Full-service management that actually covers everything.
Hooray Stays is a locally owned vacation rental and short-term rental property management company based in Katy, Texas. We manage Airbnb, Vrbo and direct-booking rentals for owners in Katy, Houston, Galveston, Crystal Beach and the Bolivar Peninsula, Surfside Beach and Freeport. Owners Matt and Carissa Codd run their own short-term rentals too. Commission starts at 20% of net nightly revenue, with guest consumables, guest screening, smart locks, exterior cameras and daily human pricing included. No call center for owners.
We manage in specific markets where we already have homes, cleaners and vendors. Pick your market to see how we manage there, local rules and what owners ask us. All service areas.
Our home base. Katy-area homes draw relocating families, visiting relatives, youth-sports weekends and longer furnished stays rather than beach vacationers, so we price for length of stay, not just weekends.
Katy property management →Houston demand comes from the Texas Medical Center, NRG Park events, downtown venues, corporate travel and big family groups. We manage Houston homes for those guests, including properties in East Downtown and near NRG.
Houston property management →Galveston Island combines beach vacations, cruise-port traffic and a packed event calendar. We manage West End beach houses and handle the City of Galveston STR registration, local-contact and hotel-tax requirements.
Galveston property management →Large group homes on the Bolivar Peninsula, reached by the free Galveston–Port Bolivar ferry or Highway 124. We manage for drive-on beach crowds, festival weekends and the wear that comes with them.
Crystal Beach & Bolivar property management →A small Brazoria County beach village with loyal Houston-area families and anglers. We manage a large beachfront home here and keep owners compliant with Village registration and the 5% Village hotel tax.
Surfside Beach property management →A working port city next door to Surfside, where fishing crews, Bryan Beach visitors and industrial project workers book differently from beach families. Served by the same team that runs our Surfside Beach home.

Breezeway STRSI certified. Every guest signs a rental agreement and provides photo ID before arrival. Annual human trafficking prevention training. Damage waivers up to $1,500 included.
A human manager optimizes for Gulf Coast seasonality and peak weekends, fills stays through Airbnb, insurance companies, and travel nurse placements, and remarketing directly to past guests. Plus: premium brand products delivered to guests through UpClose Marketing at no cost to anyone.
Full financial visibility. No supply markups. Every dollar accounted for with line-item clarity, every month.
Matt and Carissa own the company and oversee every property, and owners can reach them directly. They invest in short-term rentals themselves, so when you call, you’re talking to someone with actual skin in the game.
A guest broke the living room soundbar during a stay. Because every Hooray Stays property is fully documented at onboarding — every item photographed, catalogued, and matched to a product record — we already had the evidence. We coordinated with the damage waiver, arranged the replacement, and had a brand-new soundbar installed before the next check-in. The owner never heard about it until it was already handled. That’s not a lucky outcome. That’s the system working as designed.
Your first 30 days of management are on us — zero commission. And depending on the agreement you choose, there’s no setup fee either. We handle everything from day one, so you can see exactly what full-service management looks like before you’ve committed to much of anything.
A 15-minute conversation with an owner — not a sales rep — about your property, your goals, and whether we’re the right fit.
We’ll build a custom earning estimate based on your property type, location, and real Gulf Coast demand and seasonality data.
We handle everything — guests, cleaning, pricing, maintenance, compliance, consumables. You get paid by the 5th of every month.
Every property is different — location, bedrooms, amenities, seasonality. Share the details and we’ll come back to you with a real, personalized revenue analysis.
You’ll hear directly from an owner — not a sales team. Usually within one business day.
Expect to hear from us directly within one business day with a personalized analysis for your property. No pressure, no obligation.
