Establish who is going, and how many/what kind of bedroom arrangement you should have. Try to remember that many properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the family room. It is important to determine what is suitable for the family.

Stick to a Budget

Will your chosen rental property suit your budget during that choice Summer week? Make sure you get cost-sharing commitments from loved ones well before booking an expensive vacation property. A single individual in your family will have to be in charge of collecting repayments and accepting responsibility for the complete rental price at time of reservation.

Make a List of "Wants" and "Requirements"

What property features is the group searching for? Is a screened-in porch a requirement? Does the unit need to be beachfront, in town, or close to night life?
