Make certain to get cost-sharing commitments from family and friends prior to reserving a costly rental home. Most rental agreements call for a single individual to be liable for the entire reservation.

Create a list of "Wishes" and "Necessities"

What property features is your group looking for? Are you looking for a rental home with outdoor dining area? Will the unit need to be oceanfront, in the downtown area, or close to shopping? Are mattress sheets included with the rental contract, or will you need to provide your own? Make a list of priority conveniences to help narrow your search.

Accessibility and Special Things to consider

Occasionally the older generation has problems with stairs. If wheel chair access, elevators, pool lifts or other specialized devices are necessary, include that into your search. Almost all rental listings will include a list of amenities.

During your Stay

• Take pictures on your arrival. Take notes of any damages immediately after you arrive. Contact the rental manager immediately to report your findings. This may protect against disputes during checkout.
• If there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the house, house access, swimming pool operations, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager immediately. A phone call can save hours of difficulty.
• Remember to be a good next-door neighbor. . Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a trip considerably more pleasurable.
• Ask a local. Natives can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best chicken wings, have a great night out, or the best places for night life?
• Make sure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the vacation rental locked up when you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• Check to make sure you've packed everything. Examine drawers, bath cupboards and wardrobes.
• Be sure to walk through the rental home one last time and check for damages. Whenever you can, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, make sure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Nearly all rental web sites seek feedback after your stay is complete. Rental owners and rental managers will thank you for positive critiques. If anything was unsatisfactory and they didn't correct it in a acceptable manner, or when the vacation rental wasn't as described, you will want to make it a point as part of your comments.
