What's the Emergency?
The Most Common North County Vacation Rental Crises
🌡️
HVAC Out
AC or heat failure with guests in the property. Coastal evenings get cold fast — this is a same-day problem.
Urgent
💧
Plumbing Leak or Backup
Burst pipe, clogged drain, or water pressure failure mid-stay. Water damage escalates in hours.
Urgent
🔑
Lockout
Smart lock failure, lost keycode, or dead battery keeping guests out or trapped. Needs same-hour resolution.
Urgent
📶
Wi-Fi Down
Router reboot didn't work. ISP outage or equipment failure. Guests complaining — same-day reputational issue.
Same-Day
🧹
Turnover Gap
Cleaner no-showed, checkout ran long, or next guest checks in too soon. Property not guest-ready.
Same-Day
⚡
Appliance Failure
Washer, dryer, dishwasher, or oven down mid-stay. Not an emergency but guests expect resolution fast.

Why This Works
Proximity Beats Scale for Real-World Emergencies

3–5 business day response. Automated matching. No context about your property or your guest situation.
