Joseph Ellen Guest Protection Program. We believe vacation should be about making memories—not worrying about "what ifs." And let's be honest... nobody likes unexpected damage claims.

To help protect both our guests and our homes, all reservations are required to complete the Joseph Ellen Guest Protection Program before check-in.

As part of the simple pre-arrival process, you'll:

Complete a quick guest verification.
Review and electronically sign the Joseph Ellen Rental Agreement.
Choose one of the following protection options:
Damage Waiver: A small non-refundable fee that provides coverage for eligible accidental damage during your stay. This is the most popular option and helps avoid unexpected costs from minor accidents.
Security Deposit: A fully refundable security deposit hold that's released after checkout, provided no damage or policy violations are found.

We'll send you a secure guest portal link before your arrival to complete these quick steps. It only takes a few minutes and helps create a smoother, worry-free experience for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy your stay!
