Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Co-Hosting

Your property, professionally hosted — you stay in full control.

We handle the day-to-day of running a five-star short-term rental — photography, pricing, guest communication and cleaning coordination — while your listing, your account and your payouts stay entirely yours.

Nest & Key is a co-hosting service, not a leasing company. We never take over your lease or listing — ownership and guest payouts remain with you at all times.
How you get paid

Direct, simple, transparent.

  • Guests book and pay through Airbnb / Vrbo, exactly as normal.
  • The platform pays your payout directly to your account.
  • We send you one clear invoice for our co-hosting fee each month.
  • No hidden markup, no funds ever pass through us.
01

Trust

Your property stays under your name, on your account, under your terms. We earn the right to manage it every single month — nothing is locked in.

02

Care

We treat every listing like it's the only one we manage — from the tone of a guest message to the way a cushion is left on the bed.

03

Accountability

Clear monthly invoicing, honest performance conversations, and a team that answers for the results — good months and slow ones alike.

The model, plainly

We co-host. We don't rent, lease, or take over your property.

A lot of "management" companies quietly become your landlord. We built Nest & Key to work the opposite way — you keep ownership, control, and the direct relationship with your guests' payments. We're simply the team doing the work behind the scenes.

  • Your name stays on the listing

    The property is always listed under your Airbnb/Vrbo account, never ours.

  • Guests pay the platform, the platform pays you

    We never touch your booking funds. Airbnb/Vrbo pays out to your account on their usual schedule.

  • We invoice you for our service

    A single, itemised monthly invoice for the co-hosting work we've done — nothing bundled or hidden.

  • You're free to leave anytime

    No long lock-in contracts. If Nest & Key isn't earning its place, you can end the arrangement.

What we handle

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Do you rent or lease my property from me?

No. Nest & Key is strictly a co-hosting service. We never lease, sublet or take ownership of your property — it stays listed under your name, on your Airbnb/Vrbo account, at all times.

How and when do I get paid?

Guests pay through Airbnb or Vrbo, and the platform pays your payout directly to your bank account on their normal schedule. We're never in that payment chain — we simply invoice you separately for our co-hosting fee each month.

Is cleaning included?

Cleaning is available as an add-on service for an extra fee, scheduled automatically around your bookings. It isn't bundled into the base co-hosting fee, so you only pay for it if you'd like us to handle it.

How accurate is the earnings calculator?

It's a general, illustrative estimate based on typical ranges — not a valuation of your specific property. Real performance depends on location, condition, seasonality and market demand, and isn't guaranteed.

Can I stop working with Nest & Key at any time?

Yes. Since the property and listing remain fully yours, there's no lock-in — you're free to end the arrangement whenever it no longer makes sense for you.
