Since the Staycation episode
aired, I’ve seen a 20% increase
in direct inquiries and a 10%
bump in overall bookings. But
the real shift has been in the
quality of guests—they’re more
excited and informed because
they’ve already seen the home
featured on the show. I’ve used
the footage in my Instagram
and TikTok ads, and it’s clearly
helped boost visibility and
engagement.

I wasn’t expecting immediate
results, but within the first 60
days of airing, we generated
over $12,000 in new bookings.
We now run targeted ads
using the Staycation footage,
and our listing views have
nearly doubled. On top of that,
the Staycation team gave us
great ideas—like improving our
outdoor lighting and
simplifying the check-in
process—and even introduced
us to trusted brand partners.
These changes made a
noticeable difference in our
reviews and repeat bookings.

The episode gave us great
exposure, but what really
stood out was the insight.
Staycation encouraged me to
switch to a more hands-on
management company, which
significantly boosted both our
bookings and guest
satisfaction. It’s hard to
quantify the exact impact, but
the experience was absolutely
worth it—and it’s been one of
the smartest moves I’ve made
for my property.

I run a fairly large vacation
rental management company,
and I’ve worked with many
videographers
—but none have offered this
level of content with
distribution. Staycation was a
no-brainer. The footage is
better than anything we’ve
had, and I now use it in all our
social ads. It’s driven real
traffic to our platforms, and
I’ve noticed that the homes
featured in Staycation now
rank higher on Airbnb and
Vrbo.
