During your Stay

• To ensure no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any trouble spots of the property. We also recommend promptly phoning the property manager with a report of any damage, together with your request for any necessary repairs. This may prevent disputes during checkout.
• Ask questions. If there is any ambiguity about parking, rules of the house, house access, pool operations, etc... we recommend you ask the rental home manager immediately. A phone call can save hours of problems.
• Remember to be a good next-door neighbor. Permanent residents invariably live within earshot. Respecting late-night quiet hours and vehicle parking regulations can make a vacation a good deal more relaxing.
• Ask a local. Residents are a fantastic source of suggestions. Who better to ask where to get the best pizza, have a great date night, or the best areas for wildlife?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the home secured while you are away, just like you would at home.

Check Out Time

• Make sure you've packed all of your personal belongings. Sweep all the rooms in the home for forgotten items. Check bath rooms, the garage, kitchen cupboards, outdoor patios, the swimming pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• When everything is out, begin a walk-through of the property to confirm no property damage occurred during your stay. Whenever possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property owner present. If the property owner is not available, be sure to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have an enjoyable time? Nearly all rental property web sites ask for reviews after your stay . Rental owners and rental managers will thank you for glowing recommendations. If anything was disagreeable and they did not fix it in a acceptable manner, or if the property wasn't as described, you may want to make it a point as part of your comments.
