Process

From application to active partner

Every stay — surf homes and villas, bungalows and lodges, hotels and resorts, remote adventure stays and surf charter boats — moves through the same nine-stage path. You always know exactly where you sit.

  1. 01

    APPLICATION SUBMITTED

    You send us your property details. We confirm receipt.

  2. 02

    UNDER REVIEW

    Our partner desk assesses the property or vessel, the surf break and the fit.

  3. 03

    MORE INFO REQUIRED

    If something is missing — photos, capacity, certifications — we come back to you.

  4. 04

    APPROVED TO CONTRACT

    The property is a fit and moves forward to partnership terms.

  5. 05

    You receive the partnership agreement for review.

  6. 06

    AWAITING SIGNATURE

    The agreement is with you and your signer.

  7. 07

    AGREEMENT EXECUTED

    Both sides have signed. The record is locked with a dated audit trail.

  8. 08

    ONBOARDING

    We collect availability, minimum stays, blackout dates and final media.

  9. 09

    READY FOR ACTIVATION

    Everything is in place; the property is queued to go live.

  10. 10

    ACTIVE PARTNER

    Your property is live inventory and visible to our advisors.

Good to know

Land stays and charter boats share one review pipeline; only the details we ask for differ. A property or vessel is only considered live inventory once it reaches ACTIVE PARTNER. Applications can also be waitlisted or declined, and existing partners can be paused if an agreement lapses.

Global Surf Stays is a surf-specific booking marketplace and distribution channel. In the current phase, bookings and payments are completed directly between the guest and the property, coordinated by the travel advisor — there is no checkout or card processing on this site. No fee to apply or list. Partnership terms are provided privately during the approval process.
