Choose your Area and Travel Week

Quite often, the most challenging portion of organizing your vacation is figuring out where to search, and when. Once the big decisions are tackled, everything else will be simpler.

How Many Beds?

Confirm who is joining, and just how many/what particular bedroom configuration you need to have. Keep in mind that most rental homes list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the home's living room. You'll need to determine what is acceptable for the group. Generally rental listings will outline each of the unit's specific bedrooms and beds.

Stick to a Budget

Does your preferred rental property suit your budget during that popular Summer week? If a few individuals or family members are sharing the cost, make certain everyone knows their responsibility and has agreed to a maximum they are willing to contribute. Most rental documents call for a single individual to be liable for the entire reservation.

Its All About Amenities

During your Stay

• Take pictures at your arrival. To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any trouble spots of the rental. If you discover property damage, or if fixes are required call the home manager straight away. If there is a disagreement about responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts could be valuable.
• If there is any ambiguity about parking, rules of the house, house access, swimming pool operations, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager promptly. A phone call can save several hours of difficulty.
• Don't forget to respect your nearby neighbors. Permanent residents probably live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking rules can make a visit a lot more enjoyable.
• Ask a local. Locals are a terrific source of recommendations. Who better to ask where to order the best chicken wings, have a great night out, or the best areas for shopping?
• Make sure to protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Check to make sure you've packed all your things. Sweep all the rooms in the home for left-behind possessions. Check bath rooms, the garage, cabinets, backyards, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Make sure to walk through the rental one last time and check for property damage. We advise walking through with the rental manager wherever possible (this may not be possible).. If the property owner is not available, you'll want to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Many property management companies and vacation rental websites permit customers to provide feedback. If the rental home and/or property manager was top notch, they will likely appreciate your recommendations. If anything went wrong, we suggest being understanding but straightforward with regards to your stay. The best owners and managers will try hard to solve the problem.
