Stay in the Bay

20/08/2024

At Stay in the Bay, we’re proud to maintain an average rating of 4.89 out of 5 over the past 5 years, thanks to the hard work of our incredible cleaning team, the meticulous landscaping crew, and the reliable contractors who promptly address any issues. While our small spaces are designed to provide short-term accommodations for travelers, they don’t significantly impact the broader housing market. In fact, we’ve contributed over $25,000 in sponsorships to local nonprofits and youth sports programs, reflecting our commitment to supporting the community.

However, we want to inform you about upcoming changes in September. The government is increasing the registration fee from $50 to $500 per location and adding other fees. We hope these new changes won’t affect our community-minded approach. Thank you all for your continued support and shares over the years!

Here's the current reviews for our newly built AirBnB on Brookside !!

I can’t say enough about this place. It is an amazing space with a very responsive host. It is simply beautiful, and spotlessly clean. Fantastic amenities. It was a particular pleasure to sit out on the back deck anf have a coffee with a view of Renwick Brook. Being from Glace Bay I was concerned about the road noise on Brookside St but that was not a problem. The place was amazingly quiet at night. This is now one of my go to spots when I am visiting or on business and I have already recommended it to friends and family visiting the Bay. Simply awesome, Jeff!

One of our favorite reviews!!

We're thrilled to announce that our new Airbnb has been on the market for over a month now, and the response has been phenomenal! With a perfect five out of five stars rating, we couldn't be happier with the feedback from our wonderful guests.

When we designed and built this space, we had one goal in mind: to create the perfect home-away-from-home for short-term rental guests like you. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we're delighted to see that our efforts are paying off.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our local customers for choosing to stay with us. Your support means the world to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to serve you. Here's to many more fantastic stays together!

We have a few spots left for Summer Travel

❌ 0.0% Cancellation rate (by me - and last minute guest cancellation received a full refund because things happen)
⭐️ 4.9 Star Overall rating out of 5
💬 99% Response rate

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Here's to continuous improvement and striving for excellence!

After nearly a year of dedicated effort, our third Airbnb is almost finished! We're in the final stages now, adding our stylish new backsplash from GET TILE and installing sleek floating shelves from John G MacIntosh. The next step? Enhancing the bathroom with shiplap for that flawless finish. Meanwhile, furniture is en route from Schwartz, and we'll be fine-tuning pricing through live testing in the coming weeks to prepare for Summer bookings, opening up availability in the first two weeks of April.

For 2022 - we will be partnering with local community organizations to help them raise funds for their cause. We are pleased to announce that we will be partnering with Lisa Roach-Turnbull and the OVEC Adopt a Family crew.

Starting next week they will be selling tickets on an Autographed Ed Sheeran Guitar.

The Acoustic Guitar measures approximately 38" in length. Hand-signed on a CD cover that has been repurposed as a pick-guard by Ed Sheeran.

This guitar is a display guitar. It is a lower-tier version and is not the same quality as one that a musician would play.

The lot / autograph(s) includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.

Please stay tuned for the official announcement soon!!

Imagine 10 years ago picturing vacationing in a Private residence in the Town of Glace Bay almost like a hotel. Imagine the ability to be close to loved ones who require a Care Givers Support. We are truly blessed to have hosted over 200 families since we have started this business. Was ever visit flawless? Nope! That’s ok because the feedback from our guests allowed for making the next guests experience better. We have been a Super Host for 1+ years, sponsored numerous Sport teams, hosted front line workers during the Pandemic and provided free shelters for those in need. This message is to thank the Community for the continued support. Our goal is to expand into other locations in Glace Bay soon!! Stay Tuned!
