Make the stay worth sharing.
Make the content worth keeping.

STR ToolBox's national U.S. host-to-creator network. A participating host offers an agreed hosted stay, and an independent creator supplies specific property content and publications. Both choose each other and agree before booking.

Hosts and creators aged 18 or older who join Creator Stays with a website account. You may be a host, a creator, or both. No paid app-plan connection is required. A host's higher booking-age requirement must be shown before acceptance.

STR ToolBox charges no separate enrollment, browsing, messaging, matching or per-stay fee. Your Creator Stays website account is separate from paid app subscriptions. Travel, meals, taxes, incidental costs and any host-managed deposit or remedy are separate stay details that must be stated and accepted in advance. No subscription card is automatically authorized for those costs.

No. Hosts select suitable applicants, dates must work for both parties, and every stay requires a completed agreement. An introduction or application is not a booking.

There is no STR ToolBox-wide follower minimum. A host may show a minimum or preference per platform, or No minimum. Content quality, relevant audience, genuine engagement and reliability matter. A strong portfolio can make a smaller creator appealing.

Creator profiles must include direct clickable links to at least two selected accounts. Hosts provide business/property links when available. Review the linked accounts and recent work; nobody should need to search for a person's handle. Counts are self-reported and dated unless an actual verification method exists.

Choose at least two from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest and YouTube Shorts. The host and creator agree the exact accounts and supported formats before confirming. Instagram and Facebook are not compulsory for everyone. No platform substitutions without written mutual agreement.

Yes, under one website account. Choose Both in your profile and explain what you offer in each role. Do not present host experience as proof of creator performance.

After both parties accept the same completed checklist and the host confirms the booking. All material fields must be completed; optional items say None or Not applicable. Each party keeps the terms, checklist and acceptance evidence.

At least one complimentary overnight and the accepted property/inclusions. Normal cleaning is host-covered unless an exact exception is accepted beforehand. Confirm dates, occupancy, check-in/out, amenities, costs and safety/filming restrictions.

They are optional confirmed perks. The offer must specify provider, quantity, value/cap, dates and restrictions. No perk is guaranteed just because it was discussed as an idea. Attraction coverage has additional deliverables agreed in the checklist.

The creator unless the host expressly includes them. The checklist specifies taxes, fees, parking, extra guests and other costs. No surprise charges.

Only with written host approval before arrival and within the accepted occupancy limits. Record any costs. No unapproved parties/events. The pet rule does not override legally protected assistance-animal rights.

The host promptly discloses material changes such as construction, unavailable amenities or access problems. Both parties document their response: revised offer, dates, work or cancellation. Nobody must stay or film in unsafe conditions.

Only through a written amendment accepted by both. Identify the affected dates, guests, benefits, costs, deliverables, rights or deadlines. A host cannot add work after the stay merely because they hoped for more.

Every calendar day from arrival through departure: one distinct edited 45–60-second video, adapted/published to both agreed platforms, plus three separate additional platform-appropriate updates total that day. Their distribution is recorded in the checklist. The daily video cannot also count as one of the three updates.

A normal one-night stay spans arrival and departure days: two distinct daily videos, published to both platforms; six additional updates total; and five distinct edited property photos delivered afterward. The follow-up schedule is additional.

Not automatically. The same original content may be adapted/cross-posted. Agree each format beforehand. A Pin is not a Story; a Short is a video. The three additional updates are not three per platform unless separately agreed.

Five distinct edited property photos per hosted night and the agreed edited daily-video files, within seven days after checkout. The checklist states resolution, file formats, shot list, audio/caption needs, delivery link and exact deadline. Posting a video does not replace delivering its usable file.

For each accepted attraction package, the checklist identifies its dedicated post/video, platforms, deadline and three edited attraction photos. This is additional to property work. Filming permission and ticket limits must be confirmed.

One distinct property-focused content piece each week, published to both agreed platforms: twelve pieces and at least twenty-four platform publications. Both parties fill all twelve dates before acceptance. Stay assets may be reused with new, truthful angles.

Use Jack, templates and supported scheduling/auto-posting where available to your plan/accounts/formats. Check that posts actually publish. A scheduled draft or failed connection is not completed work. Agree a backup publication method directly if needed.

