Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to your budget:

• To find the best value, shift your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ocean Views, Private Pool, sleeps 15, easy beach access, pet friendly has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
