During your Stay

• Record the condition of the rental unit immediately upon arrival. We also recommend immediately calling the rental home manager with a report of any damage, together with your request for any needed fixes. If there is a difference of opinion about responsibility later, having the recorded problems and communication attempts could be valuable.
• Ask questions. If there is any ambiguity about parking, rules of the house, house access, swimming pool functions, etc... we suggest you ask the rental home manager immediately. A phone call can save hours of difficulties.
• Remember to be a good neighbor. More often than not, surrounding homes are lived in by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a trip a lot more relaxing.
• Ask a local. Residents can frequently point you in the right direction.
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure that you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the home secured while you are away, exactly like you would at home.

When its Time to Leave

• Always make sure that you've packed everything. Check drawers, bath cabinetry and cabinets.
• When your things are all out, begin a walk-through of the rental home to be certain no damage occurred during your stay. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever feasible (this isn't always the case).. If the property manager is not available, make sure you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you love your stay? Many rental management company web sites request comments after your stay . Property owners and rental managers will appreciate your glowing critiques. If anything went wrong and they didn't correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental was not as described, you'll want to make it a point in your comments.
