This property has special local compliance requirements, which include a signed rental agreement and ID verification. A damage waiver of $59 is required for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $3 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. If the damage waiver is not purchased, a refundable security hold of $1,500 is required instead to protect against any damages.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!
