Damage protection is required for every reservation, regardless of where you booked.
During verification, you will choose one of the following options:

We require damage protection to protect both the guest and the homeowner from the financial risk of accidental damage. Our homes are high-end and contain valuable furnishings and amenities. This helps keep expectations clear, reduces disputes over accidental damage, and allows us to fix issues quickly so the home stays in excellent condition for all guests.
If the primary guest does not complete the Guest Verification, sign the Renters Agreement, and choose either the Damage Waiver or the $3,000 refundable deposit hold, then check-in instructions will not be released.
Interaction with Guests:
We use Yale keyless entry smart door locks and give you space but are available if you have any questions or need anything.
