Over 30 qualified bookings in under 90 days!

“Before working with Guava Cay Media, our website wasn’t driving real inquiries. Since partnering with them, we’ve seen over 30 qualified booking requests in just a few months, something we were rarely achieving before. Their strategic approach to content, analytics, and conversion completely transformed how guests find and book Seabird Key. They’re more than a media team, they’re a true growth partner.”

85% monthly occupancy After implementing content, ads, and funnel tracking

“Guava Cay Media built The Desert Willow from the ground up; website, content, social media, and paid ads. Within the first three months, we reached 85% monthly occupancy. They don’t just make things look good, they create systems that convert and drive real bookings.”

You’ve done the hard part, securing the rental. Congrats!

We’ve been there ourselves, and we know this phase is where most hosts get stuck.

Most short-term rental owners quickly realize that listing platforms alone aren’t enough to keep calendars full. Competition is high, algorithms change constantly, and standing out requires more than a few good photos.

Strategic photography, video, and social media are no longer optional, they’re what drive discovery, saves, and bookings.

With 12+ years of experience in advertising and digital marketing, we help short-term rental owners turn their properties into scroll-stopping brands that actually convert attention into stays.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You have a beautiful property but struggle to stand out online

  • You post randomly (or not at all)

  • You rely too heavily on Airbnb / VRBO

  • You don’t know what content actually converts

  • You’ve boosted posts but never seen real results

  • You’ve boosted posts but never seen clear booking results

We are here to help

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We’re not influencers, and we’re not real estate photographers. We’re a performance-driven content and marketing studio built specifically for short-term rentals, and we own STRs ourselves. That combination allows us to focus on what actually converts, not just what looks good.

  • Yes. We work with everything from first-time hosts to experienced owners with multiple properties. What matters most is that you’re serious about positioning your rental properly and attracting the right guests, not how long you’ve been hosting.

  • No. While many of the properties we work with fall into the higher-end or design-forward category, our strategies are about storytelling, positioning, and visibility, not price point. If your property offers a strong experience, we can help market it effectively.

  • It depends on your market, seasonality, and level of support. Some clients see increased inquiries within the first month or two, while others build momentum over 90–120 days. Our focus is on creating sustainable visibility and booking pipelines, not short-term spikes that disappear.

  • Ad spend is always paid directly by you through your own Meta (Facebook & Instagram) ad account. We manage the strategy, creative, targeting, testing, and optimization, but you maintain full control and transparency over your budget.

  • We primarily focus on Instagram, Meta (Facebook), and YouTube as they consistently perform best for short-term rentals when paired with strong visuals and proper targeting. Depending on your goals, we may also advise on Pinterest, TikTok or website optimization.

  • Yes. We offer lifestyle photo and video content packages for hands-on hosts who want high-quality assets they can post themselves. All content is created with social and paid ads in mind, so it remains useful long after the shoot.

  • Yes. We work with properties across the U.S. and internationally. Travel logistics and costs are discussed upfront so there are no surprises.

  • We’ll review your property, goals, and current visibility, then recommend the level of support that makes the most sense. There’s no pressure, the call is designed to see if we’re a good fit on both sides.
