Establish Your Budget

Check to make sure "Steps to the beach! 3BR/2.5BA Oceanfront condo complex" works with your price range *during your desired dates*.

Let's Talk Amenities

What amenities is the family interested in? Do you simply desire a home with a swimming pool, spa or beach volleyball court? Would you like to be away from it all, or close to a city setting? Are linens included with the rental, or will you need to take your own? Gather a list of prioritized "necessities and wants" from your group to help narrow your search to the perfect home.

Accessability

Optimal access can make or break a trip for the less-mobile. If wheel chair entry, elevators, pool lifts or other special devices are required, include that into your search. The majority of rental home postings include a list of amenities.

During your Stay

• Take pictures on your arrival. Record the condition of the rental home right away. Contact the rental manager immediately to report your observations.

• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a gas fireplace, TV or jacuzzi. Get in touch with your property manager. They are there to assist. A quick phone call eliminates many hassles.
• Remember to respect your neighbors. Permanent residents frequently live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking restrictions can make a stay a little more pleasurable.

• Enjoy your stay! Make sure that you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the property locked up while you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• As soon as your things are all out, begin a walk-through of the rental home to make certain no property damage occurred in the course of your stay. We recommend walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Most property management companies and vacation rental websites allow renters to offer comments. If your rental and/or property manager was top-notch, they will appreciate your positive reviews. If anything went wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the rental wasn't as described, you may want to note that as part of your critique.
