Good Neighbor Pledge for Vacation Rentals

Building A Stronger Industry, One Stay at a Time

At Open Air Homes, we believe that luxury vacation rentals should uplift the neighborhoods they’re in—not disrupt them. As cities around the world face increasing pressure to regulate short-term rentals, we’re leading by example with a commitment to peace, safety, and respect for our neighbors.

How We Stay Ahead of Industry Standards

We Foster Neighbor Relationships

We proactively introduce ourselves to neighbors and establish open lines of communication to ensure mutual understanding and trust.

We Limit Instant Bookings

Most of our homes do not offer “Instant Book” options. Every guest must inquire before booking, allowing us to have intentional conversations and set expectations clearly.

We Prioritize Respect Over Revenue

We only rent to guests who commit to being mindful, respectful neighbors. If someone isn’t a fit, we kindly decline the booking—even if it means losing income.

The Good Neighbor Commitment

Respect the Community

All guests must agree to:

No loud music or noise after 10 PM
Group sizes that match the home’s sleeping capacity
Treating the home and neighborhood as their own

This isn’t just policy—it’s a promise to our community.

A Call to Industry Action

We encourage other vacation rental companies and platforms to join us in creating sustainable, community-positive solutions for short-term rentals. Our Good Neighbor Pledge for Vacation Rentals is designed to go above and beyond the standards of Airbnb and VRBO to ensure the long-term viability of this industry.

Communication, Community, and Connection

Supporting Our Guests, Homeowners, and Neighbors

At Open Air Homes, we prioritize clear communication, authentic relationships, and strong community values.
