Helmstay · for your own place
Guests answered at 2 am from your house guide. Turnovers that confirm themselves. Repairs and late checkouts, one reply away — through your dedicated property line.
A week at your place
Your cleaner, handyman, and guests text your dedicated Helmstay line from their own phones. The messages below are illustrative examples.
I · Turnovers
Every checkout becomes a scheduled clean; your cleaner confirms by text. If she goes quiet, you hear about it before it's a problem.
II · Repairs
Problems are recorded and brought to you for approval. Reply YES to send the job to a handyman already on your property's roster. Handyman cost requests come back for your approval; you agree timing with your crew.
III · Guest requests
Helmstay checks the booking calendar and uses the fee you set. Approve the request and it records the fee and quotes the guest. You handle guest acceptance, payment, and any folio update.

Guest questions get instant answers from your place's real facts. Anything that needs your call becomes an approval waiting in your thread — proactive messages hold for quiet hours (7 am–9 pm, property-local). Real emergencies are pointed to your emergency contact, or 911.
A normal text thread with your dedicated Helmstay number. We help her get started on her own phone. Helmstay handles messages sent to its lines, not your existing personal or group chats.
