What is Airbnb co-hosting?
Airbnb’s cohost programme a trusted partner manages a listing day-to-day on your behalf, handling guest communication, pricing, changeovers and anything else you want us to take off your hands.
It is the smarter alternative to a traditional letting agency: you keep full control and transparency, we provide the expertise and the hours.
★★★★★ Could not recommend staying here enough. It was quite possibly the best Airbnb I have ever been to!
What we do as your Cornwall Airbnb co-host
We cover every aspect of your Airbnb operation. Listing creation and optimisation – writing copy that converts and positioning your property for maximum search visibility. Pricing reviewed every single week using both dynamic pricing software, adjusting for local events, seasonal demand and competitor availability. Every guest message handled promptly and warmly, from first enquiry to post-checkout review. Changeover cleaning coordinated with trusted local housekeeping teams. Maintenance issues dealt with through our network of reliable Cornwall contractors.
And with every property we co-host, your guests receive The Secret List, our insider guide to Cornwall built from conversations with Jack Stein, Ashley Palmer-Watts, Candice Brown, Charlie Walters and Cornwall’s finest food producers. No other Airbnb co-host in Cornwall offers anything like it.
Who is Airbnb co-hosting right for?
Co-hosting works particularly well if you own a distinctive Cornwall property – coastal, waterside, architecturally interesting, well-appointed, and want the financial returns without the operational load. It suits owners who live out of county and need a genuinely local presence. It suits owners who are travelling or want to step back from the day-to-day. And it suits owners who want to stay involved in key decisions while handing the execution to people who know what they are doing.
We are selective about which properties we co-host. If your Cornwall property is exceptional, we want to hear from you.
★★★★★ We had a wonderful stay! It was clean and smelt amazing!
Our Cornwall co-hosting fee
15% commission, deducted directly from your Airbnb payouts. No setup fees. No exit penalties. No markups on cleaning or maintenance. Airbnb pays you directly and deducts our co-host fee at source – we don’t need to invoice you or set up a separate payment.
That is significantly below the 22–24% that most Cornwall holiday let agencies charge, and far below the effective cost of national co-hosting operations.
★★★★★ I feel the property has been taken off my hands by someone very proactive, and much more knowledgeable than me.
Built on 30 years of travel technology expertise
Our founder spent 30 years building marketing technology for Google Travel, TUI and EasyJet – understanding exactly how platforms drive bookings, what makes guests choose one property over another, and how to use that knowledge for every property we co-host. We brought that expertise back to Cornwall, where we live and work, and built the co-hosting service we wished existed.
The guest experience no other agency offers
The Secret List is our ongoing series of intimate conversations with Cornwall’s finest chefs, food producers and culinary personalities. Chefs like Jack Stein, Ashley Palmer-Watts, Candice Brown (GB Bake off winner) and producers like Marco Amura from St. Ives Brewery.
For your guests, it becomes the most useful insider guide to Cornwall. Not a generic list of tourist attractions. Personal recommendations from the people who actually know.
For you as an owner, that means guests who feel looked after before they even arrive. Better reviews. Higher return rates. Stronger pricing power throughout the year. No other Airbnb management company in Cornwall offers anything like it. And it comes with every property we manage.
★★★★★ As we only had a short stay we weren’t able to try everything but we’ll be back to work our way through the recommendations and continue to explore what the area has to offer.

How we’re different
Travel tech experts
30 years building marketing technology for Google Travel, TUI, and EasyJet gives us unique insight into what drives bookings – not just property management, but guest psychology and booking behaviour.
Algorithm intelligence
We have real-time visibility into Cornwall’s booking patterns and pricing through our Airbnb partnership and specialist software. Plus we manually review every property weekly so every booking makes financial sense.
You’ll be in great company
You’ll deal directly with us, and we’re ridiculously responsive. Not ‘we aim to respond within 24 hours’ responsive. Actually responsive. Every property we manage gets our full attention. You won’t get lost in our portfolio.
Pricing: No hidden fees. No surprises. Just results.
15% commission – significantly below industry standard 24%+

We focus entirely on what actually moves the needle: property presentation, pricing, responsiveness and making your guests’ experience one they will remember.
And we vet every guest before they book to ensure your lovely home is treated with care and respect. No muddy paws on the sofas here, thank you very much!

