Wonderful Tenants
In March of 2019 we secured tenants for August 2019 to September 2020 in the form of a couple and their dog who were coming to St. John's for one year. They have been wonderful tenants but are sadly returning to the mainland as planned at the end of their year.

They were terrific and so is this site
When I decided to re-list our home because our long-term SabbaticalHomes tenants were leaving, I remembered that I had failed to make a Made a Match Fee! They were terrific and so is this site. Sorry for the delay but thanks so much for this service!

Reflections about the Sharing Economy
For me sharing my house is not a business- it is really more like sharing… I sometimes think how quickly a ‘sharing economy’ concept jumps the fence to become a ‘profit economy’.
Take good care Nadege----- be safe, stay strong and keep the faith on the ‘sharing economy’ you have...

Safe and sound
A couple from Canada with their son stayed for almost 2,5 months in my house in Soria. I understood that they loved it. Unfortunately they had to leave 2 weeks earlier than planned because of the Corona crisis. I was glad to hear that they're home safe and sound.

Thank you
All of our tenants have been academics, all at Yale University in some capacity or other. Thank you for creating SabbaticalHomes.com.

The Perfect Outlet!
I've been hoping for a long-term tenant for my furnished home. I had also wanted a professional to become a tenant, given that would mean reliable rent. SabbaticalHomes was the perfect outlet!
