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

Host profile image
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 the Haven is the Logical Choice:
• The Dual-King Advantage: No one draws the short straw. We offer two primary-grade King Suites on opposite wings of the home for maximum privacy.
• Dual Executive Workstations: Stop working from the dining table. Both suites feature dedicated workspaces with ergonomic chairs and high-speed Mesh Wi-Fi designed for seamless Zoom calls.
• Restorative Wellness: A curated "Azure" palette of cool blues and elephant grays, complemented by natural air-purifying Snake and ZZ plants to help you breathe deeper.
• Deep Sleep Protocol: We respect your rest. Enjoy 12-inch hybrid memory foam mattresses, premium linens, and 100% blackout shades in every bedroom—essential for night-shift professionals.
• Premier Location: Located in the prestigious Ponds of Bayberry, you are minutes from local legends like the Dutch Country Farmers Market and Amity Coffee Roasters.
Stay Central. Work Better. Live Well. Join the herd and find your peace at the Haven.

What makes this property unique

"The Dual King Advantage: Adult Comfort Without Hierarchy"
"Stop drawing straws for the smaller room. Unlike standard rentals that offer a single suite and a cramped guest room, we provide two primary-grade King Suites. While the suites vary in size, both feature premium linens and mattresses, ensuring that every adult in your group enjoys the same high standard of sleep recovery and privacy."

"We respect your need for deep work. Both suites are equipped with dedicated executive workstations featuring ergonomic chairs and high-speed Mesh Wi-Fi. This isn't a laptop-on-a-kitchen-table setup; it is a purpose-built hub designed for the traveling engineer, charting nurse, or relocating professional who needs to be productive from Day 1."

"Breathe deeper in a home designed for restoration. We have replaced sterile decor with a 'Living Sanctuary' featuring air-purifying plants, all set against a calming palette of indigo, sapphire, and azure. From the morning ritual at our Amity Roasters coffee station to the evening wine in our private outdoor space, every detail is selected to help you find your peace."
