AvantStay is an American short-term rental property management company based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2017, the company manages vacation rental properties on behalf of third-party owners. As of 2022, the company managed approximately 1,000 properties in the United States.[1]

Business Model

AvantStay operates in the short-term rental market, distinguishing itself from peer-to-peer platforms (such as Airbnb) by managing the logistics chain—including cleaning, maintenance, and concierge services—internally.[1] The company focuses on large-format properties for group travel, utilizing a proprietary operating system to standardize amenities and security monitoring across its portfolio.[2]

In 2022, the company introduced a "PropCo" (property company) financial structure, securing a $500 million investment vehicle to separate its real estate assets from its venture-backed operating company.[3] Industry analysts at PhocusWire noted this structure allowed the company to scale its portfolio without diluting equity, describing it as an "institutional bet" on the professionalization of the vacation rental sector.[4]

History

AvantStay was founded in 2017 by Sean Breuner and Reuben Doetsch.[1] In September 2019, the company became a launch partner for "Homes & Villas by Marriott International," integrating its inventory into the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program.[5]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the company shifted focus toward longer-term stays to adapt to travel restrictions.[1] In 2022, following rapid expansion, the company laid off approximately 22% of its workforce, a move cited by industry observers as part of a broader correction in the tech-enabled real estate market.[6]

In April 2025, the company expanded into the traditional hotel sector with the opening of "The Gilmore" in Nashville, Tennessee.[7]

Funding

In September 2019, the company raised a $20 million Series A round led by 3L Capital, with participation from Bullpen Capital and Shaun White.[8] In December 2021, AvantStay raised $160 million in Series B funding co-led by Tarsadia Investments and 3L Capital.[1]
