Find your Area and Identify Dates

Oftentimes, the most challenging portion of organizing your vacation is choosing where to search, and when. Once the big decisions are hammered out, the rest is simplier and easier.

How Many Bedrooms?

How many family members are planning to share your getaway? Keep in mind that most rental homes list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the home's living room. It is important to figure out what is suitable for the group. Most rental home listings will summarize each one of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

Make a Budget

Many rental properties are marketed with a price range. Confirm the price for your desired stay. It may be at the top end of the range. If several groups or relatives are sharing the cost, make sure that each group understands their obligation and has approved a maximum they are prepared to chip in. Most rental agreements require a single person to be liable for the whole reservation.

Let's Discuss Amenities

Are extras like beach chairs, gas grills, umbrellas, carts or coolers at your disposal and included in your rental charge?

During your Stay

• Take notes of any damage right after you arrive. If you discover wear and tear, or if repairs are needed get in touch with the home manager right away. This can prevent disputes during checkout.
• Ask questions. You could need instructions for a fireplace, TV or jacuzzi. Call your rental manager. They are there to help. A quick phone call eliminates many headaches.
• Don't forget to be a good neighbor. Permanent residents more often than not live within earshot. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by visitors next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best nachos, have a great date night, or the best areas for wildlife?
• Make sure to protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the home locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.

Check Out Time

• Make sure you've packed all of your possessions. Sweep each room in the house for left-behind items. Inspect bath rooms, the garage, cabinets, decks, the pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Be sure to walk through the rental one last time and check for property damage. We suggest walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you feel about your choice? Just about all rental home management companies and rental search sites permit travellers to offer comments. If your rental home and/or property manager was top-notch, they will appreciate your praise. If something was unacceptable and they failed to correct it in a acceptable manner, or if the rental home wasn't as described, you should make it a point in your comments.
