CR Stays — Boutique Property Management

Managing a short-term rental successfully requires more than listing it online. It demands strategic positioning, constant oversight, and consistent operational control.

— CR Stays, for property owners

Why CR Stays

Your property deserves
structured
and attentive management

We maintain a small, highly curated portfolio. That means every property receives direct attention, a personalized strategy and constant supervision — we are not a large company where your property is just a number.

Local expertise with real experience

We understand the dynamics of the Costa Rica short-term rental market and make informed decisions for every location.

Direct operational accountability

Hands-on oversight of cleaning, maintenance and guest coordination — no outsourced responsibility.

Structured financial transparency

Clear reporting, organized communication and real visibility into your property's revenue performance.

Long-term asset perspective

We focus on sustainable performance, property condition and reputation management over time.

What we offer

Full-service management,
no exceptions

At CR Stays we go beyond managing bookings. We design and execute a complete strategy to generate better results, maintain your property in excellent condition and operate correctly in an increasingly competitive market.

Revenue Management

Dynamic pricing strategy based on local demand, seasons, events and market behavior. We monitor occupancy, ADR, RevPAR and competitors continuously.

Strategic Positioning & Distribution

Listings designed to convert views into bookings. Optimized titles, descriptions, photos and rate structure across Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo.

Full Guest Care

We accompany guests before, during and after their stay in English and Spanish. Confirmations, check-in, check-out and post-stay follow-up handled professionally.

Claims, Complaints & Damages

We manage difficult situations with guests and platforms to minimize operational, financial and reputational impact. Documentation, follow-up and damage recovery.

Operations, Cleaning & Inspection

Standardized turnover procedures with digital checklists, inventory controls and operational supervision before every guest arrival.

Asset Protection & Maintenance

Periodic inspections, preventive maintenance and coordination of trusted vendors. We report every relevant situation and manage interventions accordingly.

Regulations & Tax Compliance

Guidance on short-term rental obligations: registration, invoicing, VAT, platform reports and coordination with accounting or legal professionals when needed.

Reporting & Financial Transparency

Monthly report with income, bookings, occupancy, average rates, commissions and performance by channel. No hidden information, no unexpected charges.

Cristian

Founder & Director · CR Stays

In 2015, I purchased an apartment in San José and faced the challenge of finding the best way to generate income from it. After exploring traditional rentals without success, I decided to experiment with the short-term rental model.

What started as a solution for one property grew over time into a professional operation. That is how CR Stays was born — since then we have managed more than 35 carefully selected properties, developing strategies to improve their positioning, optimize their income and protect their long-term value.

In 2020, I was selected by Airbnb as an Ambassador in Costa Rica. In 2024, I took over the leadership of the San José host community and joined the Board of Directors of ASOHOST Costa Rica, the Association of Non-Traditional Accommodation Providers, later assuming the presidency of the association.

This experience — as an owner, manager, mentor and industry representative — shaped the CR Stays model: management based on local knowledge, commercial strategy, technology, human care and a rigorously supervised operation.

Management Philosophy

"Solid performance is built on structure, presence and informed decision-making — not shortcuts. Every property we manage is treated as a valuable asset because that is exactly what it is."

Costa Rica is
our territory

Local knowledge

Local knowledge that translates into better decisions

Costa Rica is not a single market. Each area has its own demand patterns, seasons, guest profile and booking behavior. Since 2017 we have managed properties in urban, residential and rural locations — from San José, Escazú and Heredia to mountain destinations and the coast. This local experience allows us to adapt pricing, positioning and operations to the reality of each property. Because to get better results, it is not enough to be in Costa Rica. You have to know the market where each property sits.
