During your Stay

• Photograph at your arrival. Record the overall condition of the rental property immediately upon arrival. If you find damage, or if fixes are needed call the home manager without delay.
• If you have any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the property, property access, swimming pool operations, etc... we suggest you ask the rental home manager promptly. A phone call can save several hours of difficulty.
• Don't forget to respect your nearby neighbors. Many times, adjacent households are lived in by permanent residents. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Local people can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best chicken wings, have a great night out, or the best areas for wildlife?
• Make sure that you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

When its Time to Leave

• Make sure you've packed everything. Check drawers, bath cabinets and wardrobes.
• Once everything is out, do a walk-through of the property to make sure that no property damage occurred in the course of your stay. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (this may not be possible).. If the property owner is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your getaway? Many property management companies and vacation rental websites permit customers to provide reviews. If your vacation rental and/or property manager was excellent, they will appreciate your praise. If anything went wrong, we suggest being kind but genuine about your experience. The best property owners and managers will try very hard to solve the issue.
