Welcome to Staystra.com
Now I don’t like to talk about people—but some of y’all are doing the absolute most in these vacation rentals, and somebody needs to say it. Lucky for you, sugarplum, I’ve got the time, the receipts, and the moral obligation.
Welcome to Staystra.com, your new unfiltered front porch for everything happening in the wild world of short-term rentals. I’m Loretta May Jenkins—former church secretary, lifelong gossip, and the reason three HOA boards have blocked me on Facebook. I’m here to bless your inbox with the truth behind the throw pillows.
This ain’t your typical real estate blog, honey. This is where we talk about the real stuff:
- That guest who tried to cook brisket in the Jacuzzi? Covered.
- That host who left 37 passive-aggressive notes around the condo? Exposed.
- That HOA feud that ended in drone surveillance and a restraining order? Baby, I’ve got the court docs.
At Staystra, we’re not just spilling tea—we’re cataloging chaos. Think of us as the petty Yelp for STRs with a moral compass and a magnifying glass. You’ll get:
- Weekly tales of STR absurdity (names changed, drama intact)
- Host horror stories that’ll make you hug your cleaner
- Guest behavior so bad it deserves its own TSA watchlist
- And yes, the occasional redemption arc—because sometimes, people do get it right. (Allegedly.)
If it happens in an Airbnb, Vrbo, or “just a little guest house behind my cousin’s place,” and it smells like drama? I’m on it faster than a Facebook mom can say, “Not in this neighborhood.”
So grab your wine glass, put your security cams on high alert, and subscribe like your future 5-star rating depends on it.
Because if you’ve ever rented a house, cleaned up after someone else’s bachelorette party, or had to explain to a neighbor that no, those weren’t your goats—then darling, this is your people.
Stay tuned. Stay nosy. Staystra.
— Loretta May
