Choosing an Properly-Sized Rental home

Determine who is attending the vacation, and how many/what kind of bedroom setup you'll need. Be aware that a lot of rental homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the living area. You will need to figure out what is suitable for the company. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually accessible on the internet. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the home.

Establish Your Budget

Will the preferred rental home suit your budget during that preferred Summer week? If a few groups or family members are sharing the cost, always make sure each group understands their obligation and has approved a maximum they are willing to chip in. Most rental agreements call for a single person to be in charge of the entire reservation.

Let's Talk Amenities

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to make certain that the rental home has everything required. If something is missing, the vacation rental management company might know of similar homes that better fit your style and budget..

During your Stay

• Record the overall condition of the rental home immediately upon arrival. If you find damages, or if fixes are required get in touch with the home manager straight away. If there is a disagreement about legal responsibility later, having the documented problems and contact attempts could be helpful.
• Ask questions. If there is any ambiguity about parking, policies of the house, house access, pool operations, etc... we suggest you ask the rental manager immediately. A brief phone call eliminates many problems.
• Remember to be a good next-door neighbor. . Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your home.
• Ask a local. Locals are a fantastic source of recommendations.
• Make sure to protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the home locked up while you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• Double-check each room of the vacation property to ensure you've gathered all belongings.
• Make sure to walk through the rental one last time and look for property damage. We advise walking through with the rental manager wherever possible (this may not be possible).. If the property owner is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Many rental management companies and rental home sites permit customers to offer comments. If the rental and/or property manager was top notch, they'll appreciate your compliments. If something went wrong, we advise being pleasant but genuine regarding your experience. Top property owners and managers will try hard to correct the problem.
