Free digital guest manual builder
Build your complete digital guest manual for free
StayPerk gives vacation rental hosts and property managers a full guest manual editor with secure autosave, photos, short videos, custom sections, and live Mobile and Letter previews. Build first and create an account when you are ready to claim the draft, or sign up first and begin inside your account.
Quick answer
Build and preview a complete digital guest manual for free in the full StayPerk editor. Start without an account or create your free account first, then publish when ready.
Who this is for
Hosts creating a digital guest manual for the first time and wanting to see the real editor before signing up.
Vacation rental operators replacing scattered messages, printed notes, or an outdated PDF with one current guest guide.
Property managers who want to understand the complete editing and publishing workflow before adding properties to an account.
What problem it solves
Guests need one reliable place for arrival, parking, Wi-Fi, house rules, checkout, safety, amenities, and local information.
A blank document still leaves the host to design pages, keep printable and mobile versions aligned, and replace old copies.
Hosts should be able to evaluate the full editing experience without creating an account before they know it fits their property.
How StayPerk helps
The same structured editor supports core sections, unlimited custom sections, photos, short videos, visibility controls, and section ordering.
Live Mobile and Letter previews show how the current draft will work as a browser-based guide and printable manual.
A free account claims the private draft and unlocks durable ownership, PDF and print output, publishing, and a permanent guest link and QR code.
Choose either way to start
If you want to try StayPerk first, open the free builder and begin immediately. The private draft autosaves securely while you use the real manual editor. You can create your account after you have added content and reviewed the previews.
If you already know you want to use StayPerk, create a free host account first. Add the property from your account, open its manual, and use the same full editor with ownership and publishing actions already connected to you.
- Build first: open the editor, create and preview the manual, then create a free account to claim the same draft.
- Sign up first: create a free host account, add the property, and build the manual from the authenticated workspace.
Build and preview before signup
This path is useful when you want to see the full product with your own property information before creating an account.
- Choose Create my free manual to open the guest-building workspace. No account or credit card is required to start.
- Enter the property name and address. Select a protected Google address suggestion when available so the formatted address fills correctly.
- Complete the sections that matter for the stay, including check-in, directions, parking, Wi-Fi, rooms, amenities, house rules, safety, local tips, and checkout.
- Add photos or short videos where showing is clearer than writing. Create named custom sections, choose their icons, and arrange the manual around the guest journey.
- Review Public or Private content in the live Mobile and Letter previews. Adjust layout choices and continue editing while the private draft autosaves.
- When the manual is ready to keep, choose Create free account. StayPerk claims the same draft so you do not have to enter it again.
Create an account before you build
This path is useful when you want the property and manual attached to your account from the beginning, or when you are ready to publish as soon as the content is complete.
- Choose Create a free account first and select the Host role.
- Complete account setup and verify your email so StayPerk can protect ownership of the property and its guest information.
- Add the property, open its manual, and enter the same arrival, property, safety, checkout, media, and custom-section content.
- Review the Mobile and Letter versions, confirm public and private visibility, then generate, print, publish, and share when ready.
What you can do before creating an account
The guest-building experience is the full manual editor, not a reduced form. You can work through the manual, save a private server-backed draft, and inspect the result before deciding to sign up.
- Edit every core manual section and create as many named custom sections as the property needs.
- Choose section icons, change order and visibility, and add structured text blocks.
- Upload and reuse photos and short videos in the temporary media libraries.
- Review live Mobile and Letter previews, including Public and Private modes.
- Explore example account workspaces and use the separate full-width QR Studio for browser-generated QR downloads.
Why a free account is required to finish
A verified account gives the property and manual a durable owner. That matters because a guest manual can contain private arrival details, media, access settings, and links that should not belong to an unidentified browser session.
Account ownership also gives StayPerk a stable place to keep the manual for later edits and to create permanent guest-facing output. Creating the account does not add a monthly manual subscription and does not require a credit card.
- Claim and keep the draft as an owned property manual.
- Generate and download the manual PDF or open the print flow.
- Publish the digital manual and receive its permanent guest link and in-property QR code.
- Return from another session to update, duplicate, or manage the manual and its privacy settings.
What to prepare before you begin
You do not need every detail before opening the editor. Start with the information guests ask for most often and add the rest as you review the property.
- Property name and address, check-in and checkout times, parking and entry guidance.
- Wi-Fi details, house rules, emergency contact information, and basic safety notes.
- Instructions for amenities or appliances that commonly cause questions.
- Useful property photos, short instruction videos, and a short list of current local recommendations.
