Special notes from the agent highlight that this listing is managed by "Good Room Net," which offers a reassuring search experience, especially for first-time renters. Their key points include: no need for a joint guarantor, smooth procedures, online contracts available without a store visit, and the ability to pay initial and monthly fees by credit card (accumulating points that can be used for rent). They cater to individuals, corporations, and corporate housing agencies, offer 24-hour management for peace of mind after moving in, and have no short-term cancellation penalties, making it suitable for those relocating or changing residences.
Two notable campaigns are available. A referral campaign offers a 11,000 yen (tax included) gift if the referred person moves into a property both mediated and managed by the company, or a 5,000 yen QUO card for moves into other company-managed properties (prior referral registration is required). A rent discount campaign offers 5,000 yen off the first rent payment when using a designated credit card for rent payments, with accumulated points also usable for rent.

The Awase area of Okinawa City is a residential district on the east coast of Okinawa Island. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Awase Tidal Flat is a designated Ramsar wetland site, recognized for its rich biodiversity and importance to migratory birds. The closest major tourist attraction is the Okinawa Comprehensive Athletic Park, a large complex featuring stadiums, parks, and the Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum, offering cultural and recreational activities just a short drive away.
