This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $40 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



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!

Quiet, private and clean

Everything was as advertised, quiet neighborhood, clean facility and was very private. My wife and I enjoyed the home very much and would defiantly use this home again in the future. In a great location and easy to access and parking was a breeze, we parked next to the yellow house across the street and had the same spot every time.

Good Stay

Great stay! Only complaint is that it could have been a bit cleaner. Dropped something under one of the beds and noticed it’s dirty under there, as well as areas of the bathroom.

What we needed

The place was perfect for our price range. It had everything we needed and the check in and out process was simple. My only recommendation would be for the property manager to begin cooling the unit before guests arrive. AC was set on 78 when we arrived, around 9:30pm, and it took until 4am to cool to 72 (probably because of the humidity). Once it cooled, we were good!
