During your Stay

• Photograph on your arrival. Take notes of any damages soon after you arrive. If you discover damages, or if fixes are needed call the home manager without delay.
• Ask questions. If there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the property, house access, pool functions, etc... we advise you ask the rental home manager immediately. A phone call can save hours of trouble.
• Remember to respect your neighbors. Permanent residents most likely live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking rules can make a visit much more relaxing.
• Ask a local. Local people are a fantastic source of recommendations.
• Be sure to protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the vacation home secured while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make sure you've packed all of your personal belongings. Sweep every room in the home for forgotten items. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, porches, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Make sure to walk through the rental home one final time and look for damages. If at all possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property owner present. If the property owner is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you enjoy your vacation? Nearly all rental management company websites request testimonials after your stay is complete. Rental owners and rental managers will thank you for favorable ratings. If something was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or when the vacation rental wasn't as described, you should make it a point in your critique.
