We Built and Sold a 7-Figure Airbnb Business - Now We’ll Help You Do the Same.
We’ve lived every stage of the short-stay journey - from our first listing to a portfolio generating millions in bookings. After selling our business, we’re sharing the exact roadmap that made it possible.
Starting and growing a business is hard - we know because we’ve done it. For 7+ years, we lived and breathed the journey of building something from scratch. We faced the late nights, the uncertainty, the constant problem-solving, and the endless learning curve. But through persistence and the right strategies, we grew, scaled, and ultimately sold our business for a life-changing outcome.

Meet Your Mentors
We’re Leigh Ashbee and Taylor Norman, founders of The Short Stay Consultancy. With over a decade in the short-term rental industry, we’ve built and scaled our own STR portfolios from single properties to multi-unit operations, navigating everything from market volatility to operational challenges.
Our passion lies in empowering others to succeed in this dynamic space. After years of refining strategies that drove our growth, we’ve developed comprehensive programs - from beginner blueprints to advanced scaling plans - designed to streamline operations, boost revenue, and foster sustainable expansion. We’re committed to delivering personalised 1:1 coaching and expert advice, helping homeowners, investors, and managers achieve their goals without the guesswork.
Why We Exist
Even with the endless sea of courses, “gurus,” and mentors online, very few can genuinely guide you through the entire short-stay journey - from your very first property to scaling a full operation and eventually achieving a profitable exit.
Most stop at surface-level advice. They can tell you what to do but rarely how to do it - and almost never with the transparency or accountability that comes from having lived it firsthand.
We built The Short Stay Consultancy to change that.
Our mission is to provide honest, experience-backed guidance that covers every stage - setup, growth, automation, and scaling - all the way through to selling or stepping back on your own terms. We don’t believe in theory or shortcuts; we believe in tested systems, straight-talking advice, and helping you make the smartest moves possible for your business.
If you’re serious about building something sustainable, profitable, and built to last - this is where you’ll find the roadmap.
