📝 Rental Agreement, ID & Security Deposit Hold
This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement and the booker’s ID verification. Guests are required to either authorize a refundable temporary $500 security deposit hold (not a traditional security deposit, not an actual charge, released if no damage/excessive cleaning), OR opt in for a $45 non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company.
The optional damage waiver is $45 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights.
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 our favorite local spots.
