Other things to note ✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which may require 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 $39 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. Your guest portal includes upgrades that are optional and include: 🛎️ Early Check-In: Early check-in is sometimes available but not guaranteed. 😴 Late Check-Out: Late check-out is sometimes available but not guaranteed. If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help! **Local residents must have prior approval before booking.
