I'm helping travel nurses find furnished rentals, with less guesswork.

Book, pay, and get your deposit back, all in one place.

Finally, one less thing to worry about before your next assignment.

The Plot

Extended stays, made simple.

Extended stays carry a lot of uncertainty: guests wondering if the house and host they see listed are real, hosts wondering who they're handing the keys to. Goldilocks is a booking platform I'm building so both sides know what they're getting.

  • Clear pricing.

    Every fee shown up front. First and last months are prorated, so you only pay for the days you stay.

  • Availability that means available.

    Skip the back and forth. If it says it's available, it's bookable.

  • Not vacation rentals. Not year-long leases.

    Extended stays live somewhere in between, with different needs. Flexibility to extend or cancel is built in.

  • Pay how you want.

    Bank transfer at no extra cost, or card. Your deposit gets returned within a week, without reminding your host.

The Main Characters

For anyone who needs longer than a vacation.

Travel nurses

Where you live for these 13 weeks shapes the whole assignment.

That's why the bed matters. Why the house being clean matters when you walk in at 7:30 in the morning. Why you shouldn't have to argue with anyone about a broken dishwasher.

The Chapters

Three steps. No guessing.

  1. Find a home

    Furnished, for 30 days or more, with clear pricing and utilities included.

  2. Send a request

    Pick your dates and send a request. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing. The host reviews it and confirms.

  3. Sign, pay, move in

    Sign the lease and pay the deposit, all in one place. Your booking is confirmed once that's done.

Hi, I'm Emily.

I was a nurse for 13 years, and then I spent four years hosting people who needed somewhere to live for a few months. Now I'm building Goldilocks.

Goldilocks is just getting started in Wichita. Get a first look while I'm still writing it.
