Your short-term rental looks fine from the outside.
Let's find out what's happening on the inside.
STR Unlocked is a personal review of your listing, pricing, numbers, operations, and reviews, with my top three recommendations for where to focus first. Your next 3 moves.
You're in it every single day.
Maybe you've watched the bookings come in and still wondered why there's less left at the end of the month than you expected.
Maybe your calendar went quiet, so you lowered your rate, swapped a few photos, and rewrote your description, without knowing which change mattered.
Maybe you're answering guest messages at dinner and fixing things on the weekend, and the Airbnb you bought for more freedom is now running your week.
So you Google it. You listen to another podcast. You ask in a Facebook group, get twelve different opinions, and end up less certain than when you started.
Here's the scoop. That doesn't mean you're doing a bad job.
It means you're too close to see it.
When you're working in your business every day, it's hard to step back and look at it. The things holding your short-term rental back are rarely the things you've been staring at. They're the ones you can't see, because you see them every day.
Sometimes you don't need more information. You need a fresh set of experienced eyes on what you already have.
What happens when someone looks closely
Before STR Unlocked existed, I was doing these reviews for the hosts I coach. Here's what a few of them shared.
She went through my listing and website and gave me some super helpful tips on changing my photos and copy, and after probably two weeks of not getting any reservations, we received 4 reservations totaling over $10,000 in revenue in one day! That is the most we've ever had in one day.
My property has been struggling and I've been losing sleep over it and constantly worried… I redid my entire listing. Since then, I've gotten four bookings.
Every property and market is different, and these results aren't typical or guaranteed. What they show is what can happen when the right change lands in the right place.
Unlock my next 3 movesWhat we look at
We don't just look at your Airbnb listing. We look at the whole picture, so you know where your biggest opportunities really are.
Your photos, title, and description, and whether they're speaking to the guest you actually want to attract.
How your rates compare with similar listings in your market, and whether you're underpricing your nights or leaving gaps that never fill.
If you have one, we look at whether it's helping you earn bookings without the platform fees.
Based on what you share with us, we look at where money and time may be slipping out of your business.
What guests keep saying, good and bad, and what it's telling you about where to focus.
How it works
-
1Tell us about your business.
You answer a short questionnaire about your property, your business, and your goals, and share your Airbnb listing and your direct booking website, if you have one.
-
2My team and I get to work.
We review your listing, pricing, website, numbers, operations, and reviews. We're looking for what's holding you back and the opportunities you might be overlooking.
-
3Get your review within five business days.
You'll receive a personal video review, recorded by me, walking you through what we found. You'll also get a written summary with my top three recommendations.
Your next 3 moves, the ones I'd prioritize if I were in your shoes, based on your business and your goals.
Because the goal isn't to hand you more information. It's to make sure you know exactly what to do next.
Is this you?
STR Unlocked is for you if…
- You already have a short-term rental up and running, whether that's a single listing or a portfolio.
- You manage it yourself, or you work with a co-host or property manager.
- Something feels off, and you'd rather know what it is than keep guessing.
- You're ready to act on three focused recommendations.
It's probably not for you if…
- You haven't launched yet. Come back once you've got a few months of bookings behind you.
- You're looking for someone to make the changes for you.
- You'd rather not look closely at what your business is really telling you.
Hi, I'm Stacey St. John
I've been in short-term rentals since 2020. Today, my team and I manage more than 50 listings for owners all around the country. We've hosted 5,189 guest stays and counting, and we've managed more than $2 million in gross booking revenue in 2026 alone.
Before short-term rentals, I served on the leadership team of a global consulting firm. Reading a business, finding what's holding it back, and deciding what to fix first is work I've been doing for a long time. I left corporate at 48, and I built my own real estate portfolio from $50K to $2M, one decision at a time.
I'm a licensed REALTOR® and a licensed property manager. I'm the Amazon bestselling author of The Co-Host Code and LIVE BIG, and the host of The STR Sisterhood Podcast. I've spoken at industry conferences across the country and to Airbnb's leadership team, and I attended Airbnb's Professional Host Week at Airbnb headquarters.
And here's what I've learned through all of it. A small change in the right place can make a much bigger difference than a whole lot of effort in the wrong place. STR Unlocked is how I help you find that place in your business.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to have ready?
Just your Airbnb listing link, your direct booking website if you have one, and a few minutes to answer the questionnaire. You don't need to prepare anything else.
I don't have a direct booking website. Is this still for me?
Yes. We'll focus on your listing, pricing, numbers, operations, and reviews. If a website makes sense for your business, it may show up in my recommendations.
I work with a co-host or property manager. Does that matter?
Not at all. STR Unlocked looks at how your business is performing, no matter who's handling the day-to-day. You'd find STR Unlocked helpful if you want a clearer picture of how your short-term rental is really doing, or you'd like to go into your next conversation with your co-host or manager with specific questions.
I only have a single listing. Is it worth it?
That's exactly when it matters most. Getting your first short-term rental right is the foundation for everything that comes next.
How is this different from free advice in Facebook groups?
Facebook groups give you twelve opinions from people who've never seen your listing. STR Unlocked is a review of your business, your listing, your market, and your numbers, with my top three recommendations for you.
How long until I get my review?
Within five business days of receiving your questionnaire.
What if it doesn't help?
If my review doesn't give you at least three specific changes you can make in your business, reply within 7 days and I'll refund your $97.
You don't know what you don't know.
You've invested your money, your time, and a whole lot of energy into your short-term rental. There may be opportunities sitting right in front of you that you just haven't been able to see. Maybe it's something that's costing you money. Maybe it's a way to attract more bookings. Or maybe it's something that would make running your business a whole lot easier.
