We will be living abroad until June 2026. We will ask that you water the plants weekly and collect and store any mail that arrives for us.
There are a total of 4 bedrooms in the house. We intend to use one of these bedrooms to store our personal belongings while we travel, so we have listed and priced this as a 3-bedroom rental. However, we're open to storing our belongings externally if adding a 4th bedroom is important.
We are also open to renting our car, a 2022 Rav4 Prime (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) with less than 15,000 miles on it for the duration of the rental.
