A single individual in your group must be in charge of gathering payments and agreeing to responsibility for the whole rental payment at time of reservation.

Let's Discuss Amenities

What amenities is your family looking for? Do you just want a rental with a swimming pool, hot tub or beach volleyball court? Does the unit need to be beachfront, in town, or near night life?

During your Stay

• Ask a local. Residents are a great source of recommendations.
• Don't forget to protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the property locked up when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Check Out Time

• Make sure you've packed all your belongings. Sweep each room in the house for left-behind possessions. Check bath rooms, the garage, cabinets, backyards, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Make a point to walk through the rental one final time and check for property damage. If you can, do this walk-out inspection with the property owner present. If the property owner is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Many rental home management companies and rental search sites allow customers to offer reviews. If the rental and/or property manager was great, they will appreciate your recommendations. If anything was unacceptable and they failed to fix it in a acceptable manner, or when the vacation rental was not as described, you should note that in your critique.
