In most cases, one member of the group will be responsible for making the whole reservation and recovering each family member's share.

Create a list of "Wants" and "Needs"

What amenities is the family searching for? Are you looking for a rental with outdoor lounge? Would you like to be far from the crowds, or near civilization?
