02 — Founder property
Chalk Sound · Providenciales
We built DirectStay for our own villa first.
Villa La Percha — living room to screened lounge, Chalk Sound
Villa La Percha is the founders' villa. Before offering DirectStay to anyone else, we built its direct-booking site, guest answers, and inquiry path — the same way we would for your property.
The live site demonstrates accurate stay facts, honest photography, local context, and a calm way for guests to ask about dates directly.

What is changing?
DirectStay's owner offer is now $0 build, $49/month, and no commission.
Is the site public right away?
No. Draft review, content approval, photo rights, and inquiry setup come first. Nothing goes public or bookable without the required approval.
Is DirectStay a property manager?
No. Owners remain responsible for rates, bookings, payments, taxes, refunds, disputes, and guest support unless a future written addendum says otherwise.
