Home Vetting

Before adding a property to its platform, StayMarquis's curation team inspects it from top to bottom using a checklist of more than 100 points. This review covers design, functionality, and safety aspects, and extends to kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, linens and towels, office spaces, common areas, fireplaces, laundry area, outdoor settings, appliances, systems and utilities, technology, and safety products and equipment.

The Marquis Collection

Within its offerings, StayMarquis distinguishes the Marquis Collection, a set of properties managed and directly supported by the company. According to its presentation, these homes receive an additional level of care and convenience: meticulous inspection, high-quality amenities, professional housekeeping during the stay, and thorough home preparation before guests arrive.

Guest Profile and Types of Stays

The company states that its destinations and services cover business stays, leisure, long-term vacations, family gatherings, last-minute getaways, and quiet retreats. Its catalog includes beachfront properties, pet-friendly homes, lakefront houses and large estates, as well as accommodations geared toward families and adventure travel.

Services for Homeowners

StayMarquis supports homeowners throughout the entire homeownership cycle. Its homeowner services include listing the home for rent, managing it, buying it, renovating it, and administering it. The company presents itself as a partner to the homeowner throughout that full cycle and states that its technology platform and knowledge of the Hamptons market allow it to optimize occupancy and rental pricing.
