Our journey began eight years ago on the South Coast of England, when we launched a small short-term rental management company with just one property. What started as a simple side hustle quickly evolved into a fast-growing business. Over the years, we scaled from that single listing to managing hundreds of properties, ranging from compact city apartments to luxury beachfront homes.

As the business grew, so did our team, systems, and ambitions. We refined every part of the process — from guest experience and vendor management to pricing strategy and automation — building a strong reputation and a truly efficient operation. That business became Grandeur Property Management, one of the most recognised STR operators in the region.

After nearly a decade of hard work, learning curves and successes, we sold the company in 2025 for over £1 million. That experience gave us everything: real insight into what works, what doesn’t, and how to build a short-term rental business that actually scales and sustains.

Now, through The Short-Stay Consultancy, we’re using what we learned to help others do the same.
