We are API integrated through a third party platform, AirBnB allows this. It's just a $200 hold on the card during your stay, and will be released after checkout. You can view this help article and verify that API integrated accounts are able to collect renter agreements and security deposits. I am sorry if this doesn't sit well with you, it's normal business practice with API integrated hosts. https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/140. We are 5* and SuperHost status and it's only a short hold on your card, not a charge. :-) We use a hosting platform (OwnerRez) and require it prior to releasing the door codes.

Great Stay

Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you don’t usually need blankets!

Perfect house and location!

We stayed here (myself, my husband, our 9, 8 and almost 2 year old) for a weekend. It was a great location for the beach, restaurants, the pleasure pier, and Moody Gardens. The house was so lovely, had wonderful amenities and was exactly as described. The communication with our host, Ruth, was wonderful as well. We would definitely stay here again!
