During your Stay

• Take pictures on your arrival. To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any trouble spots of the rental. If you discover damages, or if repairs are needed contact the rental manager straight away.
• Ask questions. If there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the house, house access, swimming pool functions, etc... we suggest you ask the property manager promptly. A phone call can save several hours of hassle.
• Make sure to be a good neighbor. Permanent residents probably live within earshot. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your home.
• Ask a local. Local people are a good source of advice. Who better to ask where to order the best pizza, have a great night out, or the best areas for night life?
• Make sure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the vacation home secured while you are away, just like you would at home.

At the end of your stay

• You should make sure you've packed everything. Check drawers, bath cabinetry and closets.
• Be sure to walk through the rental home one last time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (this isn't always the case).. If the property owner is not available, make sure to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your vacation? Nearly all rental home websites seek testimonials after your stay is complete. Owners and rental managers will thank you for glowing ratings. If anything was wrong and they did not fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the rental home was not as described, you will want to note that as part of your critique.
