Impressed
We submitted our first claim for a table top and handyman services to fix. Both were paid completely in full and did not involve our guests at all. So far, I am extremely satisfied. The only thing I wish they would allow is to have access to their services without a PMS, other than that everything is perfect. Also, Denise was very helpful to me and even called and emailed me several times when I dropped the ball on responding. Very impressive and appreciated.

Safely is an absolutely necessity for anybody that operates a STR Business
Safely is an absolutely necessity for anybody that owns a vacation rental home. As a short term vacation home owner since 2014, with a portfolio of 8 properties, Safely's damage insurance is far more valuable to vacation home owners than anything that is out there. Even though we are covered through Airbnb and Vrbo damage policies, they are difficult to deal with when filing a damage claim. Safely on the other hand, is very owner friendly. Highly recommended!