Guest reviews
The cottage was absolutely beautiful and made our 5 day stay just perfect. Communication from the point of booking to us checking out was absolutely fantastic and they always came back to us quickly with answers to our questions.
Well what can we say? It’s our second year in a row staying here. Loved it the first time and didn’t want to leave the second. Thanks to nice friendly hosts make the stay worth while.
This was one of the loveliest places my friends and I have stayed. The hosts, were warm, welcoming, thoughtful and generous. The information about the local area was incredibly comprehensive and they were very helpful with other recommendations that made our stay.
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. Nic was especially friendly and so helpful giving us recommendations for fishing trips and places to eat. The welcome book has an abundance of information on beaches to go to, restaurants to visit and hikes you can go on.
Estuary Cottage is a magical place to stay in the beautiful and extremely peaceful hamlet of Point. Nic has thought of absolutely everything to make your stay comfortable.
We had the pleasure of staying at this charming Airbnb cottage for a fabulous weekend getaway, and it exceeded all expectations. The host Nic was incredibly accommodating and responsive, making the booking process seamless and stress-free. Overall, our experience at this Airbnb cottage was nothing short of magical.
What an amazing little cottage in a very beautiful spot, would highly recommend. The hosts were very helpful and gave lots of useful information.
Had a lovely time staying at Stableyard Cottage. Really appreciate the hosts for being so responsive and helpful at all times.
Couldn’t fault it, absolutely stunning views and beautiful location, loved the place, it was extremely clean and just as the pictures showed in the listing, truly amazing break that we needed and Nic was very responsive and reached out to ensure everything was ok. Great tips for places to go…. thanks so very much. Hosts were incredibly attentive and helpful.
Thanks for such a lovely stay. Nothing was too much trouble from recommending takeaways to rescuing us when we lost the key. The location is stunning. The deck and use of paddle board was fabulous. We had 2 young kids and the cottage had everything we needed.
The three of us spent a week in the great very tastefully furnished cottage. It’s just as beautifully depicted and described in the photos. It is located at the estuary and was perfect for us to explore Cornwall. Numerous valuable tips are available directly from the hosts.
Brilliant location with a very short walk into the centre of Marazion for food, drinks and of course the mount. Cottage was wonderfully equipped, finished and furnished. Very comfortable stay and seeing the sea and mount from the bedroom window every morning was awesome! Having a private off road parking space in Marazion is a blessing.
Beautiful home and peaceful surroundings. A place you can breathe and enjoy time with friends and family. Superb hosts, thoughtful and excellent communication. My teen children, swam, kayaked, jumped off the quay, paddle boarded….. and most importantly stayed off their phones!!
Probably the most beautiful place we’ve stayed in the UK. Point is so peaceful and friendly and lots to do – on foot, by paddle board or in the car. Nic was so helpful and sent loads of helpful info and the pack inside the cottage had brilliant recommendations for food and day trips.
Could not recommend staying here enough. It was quite possibly the best AirBnB I have ever been too, will definitely be coming back. If anything the photos don’t do the house and location justice!
A few common questions
What is the difference between Airbnb co-hosting and a traditional holiday let agency?
A traditional holiday let agency takes control of your listing and manages it on their own platforms. There are often restrictions on when you can stay in your own property and contract tie ins and financial penalties to stop you leaving before the contract minimum term. Fees tend to be 20-22% + VAT, bringing those to 24-26.4%.
Airbnb co-hosting has a similar level of service, but from a local expert within a smaller business that genuinely cares about you and your home, unlike the larger agencies where you can easily become ‘another number’. You’ll have a mobile number you can use at any time and can reach us on WhatsApp too. With your Airbnb listing shared, uou can see every booking, every message and every payment in real time (if you want to).
How does Airbnb co-hosting payment work?
Airbnb pays you directly the day after your guest checks in. Our 15% co-host fee is deducted from that payment at source, so you do not need any additional payment arrangements.
Can I still block dates for my own use?
Yes. You can block dates directly in your Airbnb calendar whenever you want to use the property, or we can do this for you. Your personal stays always take priority and there is no restriction on how many nights you block.
What areas of Cornwall do you co-host in?
We co-host across Cornwall — with particular depth around the Fal estuary, Falmouth, Truro, the Roseland, St Mawes, Portscatho, Marazion, Mousehole, St Ives and the wider west Cornwall coast. We are Cornwall-only specialists.
Do you co-host on VRBO or other platforms as well as Airbnb?
We specialise exclusively in Airbnb. Rather than spreading our attention across multiple platforms, we have gone deep on one — understanding the algorithm, the pricing mechanics, the review system and the guest psychology that Airbnb rewards. Our Superhost status and 4.9/5 rating reflects that depth of focus.
Does a co-host handle all guest communication?
We do. From the moment they get in touch, we’re here to quickly answer any questions about your home, the local area and what’s on when they’re visiting.
We’ll be in contact with them leading up to their arrival to whisper local secrets, recommend our favourite scenic walks and eateries, and give them tips on wonderful experiences nearby.
Then we’ll make sure they have settled in well and will be on hand during their stay to ensure they have a wonderful holiday.
Do co-hosts look after cleaning and maintenance?
Yes. We have a network of trusted housekeepers, cleaners and maintenance teams. We inform them of all bookings on your behalf, but leave you to pay their invoices to avoid those unwanted agency mark up fees.
I’m tied into a contract – can you still help?
We can indeed! Get in touch and we’ll explain how you can move to us without breaking contractual agreements or being out of pocket for any early exit fees.
