CielStay Pro

Rent your home your way — by the night, the month, or the year. Talk to guests, share your agreement, and block your calendar when you make a deal. Guests pay you directly.

FOUNDING HOST OFFER

The first 100 hosts get CielStay Pro free for a year

Add or claim your first home and Pro switches on automatically, on every listing you hold, for 12 months. No verification needed, no credit card, nothing to cancel. When the year ends you decide whether to renew; if you don’t, your listings and any verification stay as they are, and only the Pro features stop.

How direct deals work with Pro

  1. A guest finds your home on CielStay and sends an inquiry with their dates and details.
  2. You agree on terms and share your rental agreement or lease.
  3. The guest pays you directly, using the payment method you choose.
  4. You block the dates on CielStay, and they sync to your other calendars.

CielStay is where guests find you and reach you. We never process payments or take a commission, and Pro is only available to verified owners, so guests know they’re talking to the real host.

Questions

What’s in the monthly report?

Views of your listing, clicks through to your booking site, guest inquiries, and how often AI assistants offered your home, by assistant. It’s emailed on the 2nd of each month and is on your dashboard. It counts what we record, and some visitors block analytics, so treat it as a floor.

Is the rental agreement an e-signature?

No. You upload your own agreement for each kind of stay and share it in the conversation; a confirmed stay includes it. Signing and payment stay between you and your guest.

How does calendar blocking reach my PMS?

Stays you confirm or record, and dates you block, go into a private calendar link (.ics). Add it to your PMS, Airbnb or Vrbo calendar import so those dates close everywhere. How often it refreshes depends on your PMS.

Who counts as one of the first 100 hosts?

Anyone who creates a CielStay account and then creates or claims at least one listing. Claiming means taking over a listing we already show; creating means adding a home yourself. Spots go in the order hosts qualify, and you don’t have to verify ownership first — that’s deliberate while we’re in alpha. CielStay staff accounts don’t count.

When does my free year start?

The day you qualify — when you have an account and your first listing. Your free year runs 12 months from then, across every listing you hold.

Will I be charged automatically afterwards?

No. There’s no credit card to enter and nothing to cancel, and we will never charge you without asking first. When your free year ends, Pro simply stops unless you choose to renew. Your listings, any verification and your guest inquiries stay.

I have several properties. Does the offer cover all of them?

Yes — every listing you hold, including ones you add later during your free year. Pro is normally priced per property at $100/year each, so a founding host with four homes is getting $400 of it. The hundred spots are counted by host, not by property.

Do guests need Pro, or pay to message a host?

No. Guests never pay anything on CielStay. Any guest can message the host of any listing, and every host reads and replies for free, with or without Pro.

What happens to inquiries sent before I claim my listing?

We save them. Guests can send inquiries about any home on CielStay, and the listing shows how many guests have asked in the last 90 days. Once you claim the listing they appear in your CielStay Messages, where you can read and reply for free. If we emailed you a guest's message before you joined, you can also just reply to that email: your reply reaches the guest.

Does CielStay take bookings or payments?

No. Guests pay you directly, using whatever payment method you choose. CielStay never touches the money and takes no commission. CielStay isn’t party to your booking or payment. Agree dates, price and terms with your guest in writing; reserving with a small deposit and the balance on arrival is a safer practice for both of you.

What am I responsible for?

Everything a direct booking involves: your rental agreement, collecting payment, and local rules. That includes occupancy tax on shorter stays where it applies, any permits your city requires, and fair housing rules for long-term rentals.

Is the website badge part of Pro?

No. The “Find us on CielStay” badge for your own website is free for every host who has claimed a listing, and it doesn’t affect ranking. How to add it: cielstay.com/help/website-badge.
