I need housing for my employees → I have units available

How Kinntide works

Not a listing.
A commitment.

01
Owner commits capacity
Property owners with underperforming seasonal units commit their available capacity over a defined time window at a structured weekly rate. No nightly listings. No Airbnb algorithm.
02
Employer backs the commitment
A local seasonal employer — restaurant, hotel, resort, cleaning company — signs a capacity commitment for their employees. Payment obligation sits at the business level, not the individual employee.
03
Kinntide coordinates
We match supply to demand, structure the contract, track weekly utilization, and manage the financial reporting. Owners see guaranteed income. Employers see housed employees. Everyone wins.

Our story — Kinnakeet, NC

"The problem was never wages.
It was coordination."

Kinntide was born on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina — originally called Kinnakeet. We managed vacation rental properties that were underperforming on Airbnb. Non-oceanfront units. Duplexes. Older inventory that couldn't compete in shoulder season.

Instead of discounting, we made a different call. We approached a local employer whose seasonal employees were struggling to find housing, and structured a direct commitment — the employer backs the housing, we house the employees, the owner gets guaranteed income.

Year one: 70 employees housed across 32 weeks. $204,000 in guaranteed revenue. Zero vacancy. Five-year contract with annual escalation. The model worked — not because of technology, but because of structure.

Kinntide exists to make that structure available to every seasonal market in the country.
