Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews.
