Short-term Rentals
of a Tui Home
At times, Tui Residents are away from Tui for a few weeks or up to several months, seeking either house- or pet-sitting, or offering to rent their Tui Home short-term.
This can provide an excellent opportunity for a quiet personal retreat or for an introductory stay to experience Tui Community living.
Note: Stays longer than 4 weeks require 1/2 day/week volunteer work in the community garden or orchard.

Options for joining Tui Community while renting M'Ocean Song
For stays up to 4 months, you’re welcome to rent the house without joining the intentional Tui community where the property is located.
After 4 months, if you’d like to continue your stay, you can apply for residence and join the Tui community. Alternatively, you are welcome to join the community immediately.
