During your Stay

• Take notes of any damages when you arrive. We also recommend immediately calling the rental home manager with a report of any damage, along with your request for any needed fixes.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, TV or spa tub. Contact your rental manager. They are there to assist. A phone call can save several hours of difficulty.
• Make sure to be a good next-door neighbor. Locals will likely be as friendly to you as you are respectful of them. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking restrictions can make a vacation significantly more enjoyable.
• Ask a local. Residents are a terrific source of tips. Who better to ask where to get the best nachos, have a great date night, or the best spots for night life?
• Enjoy your stay! Be sure to protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental secured when you are away, just like you would in your own home.

Checking Out

• Check to make sure you've packed all of your personal belongings. Sweep every room in the home for forgotten items. Inspect bath rooms, the garage, kitchen cupboards, patios, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your gear might "hide".
• As soon as your things are all out, do a walk-through of the property to be certain no damage occurred in the course of your remain. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (this isn't always the case).. If the property manager is not available, make certain to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a good time? Many rental web sites seek reviews after your stay is complete. Property owners and rental managers will thank you for glowing reviews. If something went wrong, we recommend being understanding but sincere regarding your stay. Top owners and managers will try hard to correct the problem.

Hold a debrief with your family. How did they like the vacation rental? Maybe everything ended up being ideal and you're ready to re-book the same rental for next season. Maybe the rental property was not quite right, and you'll better understand how to improve your search for the next trip.
