Designed for trust. Built for ease. Shared with love.
PrivadaKey began in 2023 when our founders grew tired of juggling spreadsheets, group texts, and awkward payment requests. We knew home sharing should feel personal, not transactional. So we built a platform where generosity, privacy, and simplicity come first.
Our Mission
To make sharing your home effortless, trustworthy, and deeply human.
Our Values
Trust Is Everything
Personal connections replace anonymous transactions. Every relationship in our network is built on trust, creating safety through friendship rather than fees.
Generosity Drives Connection
Complimentary sharing is our foundation. Optional contributions support shared costs, but the heart of our community is generous hospitality without expectation.
Control Without Complexity
You choose exactly who can see and book your home. Simple tools give you complete control without overwhelming complexity.
Clear Communication Builds Peace of Mind
No more scattered texts or awkward money conversations. Everything happens in one place with clear, respectful communication.
Design for Warmth and Simplicity
Every interaction should feel warm and human. We eliminate friction and complexity to let genuine connections flourish.
Why PrivadaKey Exists
Traditional vacation rentals treat homes like hotel rooms and relationships like business deals. We believe the most meaningful travel happens when you're welcomed as family, not charged as a customer.
We created PrivadaKey as a trust-first platform where complimentary stays are the norm, optional contributions support shared costs, and every interaction builds lasting friendships within your trusted network.
Our founders experienced firsthand the joy of sharing homes with friends and the frustration of coordinating through spreadsheets and group chats. They knew there had to be a better way—one that preserved the warmth of personal hospitality while adding the convenience of modern technology.
What Makes Us Different
Generosity Over Profit
Most platforms prioritize transactions and fees. We prioritize relationships and generosity, with optional contributions only when hosts choose.
Trust Over Strangers
No anonymous bookings. Every guest comes through personal invitations and trusted connections, creating a safe, welcoming community.
Simplicity Over Complexity
One-click calendar management, automated reminders, and built-in messaging. All the power you need without the overwhelm.
Relationships Over Revenue
Every stay creates opportunities for deeper connections. We measure success by friendships formed, not fees collected.
