Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

How many family members are joining your trip? Remember that that most properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the living area. You will need to figure out what is suitable for your family. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually available on the internet. Otherwise, speak to the property manager before you book.

What Are You Prepared to Shell out?

Many rentals are advertised with a price range. Confirm the cost for your desired stay. It may be at the high end of the range. Ensure that you get cost-sharing commitments from company well before booking a pricey rental home. One member of your family must be given the task of getting payments and acknowledging responsibility for the whole rental fee at time of reservation.

Property Amenities

What property features is your group looking for? Is a screened-in deck a necessity? Does the unit need to be beachfront, in the downtown area, or in close proximity to restaurants? Does the rental have bicycles and body boards for use throughout your stay? Gather a list of "needs and preferences" from your company to help narrow your search to the most suitable rental.
