VaultSTR is the independent comparison hub for short-term rental investors. We test, score, and rank the tools, lenders, and platforms that move the numbers — across all 16 categories an STR operator actually uses.
VaultSTR started as a private spreadsheet — one operator comparing PMS platforms, pricing tools, and lenders for a growing portfolio. It grew into the editorial hub for everyone tired of platform-owned content and YouTube hype cycles.

We pride ourselves on delivering excellence, reflected in the high satisfaction of every client.
"Every tool we recommend has been tested by an operator running real listings — not a vendor who wrote us a check."
Where independent research meets operator reality
Built for STR operators, accountable to no platform
Honest methodology. Every ranking shows the criteria, the weighting, and what we tested — so you can decide whether our framework matches yours.
Operator-tested results. We don't recommend tools we haven't run on real listings or pressure-tested with operators managing 5+ properties.
Zero pay-to-play rankings. Affiliate links exist, but they never move a tool up our list. If something's mediocre, we say so.
From your first STR purchase to scaling a multi-property portfolio
VaultSTR exists because the STR market is loud, fragmented, and full of incentives that don't match yours. We built the resource we wanted when we were buying our first listing — clean comparisons, real pricing, and recommendations that aren't paid for.
