FAQ

Elmy Stays specializes in extended-stay furnished accommodations for 90 nights or longer, catering to professionals and travelers seeking flexible living arrangements. As a hospitality management company, we focus on providing high-quality, turnkey living experiences, including property marketing, guest services, and booking management.

Elmy Stays provides interior styling and guest support services, including marketing, guest communication, cleaning coordination, and more. We do not engage in tenant management or lease negotiations. The property owner retains full control, signs the rental agreement directly with the renter, receives all payments, and makes all final decisions regarding the rental. Our role is strictly to support the hospitality experience and promote the property to qualified guests.

There are some similarities between these two types of furnished rental properties, and some homes may qualify for both categories depending on how they are set up.

Leisure Stay Rentals
Leisure stay rentals are typically designed for personal travel, such as families, couples, or groups seeking a temporary furnished residence. Properties targeting this market often include amenities like board games, entertainment systems, pools, or streaming services to enhance the guest experience.

Corporate Rentals
Corporate or professional rentals cater to individuals seeking temporary housing for work or educational purposes. Ideal guests include university professors, travelling nurses, or employees temporarily assigned to local projects. These rentals prioritize amenities that support productivity and convenience, such as high-speed Wi-Fi, dedicated workspace, printers, parking, and mail handling. Booking durations for corporate rentals typically range from 90 nights or longer, depending on the guest’s assignment or project length.

Although these stays are longer than typical leisure stay rentals, they remain temporary accommodations, and guests consider the property a transient furnished residence. Elmy Stays focuses exclusively on hospitality management for these extended-stay rentals. 

Elmy Stays is a local, female-owned company specializing in hospitality management for extended-stay furnished rentals of 90 nights or longer, serving professionals and travelers in the Greater Vancouver Area, White Rock, Fraser Valley, and Kelowna regions.

Interior styling allows your property to stand out and ensures the potential guest see your property in its best possible form. When a property is styled with professional photo, it can really boost up the appeal and encourage guest to choose your home. That being said, if the space is uniquelly designed and memorable, the guest will more likely leave a 5-star review!

Some tips to get you started:

• Do your measurements right

• Put proper size furniture that fits comfortably into the space

• Consider: coziness + functionality + maintenance + quality

• Determine a theme & stay consistent: Bohemian? Mid-Century Modern? Beach Vibe?

• Pair your space up with professional photography, always!

• Let Elmy Stays help you design your space up!
