Search Early and Frequently

Choose a Town and Date

Agreement can be difficult between loved ones, but as soon as this tricky part is finished everything will start to fall in place.

Choosing an Properly-Sized Rental

How many family members are joining your trip? Keep in mind that a lot of properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living area. You will need to figure out what is suitable for your group. Generally vacation home listings will summarize each of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattress sizes.

What Are You Willing to Shell out?

Confirm that "Cutest Cottage on the Beach- FREE WIFI and Laundry Included sleeps 5" fits your budget *during your desired dates*. If a few individuals or family members are sharing the cost, ensure everyone knows their obligation and has agreed to a maximum they are willing to chip in. In most cases, just one person in the group will be liable for making the complete reservation and collecting each family member's contribution.

Make a List of "Wants" and "Needs"

What amenities is your group interested in? Is a screened-in porch a requirement? Will the unit need to be beachfront, in the downtown area, or in close proximity to restaurants? Does the property have bikes and beach toys available for use throughout your stay? Make a list of priority features to help narrow your search.

Accessability

Do some people in your crew have special needs? Make sure that you remember and ask about wheelchair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment requirements..

Fido Approved

Best places to Search

Negotiate

During your Stay

• Take pictures on your arrival. Record the condition of the rental home immediately upon arrival. We also suggest immediately getting in touch with the rental manager with a report of any wear and tear, together with your request for any needed fixes. If there is a disagreement about responsibility later, having the documented problems and communication attempts could be helpful.
• When there's any ambiguity about vehicle parking, rules of the property, condo access, pool operation, etc... we suggest you ask the property manager immediately. A quick phone call eliminates many complications.
• Remember to respect your neighbors. Natives should be as friendly to you as you are respectful of them. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking rules can make a trip a little more relaxing.
• Ask a local. Local residences may point you in the right direction.
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the home locked up while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

Leaving Paradise

• Check to make sure you've packed all of your personal belongings. Sweep all the rooms in the home for left-behind items. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, backyards, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Be sure to walk through the rental home one last time and look for property damage. Whenever possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a blast? Many rental property sites request testimonials after your stay is complete. Owners and property managers will appreciate your glowing recommendations. If anything went wrong, we recommend being understanding but straightforward in regards to your rental experience. The best owners and managers will work very hard to rectify the problem.
