Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly available online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book.

Have a Budget

If several groups or relatives are sharing the cost, check to make sure each group knows their obligations and has agreed to a maximum they are willing to contribute. Generally speaking, just one member of the group will be liable for making the full reservation and recovering each family member's share.

Let's Discuss Amenities

During your Stay

• Record the overall condition of the rental home right away. We also suggest immediately getting in touch with the property manager with a report of any damages, along with your request for any necessary fixes. If there is a disagreement about legal liability later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts should be helpful.
• If you have any ambiguity about parking, policies of the house, property access, pool operation, etc... we advise you ask the rental manager promptly. A brief phone call avoids many complications.
• Remember to be a good next-door neighbor. Local people are likely to be as friendly to you as you are considerate of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your primary residence.
• Ask a local. Locals may 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 spots for night life?
• Be sure to protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• Double-check each room of the rental to make sure you've gathered all valuables.
• Once everything is out, begin a walk-through of the rental home to make certain no property damage occurred during your stay. We recommend walking through with the property manager wherever possible (this isn't always the case).. If the property manager is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your trip? Many vacation rental management companies and rental search sites make it easy for renters to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they'll appreciate your recommendations. If anything went wrong, we recommend being understanding but sincere about your rental experience. The best property owners and managers will work very hard to fix the situation.
