If you’ve ever been struck by whirlwind wanderlust, you’ll know that last-minute travel can get expensive. Hotel and rental rates often force you back onto the couch at home instead of exploring somewhere new. But Swiftstay is rewriting that narrative.

The travel company chose Raleigh as one of its first destination cities, meaning you can share your apartment, condo, townhome, or house with other vetted members.

The best part — all you pay is a $150 flat-rate cleaning fee + a yearly $300 members fee.

🧳 Where will you travel?

Swiftstay showcases homes available to book up to four weeks in advance. Driving-distance cities include Nashville, Chattanooga, Charleston, Savannah, and more.

Start by applying for membership and submitting your home. (It can be big, small, owned, rented, pet-friendly... the key is that it’s a nice place in a nice spot near the city).

Once interviewed and approved, you’re introduced to the community and gain access to the app. Boom — booked + busy.
