Secure Deposit System
Your deposit stays protected until check-in—and you’re covered by our fraud safeguards.
Instead of wiring cash or handing over a check, deposits go through our encrypted payment gateway with bank-level security. Funds sit in a holding account until your host verifies your arrival—meaning your money is safe if a unit becomes unavailable. This matters especially during hurricane season, when weather can unexpectedly change plans.
We verify hosts and listings with local records before they go live, reducing impersonation risks. Guests can review ID and rental documentation in their dashboard before initiating payment. If something doesn’t match—say, a host changes contact details mid-conversation—the system alerts our team before a deposit processes.
Once check-in is confirmed, funds are released to the host automatically. You get an official receipt and a copy of your signed agreement in your secure inbox. This transparency cuts down on misunderstandings and gives peace of mind, whether you’re booking a week or three months.
