If multiple groups or loved ones are sharing the cost, make certain each group knows their obligation and has approved a maximum they are willing to chip in. Most rental contracts call for a single individual to be in charge of the full reservation.

Its All About Amenities

What property features is the family interested in? Is a screened-in deck a requirement? Does the unit need to be beach front, downtown, or close to wildlife? Are items like beach chairs, barbecue grills, beach umbrellas, beach carts or coolers available and included in your rental payment? Gather a list of "needs and wants" from your company to help narrow your search to the perfect home.

During your Stay

• Take notes of any property damage soon after you arrive. Contact the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a difference of opinion about responsibility later, having the documented problems and contact attempts will probably be useful.
• When there is any ambiguity about parking, rules of the property, house access, swimming pool operations, etc... we suggest you ask the rental home manager immediately. A phone call can save hours of trouble.
• Make sure to be a good next-door neighbor. More often than not, adjacent residences are lived in by permanent locals. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a trip much more pleasant.
• Ask a local. Local residences can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best nachos, have a great date night, or the best places for wildlife?
• Be sure to protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the vacation home locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make a point to walk through the rental one final time and look for property damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever feasible (this may not be possible).. If the property owner is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your getaway? Just about all rental management companies and rental home sites allow renters to offer comments.
