✓ License verified via Nursys✓ Background & credit check via TransUnion SmartMove✓ Assignment contract confirmed with staffing agency✓ Property ownership + condition verified before listing
Every match is verified on both sides before you ever connect.
Why nurses switch from listing platforms
✕You don't know if listings are real
✕You message 10 owners to get one response
✕Availability rarely lines up with your assignment dates
This works differently
✓We verify both sides before you ever connect
✓We match based on your exact assignment timing
✓You only see real, available, verified options
How it works
Simple for owners. Simple for nurses.
No complex contracts. No hidden fees. A verified match every time — for both sides.

$2,800/mo → ~$8,400 total stay
Our fee: $980 (month 1 only) You keep: ~$7,420
Months 2 & 3: paid directly to you
For property owners
Turn vacant weeks into reliable income
Fill off-season gaps with 13-week healthcare stays. Travel nurses are employed, agency-verified, and have a housing stipend already earmarked — making them some of the most reliable tenants you'll ever have.
Example: 2-bed home at $2,800/mo → 13-week stay = ~$8,400 total → Our fee: $980 → You keep $7,420
Typical earnings — Dare County
1-bed furnished$1,600–$2,200/mo
2-bed furnished$2,500–$3,500/mo
3-bed furnished$3,200–$4,500/mo
13-week stay (2-bed)$6,000–$9,000
Our 35% fee applies once on month 1 only — months 2 and 3 are paid to you in full.
✓Consistent income — predictable 13-week cycles, not sporadic vacation bookings
✓Pre-funded tenants — nurses receive a non-taxable housing stipend from their agency
✓Lower wear and tear — nurses work long shifts, rarely home during the day
✓Fully verified — license, identity, credit, criminal and assignment all checked
For travel nurses

FAQ
Common questions
Everything owners and nurses ask before getting started.
Every user and property on Coastal Haven is verified before any introduction is made. For nurses: active license confirmed via Nursys.com, assignment contract verified directly with your staffing agency, government ID checked, and a TransUnion background check completed. For owners: deed or tax record checked, ID matched to ownership, and a full photo walkthrough reviewed. No anonymous listings. No unverified renters. We hold the introduction until verification is complete on both sides.
We connect verified property owners in Dare County with travel nurses on 4–26 week assignments. Owners list their furnished home, we verify both parties, and introduce matched pairs within 48 hours. The lease is signed directly between owner and nurse — we facilitate, not manage.
A 2-bedroom furnished home in Dare County typically earns $2,500–$3,500 per month — $6,000–$9,000 over a standard 13-week assignment. This is 60–80% more than standard long-term rental rates. Our 35% placement fee per booking is deducted once — after that the full rent goes directly to you. Use our earnings calculator to see your specific estimate.
Every nurse is verified through four steps: (1) active license checked on Nursys.com, (2) assignment contract confirmed with their staffing agency, (3) government-issued photo ID verified, and (4) a TransUnion SmartMove background, credit, and eviction check. The nurse pays the SmartMove fee directly — typically $25–$40.
No. As a property owner listing your own home you do not need a real estate license. The lease is signed directly between you and the nurse. Coastal Haven facilitates the introduction and earns a 35% placement fee per booking — we are not acting as your property manager or licensed agent.
Outer Banks Health in Nags Head is the primary facility in Dare County. Travel nurses also work at ECU Health Beaufort County Hospital and other eastern NC facilities within commuting distance.
Generally no — housing stipends are non-taxable if you maintain a tax home. Visit traveltax.com for a detailed guide specific to travel nurses. We recommend consulting a travel nurse tax specialist before your first assignment.
Nothing. Finding and booking housing through Coastal Haven is completely free for nurses. The only cost is the background check fee ($25–$40) paid directly to TransUnion SmartMove as part of verification — standard across all quality housing platforms.
