Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
