"Have been renting here since 2014 and came down to move out of the space. Met with Michelle who was such a nice person to deal with. The stay here was great with no issues."
"Came down to the property the other day to learn about the vacate process. Michelle was here in the office and helped me threw it. I came back today just to follow up on vacating and she told me she already took care of it and was good to go. Thank you so much for the smooth path of doing this and keeping up the good work here."
"Michele was extremely knowledgeable and kind as I vacated my grandmother’s unit.
She was compassionate as I shared my story and listened with kindness."
"Life storage is the best My locker was open slightly Michelle gave me a call inspected my locker everything was fine thank you Michelle for your Help you’re the best"
"Highly satisfied with our Life Storage experience from start to finish.
Each employee and phone representative was helpful, professional and polite. DeVante got us set up and walked us through the facility, and thru the process, until all of our questions were addressed. Our unit was clean and easily accessible, as he promised it would be.
DeVante was kind and knowledgeable. He should be proud of the way he represented Life Storage-Bay Shore. We are also grateful to Angelina. She also helped us with a courtesy call regarding our unit and improper locking."
"Review of Islip facility on Moffitt Blvd
The Asst Manager , Devante Mcleod couldn’t have been more helpful and assisting His deep commitment to customer service is clearly one of his many strengths , and results in the highest 5 stars I can give this location due to Devante’s valued assistance"
"Reviewing the Bay Shore, NY facility. This is by far one of the nicest storage facilities in our area. I have been a long time customer and I can attest to the fact that this place is always clean and accessible. I would also like to commend Halima Joseph, the store manager. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She has helped me get up and running with my storage unit and made the process completely seamless. She is incredibly helpful and makes owning a storage unit so easy. I never have to worry about the unit knowing she is in charge. From what I understand she has been with this company for 15 years. And I can tell you from personal experience, she is the glue that holds this facility together. Life Storage has a great employee in Halima and they should hold onto her for as long as the can."
"Fantastic place! Halima is the best! So helpful, so professional. We’ve only had good experiences here. Very highly recommend this business and Halima!"
"The two times that I dealt with Halifax has been absolutely enjoyable. She is very professional and courteous and made my renting experience effortless"
"The staff is amazing and extremely helpful!!! The site was always clean and I never had any issues. I felt like my belongings were in good hands. I would use this storage company."
"When I signed up the process was super simple and the front desk lady was very helpful, they did however seem to push for a review that same day which is never a good sign because I haven’t used the service yet at this point.
The issues I have with this Life storage in bayshore is there is never a cart to move your items so your stuck carrying heavy items or you have to bring your own cart, or hunt one down from one of the other buildings.
I got a storage unit to make things easier to store my antiques but so far not much of an improvement."
"Halima made the process flawless. They also recommend a lot more then other storage facilities. I recommend using life storage 100%. Two thumbs way up."
"Every interaction with staff/management was friendly, enjoyable, and they were always looking for ways to give me the best experience. The move in and move out process was effortless, even during a pandemic."
"Very helpful personnel! We selected an indoor storage unit. It was spotless, kept clean, and temperature controlled - never got hot on summer days. Tight security. For a few months, stored my daughter's household items transitioning from college to Touro PA medical school, Bay Shore, NY. Would definitely recommend. She used Life Storage near the University at Buffalo over the summers during college and they were excellent as well. This is a well run company."

"What a great experience today withy the Bay Shore location. I rented a moving van from Life Storage and was greeted with a smile by the very professional manager Halima. She walked me around the van pointing out any scratches or dents (there were only a few small one) and demonstrated how to open and close all doors. Van was clean inside and out and was perfect for the moving I had to do. The facility was spotless and my unit, although in a different Life Storage location, was spotless and clean smelling. This is a great company and I am completely happy and satisfied with their facilities, service and pricing. Thank for everything!!!"
"Halima was extremely helpful in assisting me in finding the right storage unit for my things. She took the time to listen and then outlined what she had and also helped me find the right boxes to that I needed."
"Hatima was the manager the day I rented the moving van in Bayshore...She was so friendly, professional and knowledgeable....The van was perfect. It was super spacious, great on gas, very clean, extremely easy to maneuver....I will be renting the van again from the Bayshore facility and looking forward to having Hatima assist me in making my moving experience more enjoyable...Thank you Hatima ....Lisa M.=M=M=M"

"I went into life storage thinking its going to be like the other storage unit rental place and to my surprise it was nothing like that at all. The person who helped me was Dylan, he answered all my questions, and I had a lot. He is extremely professional and one of a kind help when you need it the most. I was shocked by his vast amount of knowledge and extreme professionalism. Even though I didnt rent from here, anyone I come in contact with that needs a storage unit or any other services they provide I will definitely recommend them to this store a 1,000 times over. Thank you for your amazing customer service and I may see you soon in the near future when I decide to move out for both the uhaul and storage needs."

Thank you

"I've recently have been on the market for a storage unit and have looked around my area. I decided to check out Life Storage on Saxon Ave in Bay Shore. And I have to say hands down they had the best customer service! I spoke with a Manager who answered all of my questions and concerns. They were super polite and I would definitely recommend Life Storage to anyone who needs a storage unit!"
"I have had this Bay Shore storage unit since 2011 maybe 2012 back when it used to be called Uncle Bob's when i decided to move to brooklyn but needed a storage unit asap. I have had no issues over the years. The staff over the years have been very accommodating especially Ms. Halima. She has worked with me when I didn't have it quite together but wanted to keep my account in good standing. And that will always be greatly appreciated. Someone taking the time to work with me knowing I'm not trying to screw them over. Life happens!! And I also thank Mr. Dylan who works there as well for they both were very accommodating as I recently cleaned and cleared out my unit after all of these years. I do hope my new storage unit that's closer to home is just as great with the service as you guys. Thank you very much for the great service over the years!!"
"Service was professional
Young man who helped me was excellent
I feel safe and relieved because of this decision
Young man was a big part of this comfort "
"the gentleman who assisted me was a professional from the beginning to the end. Wonderful service. Clean and secure place. As a result, I recommended my family member to use this storage at another location. Great service. Thanks, J"
"It would be awesome if you considered some kind of discount reward incentive for clients who have rented more than 6 months or a year with good payment history?

"The manager at the Bay Shore store was so sweet. She went above and beyond for me and a friend of mine that I had recommended to use this location. I would never store my things anywhere else!"
"I absolutely love the managers and staff at my location. Wouldn't go anywhere else and always recommend to anyone inquiring about a storage facility. Thank you. "
"I recently forgot to properly lock my unit. I was called by your staff to alert me to the situation. I was very thankful and impressed that they took the time to do that."
"The free moving truck offered as part of the special was never available. It was very misleading advertising on the part of Uncle Bobs [Life Storage]. Something else should have been offered in its place. "
"Ricky was your associate who assisted me. He made the experience quick and easy. He provided me with several options and pointed out the benefits and any drawbacks of each unit.
You are lucky to have him on board."
"I have rented storage at Uncle Bob's for many years, I am very satisfied with every aspect. Both Halima and Ricardo at the Bay Shore facility are great !! They are friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is always clean and well taken care of. I never hesitate to recommend it to others."
"Associate was very helpful and friendly and answered all our questions and concerns and the unit was easily acceptable and clean. And with the added benefit of being able to use the moving truck that was great."
