House Rules

This property has special local compliance requirements. To finalize your booking, we 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 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.

For security and fraud prevention, all reservations are verified through Truvi, our trusted screening provider. This process may include identity verification, guest history checks, and payment validation. By booking, you agree that your details may be securely shared with Truvi for screening in accordance with their Privacy Policy. Bookings that do not pass screening (status: Rejected) will be canceled.
