Hi Kevin. I am disappointed that you did not feel this was a 10/10 experience, esp since we were in regular communication during your stay.

Working in area
Such a beautiful property and community. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It felt like home! The location is perfect as I was working in different clinics. It is close to everything but not noisy. Stephanie was very responsive to our questions and needs. Would definitely want to rent this place again!

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Toland-Mayo
I am an entrepreneur, wife of over 30 years, and mother of 2 fabulous grown sons with growing families. I have been providing short, mid, and long term housing solutions to my neighbors since 2020.
The Azure Elephant Haven honors my mother's memory by opening up the home she loved to all of you. She enjoyed hosting family and friends with game nights, family dinners and holiday celebrations. Since her passing, i couldn't think of a better way to honor her.
Why they chose this property
Why Choose Azure Elephant Haven?
We operate with the wisdom that a temporary home shouldn't feel temporary. When you book with us, you aren't just getting a key code; you are getting a grounded, professionally managed environment where everything works, so you can focus on your assignment.
We understand that our guests are often in transition—whether relocating for a job, managing a project, or visiting family. That transition can be stressful. We designed the "Cool Blue" aesthetic and the "Uncluttered" layout specifically to be the antidote to that stress. This is a home that lowers your heart rate the moment you walk through the door. From the placement of the charging stations to the quality of the blackout curtains, we have thought through the details of your daily routine so you don't have to. You are here to perform at your best; we provide the stage for you to do it.
Unlike open-concept lofts or cramped hotels, our dual-suite layout respects your need for personal space. Whether you are sharing with a colleague or family, the floor plan allows for connection when you want it, and complete privacy when you need it.
What makes this property unique
The "Azure" Experience - You won’t find generic decor here. We offer a curated, immersive aesthetic featuring a calming palette of azure skies and deep grays. Our unique collection of elephant art—symbolizing luck, wisdom, and family bonds—transforms the space into a peaceful gallery that invites you to slow down and breathe.
Rituals of Relaxation - We believe in the power of daily rituals. Whether it’s sipping morning coffee in our sun-drenched living area or enjoying a glass of wine in the private outdoor sanctuary, the property is designed to help you disconnect from the noise and reconnect with your loved ones.
The Peace of Bayberry South - Situated in a prestigious, well-maintained community, we offer a rare combination of accessibility and silence. While we are centrally located in the MOT corridor near dining and transit, our street offers the safety and "trunks up" friendliness of a quiet, active-adult neighborhood. It is the perfect backdrop for a restful escape.
