About CR Stays
A locally operated property management company dedicated to maximizing the performance of short-term rental properties across Costa Rica.
Built from Real Experience in the Short-Term Rental Market
CR Stays was built from firsthand experience operating and optimizing short-term rental properties in Costa Rica.
After years working directly with property owners and managing listings across multiple platforms, we saw a growing need for professional, transparent, and data-driven property management designed specifically for the short-term rental market.
Our approach combines local market expertise, professional systems, and modern revenue management strategies to transform properties into high-performing income assets while protecting the long-term value of each property.
Deep Knowledge of Costa Rica’s Short-Term Rental Market
With more than a decade of experience working with property owners across Costa Rica, we understand the unique dynamics of operating short-term rentals in different markets — from urban locations like San José and Escazú to emerging destinations in mountain and countryside regions. Each market requires a tailored strategy, from pricing optimization and guest targeting to operational logistics and property oversight.
“When property management is done right, owners gain more than income — they gain peace of mind.”
— Cristian, Founder of CR Stays
Founder Perspective
Cristian - Founder of CR Stays
CR Stays was founded by Cristian, a short-term rental operator and hospitality professional with more than a decade of experience working directly with property owners across Costa Rica.
After years managing properties and optimizing listings across multiple platforms, Cristian saw the need for a more structured and professional approach to short-term rental property management — one that combines local expertise, data-driven pricing strategies, and operational systems designed to protect both revenue and long-term property value.
Today, CR Stays helps property owners transform their homes into high-performing short-term rental assets while removing the operational complexity that comes with managing listings on Airbnb, Booking, and other platforms.
