When the Party Isn’t Where You Think It Is: A Note to Neighbors of Short-Term Rentals

Living next to a short-term rental can sometimes raise questions. Who are the guests? Are they following the rules? Is everything happening responsibly?

At StellarStay, we completely understand these concerns. In fact, we welcome communication from neighbors because it helps us maintain safe, respectful homes and good relationships within the community.
