Money-saving Tips

• Find the official tourism bureau where you want to travel. Many tourism bureaus will send you promotional tourism guide books with special offers for rental properties, restaurants and attractions. These guides provide a great start to your rental search.
• Willing to change your dates? Off-peak times offer remarkable markdowns.
• Are you a military veteran? Some management companies provide price savings to vets and active-duty forces. Be sure to confirm with property owner to see if your vacationing group is eligible for a special offer.
• Some properties are particularly designed for particular groups of vacationers. Large event homes are best for weddings, wedding receptions and corporate meetings. Some homes cater to beach bums. Other rentals are situated close to night life. Make sure that you prioritize your proximity to the activities and places of interest you are most excited about.
• Give thought to purchasing trip insurance along with your lease contract. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you somewhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay rate, offers vacationers reimbursement of their rental expenses for any missed a result of medical related emergencies or storms, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, like an unforeseen motel stay or extra fuel. Trip insurance might just be a bank account-saver if the unforseen occurs .

Choose your Town and Travel Week

Oftentimes, the most challenging part of preparing for your vacation is deciding where to search, and when. Once the big decisions are resolved, the rest is simplier and easier.

Exactly How Much Vacation rental Do You Actually Need?

Determine who is attending the vacation, and just how many/what sort of bedroom arrangement you need to have. Be aware that a lot of vacation rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the living room. You will need to determine what is suitable for the family. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are usually accessible on the internet. Otherwise, communicate with the property manager before you book.

What Are You Willing to Spend?

Vacation home Amenities

What amenities is the family interested in? Do you primarily want a rental home with a swimming pool, spa or beach volleyball court? Would you like to be away from it all, or close to civilization? Are items like beach chairs, barbecue grills, beach umbrellas, buggies or coolers available and included in your rental fee? Create a list of priority features to guide filter your search.

During your Stay

• Take notes of any damage as soon as you arrive. Call the property manager right away to report your observations. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and communication attempts should be helpful.
• Ask questions. When there's any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the property, condo access, swimming pool functions, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager immediately. A brief phone call helps prevent many hassles.
• Remember to respect your nearby neighbors. Local people will be as friendly to you as you are considerate of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your residence.
• Ask a local. Locals can frequently point you in the right direction.
• Don't forget to protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the vacation rental locked up while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

When its Time to Leave

• Ensure you've packed everything. Check drawers, bath cupboards and closets.
• Make a point to walk through the rental home one final time and check for damages. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible).. If the property owner is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a good time? Most rental property web sites request comments after your stay . Rental owners and property managers will appreciate your glowing recommendations. If anything was disagreeable and they didn't fix it in a acceptable manner, or if the rental home was not as described, you will want to make it a point as part of your comments.

Learn from your Experience

Hold a debrief with the people in your group. Did they like the vacation rental? With a little luck everything was outstanding and you're happy to re-book the same rental for your next vacation. Otherwise, you've gained valuable experience to help with your next search.
