Rental Terms

For stays booked directly on wahomesllc.com. Version 2026-10-18.2. Bookings made on Airbnb follow Airbnb's terms.

Booking and payment

• Booking is a request. When you submit it, we place a hold on your card for the full total through Stripe's secure checkout. We never see or store your card number.
• You are charged only if we approve. If we decline, or do not respond within 2 days, the hold is released automatically.
• The total you see before paying includes nightly rates, the cleaning fee and estimated taxes. There are no other fees.
• The person booking must be at least 21, must stay at the home for the whole stay, and is responsible for everyone in their group.
• We may ask for a photo ID that matches the name on the booking before we approve. If we cannot verify a booking, we may decline it and the hold is released.
• The full address and door code are sent after your booking is confirmed.

Cancellation

Our cancellation policy matches Airbnb's Limited policy, with a short window to change your mind.

• Within 24 hours of booking: full refund. If your booking is confirmed 48 hours or less before check-in, you have 2 hours instead. Times count from when we confirm your booking.
• 14 or more days before check-in: full refund.
• 7 to 14 days before check-in: 50% refund of the nights and cleaning fee, plus the tax on them.
• Less than 7 days before check-in: no refund.
• To cancel, use the cancel link in your confirmation email. Refunds go back to your original card, usually within 5 to 10 business days.
• If we have to cancel your stay for a reason on our side, you get a full refund. This does not apply if we end a stay because the house rules were broken (see below).

House rules

• Guests: up to 7 people stay overnight. Only guests listed on the booking may stay.
• No parties or events. This is a quiet residential neighborhood with an HOA.
• Quiet hours: 10 pm to 7 am, indoors and outside.
• No pets. Service animals are welcome. Please tell us when you book.
• No smoking or vaping anywhere inside the home.
• Parking: one spot in the lot, right in front of the house. Any other cars must park on the street, which is very close. Please do not use other residents’ spots in the lot.
• Checkout: 10 am. Put trash in the kitchen bin, leave used towels in the bathroom, and lock the door.

If a party, unregistered guests, a pet or smoking is found, we may end the stay early without a refund, and cleaning or repair costs will be charged as described below.

Damage and extra cleaning

• You are responsible for damage to the home or its contents during your stay, beyond normal wear and tear.
• If something breaks, please tell us right away. Accidents happen, and telling us early helps.
• There is no security deposit. Instead, Stripe securely saves the card you book with.
• If we find damage, missing items, or a need for extra cleaning (for example, smoke or pet hair), we will email you photos and an itemized cost within 3 days of checkout. If we haven't settled it together within 7 days, we will charge those documented costs to your saved card and email you a receipt.
• We never use your saved card for anything else.

Taxes

Virginia and Prince William County require lodging taxes on stays of 30 nights or less. We add an 8% county lodging tax and 6% Virginia sales tax to the nights and cleaning fee. Both are shown before you pay.

Safety, cameras and noise monitoring

We're serious about safety, and also about your privacy. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are installed on both floors, and there is a fire extinguisher in the kitchen.

• No cameras inside, ever.
• Two outdoor cameras (Eufy E30) face outward at the front door and the back entry. They record when they detect motion, and they record audio, so conversations just outside those doors may be picked up.
• One indoor noise monitor, in the kitchen, measures volume levels only. It never records or transmits audio. If it shows sustained loud noise, we may reach out to you.
• Please don't cover, unplug, move or tamper with any of these devices.

Privacy

We use your name, email and phone only to manage your booking, send stay information, and ask for a review after checkout. We don't sell or share your information. Payments are processed by Stripe under its own privacy policy.
