You will need to figure out what is most appropriate for your family. Generally rental listings will describe each of the unit's specific bedrooms and beds.

Determine Your Budget

Most rental properties are marketed with a price range. Determine the cost for your preferred trip. It could be at the top end of the range.

Most rental contracts call for a single individual to be responsible for the full reservation.

Property Amenities

Negotiate

When you have located your dream rental, check to confirm your vacation dates are available.

While not true for all rental homes, many rental owners and property managers will make a deal on rates. If they are hesitant to budge on a highly-desirable week, try getting an additional night. Your best chance of a reduced rate is changing to an off-season week.

Where to Get Help

Make sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend saving the contact's details in your smart phone and wallet.

During your Stay

• To make certain no damages are associated with your stay, make a record of any problem areas of the property. Call the property manager immediately to report your observations.
• You might need instructions for a gas fireplace, Television set or spa. Call your home manager. They are there to assist. A brief phone call eliminates many complications.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Residents frequently live within earshot. 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. Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best pizza, have a great night out, or the best places for night life?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental home secured when you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Checking Out

• Check to make sure you've packed all of your belongings. Sweep all the rooms in the house for forgotten possessions. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, patios, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• Make sure to walk through the rental home one final time and look for damages. If you can, do this walk-out review with the property owner present. If the property manager is not available, you'll want to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your vacation? Most rental home management companies and vacation rental websites make it easy for travellers to offer reviews. If the vacation rental and/or property manager was outstanding, they'll appreciate your compliments. If anything went wrong, we recommend being understanding but genuine with regards to your experience. The best owners and managers will work very hard to solve the situation.

Ideally everything turned out to be wonderful and you are all set to reserve the property for your next vacation.
