Setting Your Property Location

Accurately setting your property's location helps guests find your property and understand the area. Haven uses Google Maps integration to make this process easy.

Setting Location

Navigate to Location section - In your property edit page, find the Location section
Search for your address - Use the Google Maps search box to find your property
Select the correct address - Choose your property from the search results
Verify the pin - Make sure the map pin is in the correct location. Drag it to adjust if needed.
Save - Click save to update your location

How the Public Location Works

Haven automatically derives a guest-friendly location label (e.g. "Coral Bay, VI" or "Tahoe City, CA") from your property address. This label appears on your property page, in search results, emails, and other guest-facing surfaces. You do not need to set it manually — it updates whenever your address changes.

The exact street address is only shown to guests after they have a confirmed booking.

Location Benefits

When setting your location, consider highlighting:

Nearby attractions - Restaurants, beaches, parks, etc.
Transportation - Public transit, airports, highways
Neighborhood features - What makes the area special
Accessibility - How easy it is to get around

Accuracy Matters

Correct location - Helps guests navigate accurately
Nearby search - Guests searching by area will find you
Trust - Accurate information builds guest confidence

Local Guide & Recommendations

The Location & Local Guide section also includes Local recommendations — your curated list of nearby stores, restaurants, things to do, and services. This is different from Guest Offers (Host Co): the Local Guide is free, informational content that helps guests explore the area.

Use Generate recommendations to get AI-suggested places based on your address
Add your own favorites manually — Haven writes blurbs, finds photos, and adds directions
Review and edit before saving — recommendations appear on your property page and in the House Manual
