Four simple steps from renovation to return
Share the details of your renovation project and your timeline. We will understand your needs, location preferences, and how long you expect the work to take.
We find a fully furnished, serviced property in your area so you can stay close to your home, your children's schools, and your daily routine.
Housekeeping, fresh linen, and property maintenance are all included. You focus on your renovation - we take care of the rest.
When your renovation is complete, simply move back into your beautifully transformed home. No long-term commitments.
RenovateStay provides fully managed short-stay homes for homeowners who need somewhere to live during a house extension, renovation, or refurbishment. Unlike long-term rentals, everything is included — Housekeeping Included, fresh linen, and property maintenance. Stays are in monthly renewable blocks, aligned to typical building work timelines.
Whether you're adding a rear extension, doing a full home renovation, undertaking a deep energy retrofit, or refurbishing a vacant property — your family needs somewhere comfortable to stay while the work is done.
RenovateStay is purpose-built for Dublin homeowners who want to stay in their area during building work. Close to your children's schools, your daily commute, and your home — so you can check on progress without disrupting your routine.
Fully managed homes for homeowners mid-renovation
Our managed properties are located in established Dublin neighbourhoods including Rathmines, Ranelagh, and surrounding areas — close to schools, shops, transport links, and the communities our guests already call home.
No - RenovateStay is short-stay managed accommodation, closer in nature to a serviced residence than a traditional rental. Stays are in 3-month blocks, housekeeping and linen are included, and the property is maintained by our team throughout. It is designed specifically as a temporary base during renovation works.
Your stay is arranged in blocks of 3 months. At the end of each block, you may choose to extend for a further 3-month period, subject to availability. If your renovation finishes early, you are not locked into a long commitment. If things run over, you can extend.
RenovateStay is designed for homeowners undertaking renovation or refurbishment works on their primary residence who wish to remain in the same locality during the works.
All properties are fully furnished and equipped for immediate occupation. Housekeeping Included, fresh linen and towels, garden maintenance, and all utilities are included. The monthly fee covers everything - there are no hidden extras.
Proof of ownership of your primary residence, evidence that renovation works are underway or scheduled (planning permission, contracts, or a letter from your builder or architect), photo ID, and proof of current address.
Some properties are pet-friendly. If not shown on the listing, please enquire as the property owner may consider it on a case-by-case basis. A pet deposit may apply.
In most cases, yes — particularly for rear extensions, two-storey extensions, or any work that involves structural changes, roofing, or removing internal walls. The site will be a construction zone with dust, noise, no heating, and potential safety hazards. A short-stay managed home nearby lets your family continue normal life while the work is done.
It depends on the scope. A single-storey rear extension typically takes 12-16 weeks. A two-storey extension can take 20-28 weeks. A full home refurbishment may take 6 months or more. RenovateStay offers 3-month renewable blocks that flex with your builder's timeline.
