During your Stay

• Take notes of any problems soon after you arrive. If you discover wear and tear, or if fixes are needed contact the home manager straight away. If there is a disagreement about responsibility later, having the documented problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You could need guidance for a fireplace, Television set or spa. Call your property manager. They are there to assist. A phone call can save several hours of trouble.

• Ask a local. Local residences can often point you in the right direction.
• Make certain to protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the property secured when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make sure you've packed all of your belongings. Sweep every room in the house for left-behind items. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, porches, the pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Be sure to walk through the rental home one final time and check for damages. We recommend walking through with the rental manager wherever possible (this may not be possible).. If the property manager is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you rate your experience? Virtually all rental web sites seek testimonials after your stay is complete. Rental owners and property managers will thank you for glowing critiques. If something was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or when the property wasn't as described, you may want to note that as part of your feedback.

Use Your Experience

Maybe everything turned out to be wonderful and you are all set to reserve the same rental for your next vacation. If the property was not ideal, and you will better recognize how to perfect your search for the next time.
