays with other hosts instead of paying cash. The ledger tracks balances so everything stays fair.
Inviting Guests
Share your property with the right people — email invitations, share links, approval modes, and managing guest access over time.
Calendar Sync
Keep your KynStay calendar in sync with Airbnb, VRBO, and other platforms using iCal feeds to prevent double-bookings.
