Housemates gathered around a shared table in a Be Nice co-living home

Our co-living community

More than a place to stay.

We run homes, not listings. Real hosts, well-kept houses, and a standard we stand behind.

Why we do it this way

A home has a keeper. A listing just has a lockbox.

Most rentals hand you a code and disappear. We do the opposite. Every Be Nice home is owned or managed by someone who actually lives it. They know the quirks of the house, the best coffee down the street, and your name.

That's the whole idea of community here: not a slogan, but a person you can text, and housemates who make a house feel like somewhere you belong.

How it works

Simple on purpose.

Move-in ready homes

Fully furnished, professionally kept, and set up before you arrive. Just bring your bags.

A real host, a direct line

Text the person who actually runs your home. Questions get answered by a human, not a queue.

Good people, good homes

Co-living with other working professionals in calm, well-run houses that feel like home.

What “community” actually looks like.

Not organized fun. Just the ordinary, good stuff that happens when a house is run well and the people in it actually like being there.

What our guests say

Real words from people who've stayed with us.

“Booking direct was so much easier than the apps. The room matched the photos exactly, and everything really was included. Not one surprise bill the whole time.”
Ava M.Old Bill Cook · Atlanta
“I travel for work and needed a furnished room for a few months. I moved in the same day I asked, and being able to text a real person when I had a question made all the difference.”
Marcus T.Old Bill Cook · Atlanta
“The house is clean, the Wi-Fi is genuinely fast, and my housemates turned out to be great. It feels like a home, not a rental.”
Priya R.Hutchens · Atlanta
“Weekly cleaning kept the common areas spotless the entire time I lived there. Honestly worth it just for that peace of mind.”
Devon K.Hutchens · Atlanta
“We had the whole place to ourselves for a week. Gorgeous, private, and the host checked in without ever being intrusive. We'll definitely be back.”
Carla & JamesWhole-home getaway · St. John's
“Perfect weekend spot for our family. Check-in was easy, the place was spotless, and the price beat what we'd have paid on the big platforms.”
Nate S.Whole-home getaway · Atlanta
“I was nervous about co-living, but this changed my mind. Everyone here respects the shared space, and I've made a couple of real friends out of it.”
Tasha B.Old Bill Cook · Atlanta
“I moved to Atlanta for a new job and didn't know a soul. Having a furnished room ready to go took a huge weight off. All I had to bring was a suitcase.”
Jordan P.Hutchens · Atlanta
“What sold me was the price being exactly what they said up front. No deposit games, no cleaning fee tacked on at the end. Just a fair weekly rate.”
Elise W.Old Bill Cook · Atlanta
“My last place had a management company that never picked up. Here I texted about a leaky faucet on a Sunday and someone came Monday morning. Big difference.”
Andre F.Hutchens · Atlanta

Common questions

What people ask before joining one of our homes.

What's included in the rent?

One flat rate covers everything: utilities (power, water, and gas), fast Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning of the shared spaces, a fully furnished room and home, on-site laundry, and a stocked kitchen. No surprise bills and no add-ons at checkout.

How long can I stay?

Co-living stays are flexible, from about a week up to 90 days. There's a 7-night minimum, so you're free to stay for a short season or settle in for a few months.

How do payments work?

You choose the schedule that suits you — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — and you see every payment and due date up front before you commit. Your first payment is due when you book.

Is there a deposit, and how do I sign?

Yes. A first payment is collected when you book, and your lease is signed online with a simple typed e-signature before you move in. Everything is shown to you clearly before you commit to anything.

Do I need to apply or get screened?

Yes, there's a quick screening before move-in. Because these are shared homes with other working professionals, we keep the process simple but we do check — it's part of how we keep the houses calm and well-run.

Who else lives in the homes?

Working professionals. Co-living here means a private, furnished room in a calm, well-run shared house alongside other adults who want a comfortable, drama-free place to land.

Do I book directly, or through a platform like Airbnb?

You book directly with us, right here on our site — no platform middleman and no markup. The people answering your messages are the same people who own and run the homes.

Where are the homes located?

Across the Southeast United States: Atlanta, Charlotte, Charleston, and Jacksonville, plus a whole-home getaway in Antigua, with more locations opening as we grow. Every home is one we own or manage ourselves, so they all meet the same standard.
