Questions guests ask
Why is this a monthly rental and not a nightly stay?
This home takes stays of 30 nights or more. In California a stay of 30 nights or more is a tenancy, so it follows a different legal framework than a nightly stay.
Do I need to sign a lease?
Yes. Stays of 31 nights or more sign a California Association of Realtors (CAR) rental agreement before check-in. We send the agreement after your request is approved.
Is this an instant booking?
No. Bookings on the Open Air Homes direct site are request to book. We review each request within 24 hours and approve or decline it. Your card is held, not charged, until we approve.
Do I pay occupancy tax?
Transient occupancy tax applies only to shorter stays. Monthly stays start at 30 nights. Occupancy tax ends at 31 nights in Los Angeles and 29 in Palm Springs. Your price breakdown shows whether it applies to your dates.
What is the cancellation policy?
You may cancel without penalty for 24 hours after your reservation is confirmed, if you booked at least 72 hours before check-in. We refund in full, including all fees, within 30 days. Stays of 28 nights or more (Long-term): Full refund until 30 days before check-in. Inside 30 days, the first 30 nights are owed. After check-in, the nights stayed plus 30 more nights are owed, or the rest of the stay if that is fewer. Refunds are a share of the stay price for the nights refunded, plus the matching occupancy tax.
How is booking direct different from booking on Airbnb?
Booking direct removes the guest service fee the big platforms charge, and gives you a direct line to our team. It is the same home and the same standards.
Who manages this home?
Open Air Homes manages it: guest communication, cleaning, maintenance and support during your stay. Open Air Homes, Inc. is a licensed California real estate brokerage, DRE #02164159.
