RENTAL AGREEMENT PLUS GUEST VERIFICATION
 
There are two sets of online forms and ID verifications you must complete. Both are easy to fill out quickly.

In addition to the rental agreement you will be asked to complete a third party guest verification. At that time you will also be given the choice between a security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver. This provides both our guests and our property with extra protection.
 
This is done through third-party provider Superhog. Superhog will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. Please take care of both prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.

About the Owner

Hi, I'm Johnny! By day I own a marketing company. By night I am a vacation rental owner. I spent many years in Las Vegas which is where I met my wife. In 2009 we moved to San Diego so she could pursue a master's degree in education. After she graduated we decided to stay and raise kids here on the beach. We had a son on New Year's Eve 2013 and, a little girl in May 2016. So we have our hands full! We love to travel to Big Bear, Hawaii, Las Vegas (to visit family and friends) and Mexico when we're not at home in Carlsbad. Our family spends time in Big Bear frequently and, we love vacation rentals. That's why we decided to buy one. I know what a host should do to create a 5-star guest experience. I've also got great property managers there helping me which means you'll get quality service.
