Creating a safer travel experience for guests
Booking a short-term rental shouldn't mean sacrificing peace of mind. But unlike hotels, private rentals aren’t required to follow consistent safety standards. Some lack working smoke detectors. Others don’t have emergency exits or secure locks. And too often, safety issues only come to light after an incident has already happened.
​
Safe-n-Sound (SnS) helps change that—so you can book with confidence.
​
We certify safety at short-term rentals based on adherence to the International Residential Code (IRC), confirming the presence, location, and operation of essential safety systems like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, emergency exits, and monitored access to the property. But we don’t stop there: every safety feature is tracked with a “last confirmed” date, so you always know when it was last tested—no guesswork required.
​
Plus, every certified home includes a digital floor plan, marked safety features, and helpful local safety info—all available through our free guest app. Whether it’s your first STR stay or your fiftieth, SnS gives you the tools to make smart, informed choices—before your book and during your stay.
Core Features
Ongoing Safety Confirmation
Not only has every safety device been verified, and proper bedroom egress confirmed, but the status of every device is continually checked or monitored 24/7 by SnS, so you can book with confidence that all the necessary safety devices are in place and working.
Interactive Floorplans
​
​
Learn about any device in the home from a detailed 3D floorplan. View the status of safety devices, egress details for bedrooms, or pull up instructions for any equipment with a single tap (e.g. TV, thermostat, etc.)
Safety & Access Notifications
Get notified by text or app, if any of the safety systems in the home detect an event (e.g. smoke detected), or if someone else entered the property while you were away.
