During your Stay

• Photograph on your arrival. Take notes of any damage right after you arrive. We also suggest immediately phoning the rental manager with a report of any wear and tear, along with your request for any necessary repairs. This can protect against disagreements during checkout.
• When there's any ambiguity about parking, rules of the property, condo access, pool operation, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager immediately. A phone call can save hours of trouble.
• Remember to be a good neighbor. Residents will probably be as friendly to you as you are respectful of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your home.
• Ask a local. Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best pizza, have a great night out, or the best places for shopping?
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure to protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the vacation rental secured while you are away, just like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Tidy up a little bit. Even if you're spending money on a housekeeping fee, The vacation home really should be in very good condition. Sinks full of pots and pans, substantial beach sand on the floors and sticky messes should be addressed before leaving.
• When everything is out, begin a walk-through of the property to confirm no property damage occurred during your remain. We recommend walking through with the rental manager wherever possible (this may not be possible)..
