What “Contact Owner” Means On Stay

Sending an inquiry on Stay is simply a message

When you send an inquiry: you are not booking a stay, not entering payment information, and not committing to anything.
You are telling hosts you are interested, asking if the stay is available and for more details. Hosts reply directly so you can decide what works best.

When you're ready and happy, that's when you book. On your terms.
