Short-term rental operations specialistI help professional hosts with 5+ properties build the systems, software and team that run the business even when they have their phone off. So they can finally make it through their kid's birthday party without checking their phone.
Hi, I'm Marisa Grover.I run Simply Stay, a short-term rental company with 50+ properties across Texas and New Mexico. I'm passionate about building a business and a life that can coexist.
Anytime a guest has a question, it still comes to you.You hired a VA and somehow it's more work.It feels like you're paying for 100 subscriptions just to keep the business running.Five tools, ten tabs, and nobody knows where anything lives.Your last "vacation" was answering guests from the pool.It's not a you problem. It's a systems problem. And systems, I can fix.
Build it yourself with my playbook and a room full of operators, or have me in your business building it with you.
For hands-on hosts who want to build it themselves, with someone in their corner.
For busy operators who want me inside their business. We map it, build it, and help you train your team on it.
Systems only solve half the problem. The other half is having the right people run them. We help with hiring too, and place trained, ethically employed VAs from the Philippines who are ready to plug into your systems.

Allison's VA covered every guest while she was at her son's birthday party, and then on her first real vacation.

Marissa · Minted StayA real onboarding process, an SOP vault and a new org chart meant Cody's decisions stopped bottlenecking the company.

I went from 1 Airbnb to 40+ in two years, and it nearly broke me. I cancelled date nights when cleaners bailed. I talked a guest through resetting a breaker in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner. I answered guest messages in the delivery room while having contractions with my second baby.
One day I decided I couldn't sustain it this way, so I made the decision to build my business differently. It was a big pivot. I've now built my company three times and worked with 75+ homes and homeowners along the way, and today Simply Stay runs 50+ properties across Texas and New Mexico with a team that doesn't need me in every thread. Every system I teach, I run in my own business first.
New
Every week I sit down with operators and get real about the stories and systems behind running short-term rentals. The wins, the messes, and the stuff nobody posts on Instagram.
grab your coffee (or your carpool line) and come hang out!
