Stay Jay Manages
Your Rental 24/7

Our Mission: Maximize Client income by applying exceptional rental management skills while providing guests with excellent housekeeping and communication.

With over 15 years of property management experience, Stay Jay is here to help property owners. We manage all aspects of successful short-term rentals from creating a listing that highlights your home’s unique qualities to cleaning to ensuring guests have a seamless and relaxing stay. Stay Jay can also manage plowing, trash removal and landscaping as well as small projects.

We aim to streamline the renting process by consolidating bookings, hosting, and cleaning services into one solution. We establish working relationships with our clients and strive to simplify their rental investment by using our experience to anticipate- and stay in front of, any obstacles that might arise during guests’ stay.

We hold a “Super Host” status on Airbnb with a 100%, fast response rate, and over 100 great reviews.

We can help owners who live locally, out-of-state or even abroad that want to rent their properties to short-term renters but do not wish to invest their time managing listings, maintenance and cleanings.
