During your Stay

• Record the overall condition of the rental home right away. If you discover wear and tear, or if fixes are needed contact the rental manager straight away. If there is a disagreement about responsibility later, having the documented problems and communication attempts should be incredibly helpful.
• Ask questions. You could need instructions for a fireplace, Television set or jacuzzi. Call your home manager. They are there to assist. A phone call can save several hours of trouble.

When its Time to Leave

• Confirm that you've packed everything. Check drawers, bath cabinetry and closets.
• Make a point to walk through the rental home one last time and look for property damage. If at all possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How would you feel about your choice? Virtually all rental sites request testimonials after your stay is complete. Rental owners and property managers will thank you for favorable recommendations. If anything went wrong and they failed to correct it in a practical manner, or when the vacation rental wasn't as described, you will want to note that as part of your critique.
