During your Stay

• Record the condition of the rental property immediately upon arrival. If you discover damages, or if repairs are required get in touch with the home manager straight away. If there is a dispute about responsibility later, having the recorded problems and communication attempts should be incredibly helpful.
• Ask questions. Should there be any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the house, house access, swimming pool operation, etc... we suggest you ask the rental manager immediately. A quick phone call eliminates many head aches.
• Please be respectful of the local community. Residents usually live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay considerably more enjoyable.
• Ask a local. Local people can often point you in the right direction.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental home locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Check to make sure you've packed everything. Inspect drawers, bath cabinets and wardrobes.
• Be sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages. We recommend walking through with the rental manager whenever possible (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you love your rental? Many rental management company sites request comments after your stay is complete. Property owners and rental managers will appreciate your favorable critiques. If something went wrong, we advise being kind but genuine regarding your stay. Top owners and managers will try very hard to fix the problem.

Learn and Improve

Hold a vacation recap meeting with the members of your group. Did everybody have a good time? Ideally everything turned out to be wonderful and you are ready to reserve the rental for next year. If not, you've gained invaluable rental search experience that can help with another search.
