Short-Term Rental Management Services in Manila

Managing an Airbnb property involves much more than listing a unit online. Manila Stay provides the operational backbone needed to run a short-term rental professionally.

Dynamic Pricing

Pricing strategy based on demand, seasonality, and local market conditions.

Availability control and booking oversight to reduce friction and missed revenue.

24/7 Guest Communication

Damage Claims

Owner Reporting

Two Property Management Models

Some owners want upside. Others want stability. Manila Stay offers both.

Model 1

Airbnb Co-Hosting

Best for owners who want to maximize income with direct Airbnb visibility.

  • Owner keeps the Airbnb listing
  • Airbnb automatically splits payouts
  • 75% owner / 25% Manila Stay
  • Full transparency inside Airbnb
  • Owner funds setup and property preparation

This co-hosting model is ideal for owners who want performance upside while keeping visibility on bookings and revenue.

Model 2

Guaranteed Rent

Best for owners who want fixed monthly income with zero operational involvement.

  • Owner receives fixed monthly rent
  • Manila Stay operates the property directly
  • Setup costs covered by Manila Stay
  • Property preparation covered by Manila Stay
  • Operational risk assumed by Manila Stay

This model is ideal for owners who prefer stable income instead of variable short-term rental performance.

Potential Short-Term Rental Income in Manila

A well-managed short-term rental can outperform a traditional long-term lease, especially in strong demand areas like Makati and near NAIA Airport.

Property Typical Long-Term Rent Potential STR Revenue
Makati Studio ₱25,000 ₱55,000 – ₱75,000
1BR Makati ₱35,000 ₱80,000 – ₱120,000
2BR near NAIA ₱45,000 ₱110,000 – ₱160,000

Actual performance depends on building rules, location, setup quality, seasonality, and demand.

Where We Operate

Makati

Strong business travel demand, walkable areas, and consistent short-term rental activity around Greenbelt and the CBD.

Parañaque / Near NAIA

Strong demand for airport stays, transit nights, family arrivals, and early departures near Manila airport.

Additional locations may be considered depending on building rules, property quality, and operating fit.

Real Manila Stay Properties

Manila Stay already operates real short-term rentals in the Manila market, with systems built around guest experience, occupancy, and operational clarity.

Why Work With Manila Stay

Many property managers focus on long-term leasing. Manila Stay focuses on short-term rental operations, where speed, systems, and guest experience directly affect revenue.

  • Fast guest response times
  • Revenue-focused pricing strategy
  • Turnover and issue resolution systems
  • Local operating knowledge in Manila

Aligned incentives

In co-hosting, when your property performs better, everyone benefits. In guaranteed rent, you get predictable income while Manila Stay takes the operational risk.

Is Your Condo Suitable for Airbnb?

Not every condo is a good fit for short-term rental management. A beautiful unit in the wrong building is still the wrong unit.

Building Rules

We review building restrictions, endorsement requirements, guest access rules, and short-term rental compatibility before onboarding.

Location Demand

We assess whether the area has real short-term rental demand, not just theoretical potential.

Revenue Potential

We estimate whether the unit makes sense under co-hosting or guaranteed rent based on demand, setup, and operating fit.

Property review

Start With a Property Questionnaire

This short questionnaire takes about 2 minutes and helps us evaluate whether your condo is a good fit for short-term rental management.

What we review

We review the building name and location, unit configuration, guest amenities, building rules, internet setup, readiness for launch, and whether your goal is higher variable income or fixed monthly rent.

No commitment. We first assess whether the condo is a good operational fit.

The more precise the answers, the faster we can tell whether the unit is a good fit and which model makes the most sense.

Next steps

Typical Onboarding Process

Once a property looks like a good fit, Manila Stay follows a simple process to launch the unit properly.

1. Initial Property Review

We review the unit, building rules, location, and expected short-term rental potential.

2. Model Recommendation

We recommend the most suitable setup: Airbnb co-hosting or guaranteed rent.

3. Setup & Preparation

We identify what is needed before launch, including linens, internet, access instructions, and operational basics.

4. Listing & Pricing Setup

We create or optimize the listing, prepare the pricing strategy, and organize guest communication systems.

5. Go Live

Once the property is ready, the unit goes live and Manila Stay begins managing bookings and operations.

6. Ongoing Management

We handle guest communication, turnovers, issue resolution, and owner reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions
