Your Property is an Investment. We Treat It That Way.
Welcome to Desired Stays, a different kind of property management company. Founded by us, Phillip and Catia Costa, we started with a simple vision: to provide a level of service and dedication that larger companies simply can't match. As property investors ourselves, we understand the commitment you've made to your home. We believe its management should be a seamless, profitable, and worry-free experience. We're not just your property managers; we're your partners. We are a family owned business that intentionally keeps our portfolio small to ensure your property gets the attention it deserves. Our goal is to help you maximize your revenue, attract the perfect guests, and free you from the day-to-day complexities of short-term rentals.

The Desired Stays Difference:
Quality over Quantity
A Boutique Approach
We intentionally limit the number of properties we manage. This allows us to dedicate significant time to optimizing your listing, adjusting pricing dynamically, and ensuring every detail is perfect. You're not just a number in a large inventory; you're a valued partner.
Data-Driven Performance
We leverage industry-leading data and analytics to inform our strategies. From seasonal pricing to targeted marketing campaigns, every decision is made to place your property in the top % of the Poconos market, maximizing your income and occupancy.
A Partnership Built on Trust
We believe in full transparency and open communication. You'll have a direct line to us—the owners—and receive regular updates on your property's performance. Our success is intrinsically tied to yours.
