We Operate Purpose Built Vacation Rental Homes
Some of the best-performing vacation rentals in the country stand on their own. Stay Synthesis operates standalone purpose-built homes, where every design decision from floor plan to furnishings was made for short-term rental performance.

Purpose Built Designs It. Stay Synthesis Operates It.
A purpose-built vacation home is a different asset than a converted residence, and it deserves a different operator.
The “hardware” is Purpose Built. Every home we operate follows the Purpose Built framework of Steve Trover, who pioneered the modern purpose-built vacation home and developed the first structured R&D process in the category. Decades of operational data and guest behavior are translated into architectural decisions, and that process is what we build from. Bedroom counts are sized to demand. Floor plans sleep efficiently and turn over fast. Furnishings are selected for durability, review scores, and revenue rather than residential taste.
The “software” is Stay Synthesis. Founder and CEO Cori Lee built this company as the operating system for purpose-built inventory. Revenue management, guest experience, asset care, and compliance are all matched to homes engineered for performance. A generalist manager runs a purpose-built home the same way they run a converted condo, and leaves its performance on the table. We don't.
“Purpose Built designs the ‘hardware.’ We are the ‘software.’ Neither performs without the other.”
Cori Lee, Founder & CEO
How We Operate
The Stay Synthesis Operating Model
Revenue Operations
We operate every home as a revenue-producing asset, not a listing. Booking pattern analysis, seasonal demand modeling, and competitive positioning drive performance at the unit level.
Dynamic Pricing
Real-time rate management powered by market data, demand signals, and comp-set intelligence, calibrated to purpose-built inventory that outperforms its comp set by design.
Asset Care and Turnovers
Maintenance and turnover programs are engineered around the home itself. Every property is guest-ready within hours of checkout, and preventive care protects the physical asset for the long hold.
Transparent Owner Reporting
Monthly statements with full breakdowns of revenue, expenses, occupancy, and market performance. Owners see exactly what we see.
Regulatory Operations
We maintain permitting, licensing, tax, and compliance obligations in every market we operate, so the operation never stops.
Guest Experience
Five-star operations across every touchpoint, from inquiry through stay to post-checkout, protecting the reputation of every home we operate.
Start With the Right Asset

And when your home is complete, Stay Synthesis is already in place to operate it.
