What is The Joes?
The Joes is a curated platform for midterm stays (30+ days) in high-end, fully furnished homes. Designed for digital nomads, remote workers, and luxury travelers, TheJoes combines hotel-level standards with the freedom of a home.

How is The Joes different from Airbnb or Vrbo?
Unlike short-term rental platforms, The Joes specializes in monthly stays with vetted homes and guests. We prioritize stability, quality, and community — offering a seamless and elevated experience for both travelers and property owners.

Who are "The Joes"?
To be a Joe is to crave more than just a place to stay—it means you're curious, connected, and committed to living like a local, no matter where you land.

How are guests vetted?
All guests undergo a thorough background check and screening process to ensure they align with our values of respect, responsibility, and community-minded living.

How does pricing work?
We offer a simplified model: guests book by the month, and the pricing reflects the value of staying in a high-end home for 30 days, comparable to the cost of a 7-night stay in the same property on traditional short-term platforms.

Are there taxes on my stay?
Nope. One of our core promises is simplicity, and that includes your bill. We only select destinations where there are no transient occupancy taxes on stays of 30 days or longer. What you see is what you pay.

Is there a security deposit?
Nope. We’ve ditched the traditional security deposit in favor of a smarter, more straightforward solution. Instead, every booking includes built-in insurance coverage equal to one month’s rent, so you’re protected without locking up cash. The cost is already factored into the stay and averages about $8 per day for every $10,000 in coverage. Peace of mind, without the red tape.

Can I list my property on The Joes?
Yes, if your home meets our quality and furnishing standards, we’d love to hear from you. All properties undergo a thorough vetting process to ensure they align with our brand.

How does The Joes choose destinations?
We only select destinations with a strong sense of place—places with rich culture, active communities, and that “Narnia Factor” of something special waiting to be discovered. Think art scenes, local food movements, music, history, and neighborhoods with soul.

Are utilities and services included?
Most homes come fully equipped with Wi-Fi, utilities, and essential services. Some may also include housekeeping or concierge add-ons — check the listing details for specifics.

What type of travelers book through The Joes?
We attract professionals, creatives, and adventurers who seek to explore new places without compromising comfort. Most are remote workers, entrepreneurs, or families in the midst of life transitions.

What does "Narnia Factor" mean?
The "Narnia Factor" is our unofficial litmus test for magic. It might be a secret garden behind the house, a rooftop sunset perch, or a community bursting with culture and character. Whether it’s the home or the neighborhood, we look for that extra something you didn’t know you needed.

What happens after I apply to become a Joe?
Once you pay the application fee and pass our background check, you're in. You’ll get access to book homes, insider content, and be part of a growing community of like-minded wanderers.
