“The host was very kind and attentive, making my stay comfortable throughout.

It's near the beach with a walking path right there, and the surrounding environment is really nice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LiveAnywhere?

LiveAnywhere is Korea's favorite short-term and vacation rental platform, built for extended stays of one week to six months. From trendy studios in Seoul to relaxing beach houses in Jeju, every home comes fully furnished and can be booked in minutes through the LiveAnywhere app.

It works much like Airbnb, but with a structure designed for longer visits: competitive weekly and monthly rates instead of nightly pricing, no repeated cleaning fees, and utilities included in your payment. That's why an extended stay in Korea through LiveAnywhere often costs noticeably less than booking the same period on a nightly platform.

Some listings show a deposit. What is it, and do I get it back?

Some listings include a small security deposit, far smaller than the large lump-sum deposits required by traditional Korean leases. Your deposit is held securely in escrow by LiveAnywhere, not by the host. After checkout, the host checks the property, and once they confirm there are no issues, your deposit is refunded within a maximum of 5 business days.

Is there a good Airbnb alternative for a stay of a week or longer in Sokcho?

LiveAnywhere works well as an Airbnb alternative for anyone staying in Sokcho for a week or more. Rates are structured for longer bookings, not nightly stays, which usually works out cheaper than a night-by-night platform. There are no repeated cleaning fees, utilities are included, and hosts are verified and legally operating.

Can foreigners rent a residence in Sokcho without a Korean guarantor?

No Korean guarantor is required to book a stay in Sokcho on LiveAnywhere. That's built into how the platform works, so you can complete the entire booking online without needing someone to co-sign.
