⚠️ Why You Should Always Consider Travel Insurance Before Booking an Airbnb

⚠️ Why You Should Always Consider Travel Insurance Before Booking an Airbnb

Planning a trip should be exciting — but unexpected events like severe weather, travel disruptions, or personal emergencies can quickly complicate travel plans. Many guests are surprised to learn that Airbnb’s refund policies are not based on whether they can travel, but on whether the reservation location is directly affected by a qualifying disruptive event.

Why Arriving Prepared Matters: A Friendly Guide for a Smooth Stay

Travel days can be busy, and we know guests want a smooth, easy arrival where everything “just works.” However, vacation rentals operate very differently from hotels. Each home is unique, each community has its own expectations, and check-in instructions are tailored specifically for your reservation.

To make your stay seamless, it’s essential to review everything we send you.

Public Disclosure & Statement Regarding Unauthorized Account Access

On January 4, we terminated an employee for unethical behavior. This individual had been working with us remotely from outside the United States and, during his employment, had access to certain partner platforms, vendor systems, and short-term rental accounts as part of his development responsibilities.

Immediately following the termination, we implemented comprehensive security measures, including revoking all known access and rotating credentials across all systems, including our VRBO account.

Every year, January brings a noticeable slowdown across the short-term rental market. While it can feel concerning when calendars aren’t filling as quickly, this dip is both seasonal and predictable—and it’s influenced by a mix of consumer behavior and broader market dynamics.

Why Late Check-Outs Aren’t Always Possible — And How We Still Take Care of Our Guests

At StellarStay, we’re always here to make travel smoother, easier, and more enjoyable. Sometimes a simple request—like checking out late—opens up a helpful conversation about how short-term rentals actually operate behind the scenes.

⚠️ Airbnb’s Review System Is Not Truly Accountable: When a Simple Mistake Exposed a Broken Policy

Airbnb is broken

At StellarStay, we’ve always believed that Airbnb’s success depends on fairness, transparency, and the protection of both guests and hosts. But what happens when Airbnb fails to uphold its own rules—rules designed to ensure trust and authenticity on the platform?

This is our story.

📦 Why StellarStay Doesn’t Allow Mail or Package Deliveries to Our Properties

Why StellarStay Doesn’t Allow Mail or Package Deliveries to Our Properties

At StellarStay, we love making every stay smooth and stress-free — but there’s one area where we have to draw a clear line: mail and package deliveries.

We understand how convenient it might seem to send something ahead of your trip, but allowing mail delivery to vacation rentals creates a surprising number of risks for both guests and property owners. That’s why we don’t allow packages to be sent to any of our properties unless you’ve received explicit permission from our team.
