Established in 2022 by two friends Mike and Richard, FunStay Homes is a family, group-owned, and locally-operated company that welcomes thousands of families each year into our properties.  We started off buying and owning our homes because we needed the accommodations that hotels could not provide (full kitchen, privacy, and extra space!). Our inventory continues to grow rapidly and features over 30 of the best luxury vacation home rentals located in the finest vacation resorts. Our team is extremely passionate about creating fun guest experiences while providing great value on vacation stays.

Our values are simple. We offer a commitment to the quality, friendliness of staff, and cleanliness of our vacation homes, all at affordable prices. Our priority is to create Fun experiences for our guests that exceed all expectations. We aim for constant feedback from our guests in order to ensure we are meeting their every need.  Our homes are originally created from our families to yours.  With thousands of 5-star reviews, we absolutely love what we do!

Joyce Ho / Partner / Super Host and Guest Service Director

Joyce Ho is the co-partner of FunStay Homes and a professional host who runs the day-to-day guest communication. She is also an expert in dynamic pricing, so she’s the one who keeps your home optimally priced and fully booked. She spends most of her day ensuring we outperform our competitors by studying the travel market and constantly benchmarking our performance with our top competitors. She understands the most effective way to manage short-term vacation rentals is by looking after your guests from start to finish, answering all their inquiries promptly, providing as much information as possible, and making them feel welcome before checking in until their departure date. Even then, you should follow up with them to ask about their experience. After all, that is the secret to success in the service and hospitality industry, where the customer is king. If your guests are always satisfied, their reviews will do most of the marketing for you to bring more traffic to your property listings.