Permanent posts/videos: at least twelve months from each publication date, including later follow-up posts. Stories may expire normally. Explain removals for safety, privacy, rights or platform action promptly and agree a replacement where practical.

Provide delivered files plus working publication links. Save dated screenshots of expiring updates showing content, tags and disclosure. Both sides keep their own records. The host checks the work; STR ToolBox does not verify every publication.

No. Give an honest account of your actual experience. A host cannot require praise, a high score or a positive OTA review, or threaten charges because of an honest negative opinion.

Clearly say the host provided a complimentary stay in exchange for content and identify relevant perks. Make the disclosure easy to see in the publication, including in video/Story content where appropriate. A property tag alone is insufficient. Follow the platform's branded-content rules too. See FTC guidance.

The creator retains copyright. The accepted agreement grants the host ongoing nonexclusive reuse without expiration for social accounts, websites, emails and paid ads, with truthful editing and creator credit. STR ToolBox receives a separate ongoing nonexclusive permission without expiration for its app, website, official channels and program advertising, crediting the creator and property.

They may crop, resize, add captions/branding and combine it into marketing. They cannot misrepresent experience, opinions or endorsement. They tag the creator in social reuse and credit websites/emails where practical. They cannot demand unagreed raw files or exclusivity.

Only if you have permission for the intended use. Social-platform music is not assumed cleared for host paid ads. Supply agreed clean/ad-usable files and identify restrictions. Obtain permission for identifiable people and relevant third-party material.

Obtain permission covering the intended use. Children need parent/guardian permission. Do not publish private information, access codes, security details or prohibited filming areas.

No. Views, followers, inquiries and bookings are not guaranteed. Completing accepted deliverables is the obligation; low reach alone does not justify a charge.

You do. Creators deliver and supply evidence; hosts check it and send missing-work notices directly. Each party handles its reviews. STR ToolBox does not employ staff to chase stays or promise custom monitoring/automatic enforcement.

The host sends a written notice identifying the accepted item, original deadline and evidence. The creator has seven days after documented delivery through the agreed notice method to correct or respond. Future weekly posts are not overdue before their dates.

Only under a lawful process and amounts accepted before the stay. The approved policy allows proportional amounts for work still unfulfilled after the correction period, crediting completed work, within the agreed stay-value maximum. Full value is reserved for complete nonperformance. STR ToolBox neither charges nor guarantees recovery.

At least seven days' notice before check-in: no cancellation charge. Later/no-show amounts and the payer must be accepted beforehand. Documented emergencies and unsafe-property conditions are exceptions to ordinary charges. Host and creator handle booking and cancellation directly.

Notify the other party promptly in writing. Agree replacement content, revised deadlines/dates or cancellation. Do not film in unsafe conditions. A disruption does not silently rewrite the agreement.

Host and creator directly. Claims identify damage and supporting evidence, such as dated photos and estimates. Normal wear is excluded. Follow the deposit/charge procedure accepted before the stay. STR ToolBox supplies no lodging insurance.

No. Discuss the checklist and evidence directly. Obtain independent advice or use mutually agreed mediation/legal remedies if needed. A community report does not determine who owes money.

Within seven days after the initial file-delivery deadline. Read and acknowledge the received review within seven days of release. Record a separate follow-up completion update after week twelve. Save feedback in the shared collaboration record and keep your own copies. Participant-only Keys reviews and read acknowledgments are available in the shared record. Public averages and automatic review release are not provided.

Threats, harassment, knowingly false reports, fabricated evidence and pressure to change honest feedback are prohibited. Submit the conduct and evidence privately through the designated existing reporting route. STR ToolBox reviews community access; an accusation alone is not proof. Substantiated retaliation leads to removal from Creator Stays. Honest criticism or a good-faith report is not automatically retaliation.

Accepted stay duties and granted licenses do not automatically disappear. Complete obligations through your agreed backup contact, or mutually amend them in writing. Your app subscription and Creator Stays website account are separate. STR ToolBox does not impose a new stay charge because you leave.

Open My Creator Stays, create your website account, confirm your email and accept the separate participation agreement. Then create your profile and find and contact your own collaboration partner. We do not provide personal introductions or matching. An application is not a confirmed stay. Use the agreed direct host/creator contact for an accepted stay; report conduct concerns privately to socialmedia@str-toolbox.com, including the relevant profile or offer link.
