Find your Spot and Identify Dates

Select a Size

How many family members are planning to share your trip? Remember that that a lot of rental homes list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in the living room space. You will need to figure out what is suitable for your company. Generally rental listings will describe each of the unit's specific bedrooms and beds.

Stay on a Budget

Confirm that " Million Dollar Ocean Front View " fits your price range *during your desired dates*. Ensure that you get cost-sharing commitments from travel companions well before reserving an expensive rental property. Most rental documents call for a single person to be liable for the entire reservation.

Vacation home Amenities

What amenities is the group looking for? Is a screened deck a requirement? Do you wish to be away from it all, or near civilization? Are linens offered with the rental, or will you need to bring your own? Gather a list of prioritized "necessities and preferences" from your party to help filter your search to the perfect property.
