During your Stay

• Take notes of any property damage as soon as you arrive. If you find damages, or if fixes are required contact the property manager straight away.
• Ask questions. When there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the house, property access, pool operation, etc... we recommend you ask the rental manager promptly. A quick phone call prevents many complications.
• Remember to respect your nearby neighbors. Frequently, nearby properties are lived in by permanent locals. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a visit much more pleasurable.
• Ask a local. Residents are a good source of suggestions. Who better to ask where to order the best chicken wings, have a great night out, or the best places for wildlife?
• Enjoy your stay! Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

At the end of your stay

• Double-check every room of the rental to make sure that you've collected all belongings.
• As soon as your things are all out, do a walk-through of the rental home to be certain no property damage occurred during your stay. When possible, do this walk-out review with the property manager present. If the property owner is not available, make sure to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you love your rental home? Many rental property websites ask for feedback after your stay . Owners and property managers will thank you for favorable ratings. If anything went wrong and they failed to correct it in a practical manner, or if the rental wasn't as described, you should note that as part of your critique.
