  Very cool idea!

  Unfortunately, doesn't look very easy to get into. I'd imagine quite a few people applying to it. So the odds of someone like me getting accepted is probably near the bottom... i.e. Not connected, not a social-media evangelist, no github account, etc.

  This is the fourth year of Startup Workaway. The first three were in Costa Rica, Thailand and Greece. It's a lot of fun and a great way to take a vacation without the "founder guilt" of not working. I'm happy to answer any questions!

  I know these folks. Good people and sure to be a good time - (OP helped me get my first Rails app launched to Heroku when I was a noob and ran into problems) Thanks Greg!

  Awesome! Just sent in my application.

  Curious how you found a house, is it an Airbnb rental? Thinking about organizing a getaway myself this winter.
