A real quote from a person who knows the neighborhood, then a home that's ready before you are.
No calendar grid, no booking fee, no guessing. Here is the whole thing, from the thirty seconds it takes to ask to the day you hand the keys back, and the part most housing companies don't put on their website: what happens in between.
Tell us the shape of your stay. thirty seconds
City or neighborhood, arrival and departure, bedrooms, who's coming (people and pets), and who's paying: you, your company or an insurance carrier. The quote form asks for exactly that; so does a call to 704.392.9977. Adjusters can send the placement sheet instead. There is no calendar grid to fight and no booking fee, because the next step is a person, not an algorithm.
We match you to a home. within a few hours
Someone on our team in Charlotte or Raleigh reads your request and weighs your dates, bedrooms, pets and commute against the communities we work with, then writes back with the two or three homes that fit: photos, the neighborhood, the drive to the office or the hospital or the school, and one monthly number that already includes the furniture, utilities, Wi‑Fi and parking. If you've told us a budget, the options fit inside it. If none quite work, we say so and keep looking rather than sending a list.
Confirm with one click. the paperwork
Your quote comes with a private confirm link. Say yes and we send the lease to sign electronically and set up the billing the way you told us: a card or ACH for you, an invoice to AP for a company, one dated invoice a month against the claim number for a carrier or TPA. When a company or a carrier is paying, the guest never fronts rent. Tax-exempt organizations are handled accordingly, and stays of 90 nights or longer are exempt from North Carolina occupancy tax.
We make the home ready. before you arrive
Bed made, kitchen stocked with cookware and dishes, towels and linens in the closet, washer and dryer in the unit, a sofa you'd actually sit on. Electricity, water, high-speed Wi‑Fi and TV are turned on in advance. You get an arrival note a few days out: how to get in, where to park, where packages go, and the number to call. You bring a suitcase.
Move in. Stay as long as you need. month to month from 30 nights
The lease runs month to month from a 30-night minimum. Extend in place with no new lease and no move; if plans end early, 30 days' notice ends the stay with no penalty. Staying 90 nights or more? Occupancy and sales tax don't apply, so the longer stay can cost less.
The part between the keys and the move-out.
A furnished apartment is easy to sell on the day you move in. The reason companies, carriers and families keep us on file is the ninety days after.
Something isn’t right
Call or text us. We coordinate with the community’s on-site maintenance team, which handles true emergencies (no heat, no water, a leak) around the clock, and we follow up until it’s fixed. If the problem is ours (a missing pan, a Wi‑Fi hiccup), we fix it ourselves.
The dates move
They usually do. An extension is a message to us, not a new lease; the same home, the same invoice, another month. If the project wraps early or the house closes sooner than expected, 30 days’ notice and you’re done.
The assignment changes
A transfer to another campus, a bigger family than planned, a second employee joining the team: tell us and we move you or add a home nearby, and the billing stays with the same contact.
The invoice
One a month, dated and itemized, to whoever you named at the start. No resort fees, cleaning fees or parking fees appear afterward. Companies with several guests can have one consolidated statement.
A person who knows the neighborhood
The same team that wrote your quote is the team you reach during the stay, at the same number. We’re based in Charlotte and Raleigh and have been doing this across the Carolinas since 2010.
Moving out
Tell us the date; we confirm the departure details, what to do with the keys, and the final invoice. That’s it.
What every Stay home comes with.
- Furniture, housewares and linens
- Electricity, water, Wi‑Fi and TV on one invoice
- Washer and dryer in the home
- 30-night minimum, month to month after
- Pets welcome in most communities

It works the same whoever is asking. The details change.
Relocating for work
Start in the neighborhood you think you want; extend month to month while you look; move out the week the house closes.
How it works for you →Corporate programs
Send the traveler’s details or a head count for a team; we place near the site, bill AP, and keep one roster for your program.
How it works for you →Insurance claims
Send the placement sheet; options the same business day where we can; one invoice per month per claim; the family stays put until the house is done.
How it works for you →Clinicians
A 13-week contract fits the minimum; a second contract rolls on in place; bill you, the agency or the hospital.
How it works for you →Quick answers
How fast will I get a quote?
You'll hear from us within a few hours during business hours. Insurance placements with a complete placement sheet can often see options the same business day.
Can I see the apartment before I commit?
You see photos of the actual community and, where we have them, the unit type; most of our community pages carry a gallery. Local guests can often see the community in person before confirming; ask when you get your quote.
Is there a booking fee or a deposit?
No booking fee. Your quote is one monthly number; anything else, including any deposit the lease requires, is spelled out in the quote before you say yes, never after.
What if I need to extend?
Message us. The lease extends month to month in the same home with no new lease and no move.
What if I need to leave early?
Thirty days' notice ends the stay with no penalty.
What if something breaks?
Call or text us. We coordinate with the community’s maintenance team, which handles emergencies around the clock, and we follow up until it is fixed.
