Stay Classy Homes Brings Expert Airbnb Management to San Diego Property Owners
When Matt Floyd and Craig Gerulski stayed at their first Airbnb properties in 2018, they didn't just discover a new way to travel. They found their calling. What started as a passion for experiencing destinations like locals evolved into Stay Classy Homes, now one of San Diego's most trusted vacation rental management companies.
A Local Company Built by Real Estate Investors
Stay Classy Homes is a locally owned and operated Airbnb management company based in San Diego, California. We're not a faceless corporation or a franchise operation. We're fellow real estate investors who got into this business because we genuinely love vacation rentals and wanted to help other property owners achieve the same financial freedom we've found.
Our founders left their corporate jobs to commit full time to building something better in the short term rental industry. Today, we manage properties across five states, maintain a dedicated operations team, and have become recognized voices in the Southern California real estate investing community. We've spoken on numerous podcasts and at major investor events throughout the region.
But here's what really matters. We manage every property as if it were our own. That's not marketing speak. That's how we actually operate.
Complete Vacation Rental Management Services
San Diego has plenty of property management companies. What sets Stay Classy Homes apart is our comprehensive approach and genuine commitment to your success.
We Handle Every Detail
Our team takes care of everything from start to finish. Guest screening and communication, check in and check out coordination, cleaning quality control, pricing optimization, emergency maintenance, around the clock concierge service, marketing optimization, and real time owner portal access. When we say full service management, we mean it.
Most property owners come to us because they love the idea of vacation rental income but don't want the headaches. Late night guest calls, coordinating cleaners, handling maintenance emergencies, managing online listings across multiple platforms. It's a lot. We take all of that off your plate so you can enjoy the financial benefits without the operational stress.
Professional Interior Design That Increases Revenue
Here's something most management companies don't think about. How your property looks online directly impacts your revenue. Our interior designer, Kimberly Hixson, specializes in vacation rental properties. She doesn't just make spaces look pretty. She creates environments that photograph beautifully and invite guests to book.
Every home has potential. Kimberly looks for opportunities to add color, character, and style to each room. Then we bring in professional photographers so your listing jumps off the screen. This approach keeps occupancy high, which means more money in your pocket. We're happy to work with any budget to elevate your property above the competition.
Complete Project Management Services
Got a new property that needs furnishing? We've got you covered there too. Our team takes empty spaces and transforms them into rental ready homes. Once the design is approved, we handle all furniture and decor ordering, track shipments, and coordinate with local vendors for painting, wallpaper application, TV mounting, and furniture assembly. You get the finished product without having to manage a dozen different contractors.
Proven Results Across San Diego
Take a look at some of our featured properties and their average nightly rates. The home at 1128 Harmony averages $245 per night. The property at 1144 39th Street pulls in $333 per night. Our listing at 6802 Latham commands $312 per night.
These aren't just numbers. They represent real income for real property owners who trusted us to manage their investments. Our pricing optimization strategy adjusts nightly rates based on seasonality, comparable homes, and market occupancy. This dynamic approach maximizes your revenue while keeping your calendar full.

Why San Diego is Perfect for Vacation Rentals
San Diego is an incredible market for vacation rentals. Beautiful beaches, perfect weather year round, world class attractions like the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, and a thriving food and craft beer scene make our city a top destination for travelers.
As locals, we understand this market intimately. We know which neighborhoods attract which types of guests, how seasonal events impact demand, and what amenities travelers expect in different price ranges. This local expertise translates directly to better results for your property.
We list your home on major platforms including Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, giving you maximum exposure to the thousands of guests searching for their next San Diego vacation home.
Guest Experience Drives Your Success
Here's something we believe deeply. Happy guests lead to great reviews, and great reviews lead to more bookings. It's that simple.
That's why we prioritize the guest experience in everything we do. Our concierge service means guests can reach us anytime during their stay. We coordinate quality cleaning with thorough quality control because cleanliness is the number one driver of five star reviews. We screen guests carefully and communicate clearly so everyone knows what to expect.
When guests have an amazing experience at your property, they leave glowing reviews and often return for future trips. This creates a positive cycle that benefits everyone, especially your bottom line.
Building Financial Freedom Through Vacation Rentals
Matt and Craig got into vacation rentals because they were passionate about reaching financial freedom through real estate investing. They believed vacation rentals offered the best combination of cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits while also allowing them to create memories with family and friends at their investment properties.
Five years later, that passion hasn't dimmed. They're now focused on helping other property owners achieve the same goals through personalized consulting and five star property management.
If you're considering a vacation rental investment in San Diego or already own a property that you'd like to see perform better, we'd love to help you understand what's possible.
