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.

Transient occupancy tax is a city tax on short stays. We collect it with your booking and pay it to the city. The exact rate for this home is in your price breakdown.

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 under 28 nights (Firm): Full refund until 60 days before check-in. 50% refund until 30 days before check-in. No refund after that. 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.

Often yes, depending on the calendar. A stay of 30 nights or more is a tenancy, so it is booked with a CAR lease. Monthly stays start at 30 nights. Occupancy tax ends at 31 nights in Los Angeles and 29 in Palm Springs. Send a request for your dates and we will confirm.

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.
