You can book direct with full confidence, or choose Airbnb ()or Vrbo ()if you prefer a familiar platform. Either way, you’ll enjoy the same home, the same amenities, and the same attentive hosting.
Many travelers don't realize that major companies like Airbnb and Vrbo make a substantial profit by charging guests and hosts a percentage of the total booking amount, and that these fees average 15-20% or more. While we happily accept reservations through these platforms, we also want to offer our guests a cost-effective alternative.
Our direct booking option eliminates these fees, which means it will always be the lowest cost option for our guests. Direct bookings from independent hosts also offer many of the same traveler protections as Airbnb, Vrbo, and local property management companies including a rental agreement, optional travel insurance, and secure payment methods.

Great question, and an important one. We’re a verified, long-standing vacation rental with years of five-star stays. You can also find our home listed on Airbnb,(https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/47914828) Vrbo,(https://www.vrbo.com/2157400) Google Vacation Rentals,(https://www.google.com/travel/search?ts=CAESCgoCCAMKAggDEAAaWAo6EjgyFjB4MDoweDQwOTMxYTE3NjZlNTMzODE6HkdvIFlvdXIgT3duIFdhdmUgVmFjYXRpb24gSG9tZRIaEhQKBwjqDxAGGBsSBwjqDxAHGAQYBzICCAEqCQoFOgNVU0QaAA&qs=CAEyKENob1E0SnpJX052eWhkbUdBUm9OTDJjdk1URjRaSGczZWw4NE9CQUM4DUgA&utm_campaign=sharing&utm_medium=link_btn&utm_source=vr) Houfy,(https://www.houfy.com/lodging/go-your-own-wave/63435) and others under the same name, where you’ll see identical photos, descriptions, and guest experiences. And beyond that, I’m always willing to provide proof of ownership or connect by phone or FaceTime so you can be confident you’re talking to the actual homeowner. The direct booking option is simply a way to save on fees—not a replacement for transparency or safety.

No. We offer all-inclusive pricing with our direct booking option, meaning there are no hidden fees bloating the final price at checkout. Your reservation cost includes things like a turnover cleaning, bed linens and bath towels, pool/hot tub service, and even pool heat. Two dogs also stay free.
We strive to provide all the furnishings and household items generally expected in a well-appointed home. Our kitchen includes all standard large appliances, plus many small ones. We also provide all cooking and serving supplies, bath towels, and bed linens, but we do ask that you bring your own beach towels. We also provide everything you need fun day at the beach or poolside. If you're traveling with little ones, we also provide nearly all the gear you'll need.

By providing all of these amenities, we aim to provide an exceptional value to our visiting families.
We will determine this on a case-by-case basis. If you are beyond your cancellation window, we do not allow changes to your reservation.
We hold a $750 refundable security deposit. Depending on your booking method, this will either be a posted charge or a temporary hold on your payment card. After a favorable check-out inspection, the deposit is returned to your payment method as a refund or a hold removal (i.e., your available credit increases) within a few business days. We may hold some or all of the deposit to cover damages (i.e., loss, harm, or expenses) resulting from you, your guests, or pets for things like broken or missing property, extra cleaning costs, and other fees outlined in the rental agreement.
