Before you decide to book "The Bird's Nest", review our short checklist of considerations.

The Sooner, The Better

Choose a Village and Time

Oftentimes, the toughest part of planning your vacation is figuring out where to go, and when. As soon as the big decisions are resolved, everything else will be more straightforward.

Bedrooms and Bed Sizes Matter

Determine who is going, and how many/what sort of bedroom arrangement you will need. Bear in mind that most vacation rentals advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the living room space. You will need to determine what is most appropriate for the company. Precise descriptions of bedrooms and beds are typically available online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you reserve the home.

Exactly What Are You Prepared to Spend?

Will the preferred rental property fit your budget during that popular Summer week? If multiple individuals or family members are sharing the cost, always make sure each group knows their obligation and has approved a maximum they are prepared to chip in. Most rental documents call for a single person to be responsible for the whole reservation.

Vacation home Features

What home features is the family trying to find? Do you only desire a home with a swimming pool, hot tub or volleyball court? Does the unit need to be beachfront, in the downtown area, or close to restaurants? Will the rental have bikes and beach toys available for use throughout your stay?
