Early Access Opening 2026

Be the first recommendation every guest sees.

Get featured in front of qualified travelers staying in vacation rentals and boutique hotels in your area — at the exact moment they're deciding where to spend.

Why This Audience Matters

These aren't locals.

JHC guests are travelers — actively spending, planning meals, booking activities, and looking for someone trustworthy to tell them where to go. Most arrive without a plan. That's where you come in.

Common Questions

Things businesses ask us.

How is this different from Google Ads or Yelp?

Google and Yelp put you in front of locals doing general searches. JHC puts you in front of travelers actively planning their stay, while they're sitting in a guest house their host already vetted. You're recommended, not advertised — and that means trust your competitors can't buy.

Do you guarantee a certain number of clicks or bookings?

No, and we'd be skeptical of anyone who does. What we guarantee is qualified placement in front of paying guests at properties in your area. We provide monthly visibility reports so you can track engagement, but you're paying for placement — not performance.

How do you decide who gets to join?

Every applicant is personally reviewed. We look at quality, reviews, fit with our hosts' brands, and whether we'd genuinely recommend you to a guest ourselves. Being a JHC partner is a curation choice, not a transaction.

When does the network officially launch?

We're building the partner network in 2026, with early access partners onboarded first in priority markets (Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Manhattan, and expanding). Joining the waitlist gets you first access in your market.

What if there's no JHC property in my area yet?

We'll still review your application and add you to a market waitlist. When we onboard hosts in your area, you'll be the first partner we contact. Some founding members come in this way — early, then activated when their market opens.

Can I be exclusive in my category?

Trusted Partners receive #1 placement in their category, and we cap the number of partners per category per property to keep recommendations from feeling spammy. Full category exclusivity in a market is available — ask us about it.
