"The place was pristine and very clean. Joy and Eric had lights and AC on for our arrival. The hosts were responsive and checked on us to ensure we had a good stay."
"Super-cute, well-appointed little house ideal for our short visit to see family. Proximate to some of my favorite restaurants and close to most Greensboro attractions. Very friendly and accommodating hosts."

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a furnished short-term rental cost so much more than a 12-month lease?
Short-term furnished rentals include everything: furniture, linens, kitchen equipment, utilities, WiFi, professional cleaning between every stay, and a host who is available to you around the clock. A 12-month unfurnished lease includes none of that. When you add up what you would spend furnishing a home, paying utilities, and cleaning it yourself, the nightly rate on a furnished rental is often comparable or less. Read more in our post Short-Term vs. Long-Term Rental: Which Is Right for You? and our STR Resources page.
I am a travel nurse. Can you hold dates for me in case my contract extends?
We are glad to host travel nurses and appreciate the work you do. We are also running a business, and our calendar is available to all guests equally. We do not hold or block dates without a confirmed, paid Airbnb booking. If you want to extend your stay, please book the additional dates through Airbnb as soon as you know, before another guest books that window. We will not reach out to ask whether you plan to extend. The calendar is always open to you on the same terms as everyone else.
Are your Greensboro Airbnb rentals pet friendly?
Yes. All four short-term rentals welcome pets, with a maximum of 2 pets per stay. A $50 pet fee applies to whole-home rentals and $25 to private rooms at Your Mom's Place. My Sister's House at 1007 Grayland Ave has a fully fenced yard and covered patio, making it the best pick for guests with dogs. Guests traveling with cats must disclose before booking their method for containing cat litter, preventing claw damage to furnishings, and preventing spraying. Undisclosed cats or cats that damage the property will result in additional cleaning and repair charges.
Why does Your Mom's Place require a government-issued ID?
Your Mom's Place consists of private rooms inside our personal home. Because guests sometimes share Airbnb account access with others, we require all guests booking Your Mom's Place to provide a government-issued photo ID before check-in. The name on the booking must match the name on the ID. This is non-negotiable and exists to protect the safety and security of our home.
Is there EV charging available?
Level 1 (standard 120V outlet) EV charging is available at select properties. We do not have Level 2 fast chargers. If EV charging is important to your stay, please confirm availability for the specific property before booking.
Which rentals are closest to UNCG and Cone Health?
All four short-term rentals are in the MidTown corridor within a short drive or bike ride of both UNCG and Cone Health. Library of Ivy and Ellie and Your Mom's Place are the most walkable to UNCG. Please note that Wendover Ave is a busy four-lane road and ambulances pass at all hours given the hospital proximity.
How do I book a short-term furnished rental?
All furnished short-term stays (2 to 89 nights) are reserved exclusively through Airbnb for instant confirmation and secure payment. We do not accept off-platform bookings or direct cash reservations. Browse all listings at airbnb.com/users/show/69001969.
What does the Urban Birdhouse tiny home rent for?
The Urban Birdhouse ADU at 905 B W Wendover Ave is available as a mid-term rental starting at $1,500 per month. Longer stays receive a lower rate. The cleaner services this home with 24 hours notice and at minimum once per month, with no exceptions to that policy. Contact Joy directly for availability and pricing.
What is included with the long-term lease rentals?
Water, trash pickup, landscaping, pest control, and onsite maintenance are all included in the monthly rent. Tenants are responsible for electricity. Standard leases run 12 months. Shorter terms are available at a higher monthly rate.
How do I report a maintenance issue?
Please let us know promptly at joy@joywatsonrealestate.com or (928) 699-8883. We will respond quickly and dispatch from our trusted team of local vendors who know our properties well. Meet the people who care for our homes on the Preferred Vendors page.
Can I request a discount on my Airbnb booking?
Pricing is set through our dynamic pricing software synced directly to Airbnb and reflects what the market supports for a fully furnished, well-maintained, Superhost-rated home with all utilities included. We do not offer additional discounts beyond what is already reflected in the listing. All bookings must go through Airbnb. We do not accept off-platform payments.
