You will need to figure out what is suitable for your group. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly available online. Otherwise, communicate with the property manager before you book.

Stick to a Budget

Does the preferred vacation property fit your budget during that preferred Summer week? If several groups or loved ones are sharing the cost, make sure that each group knows their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are prepared to chip in. Generally, just one member of the group will be responsible for making the full reservation and getting each family member's share.

Create a list of "Wants" and "Requirements"

What amenities is your family searching for? Do you just want a property with a pool, jacuzzi or beach volleyball court? Do you desire to be far from the crowds, or near a city setting? Does the property have bikes and beach toys available for use as part of your stay? Gather a list of prioritized "needs and desires" from your company to help filter your search to the perfect home.

Negotiate the Price

Re-read the description to make sure the home has everything required. If something is missing, the home management company might know of very similar homes that better fit your style and budget..

• Ask a local. Residents can often point you in the right direction.
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure that you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the property secured when you are away, just like you would in your own home.

Leaving Paradise

• Make sure you've packed all your possessions. Sweep all the rooms in the house for forgotten items. Check bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, outdoor patios, the pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Be sure to walk through the rental one final time and check for property damage. If at all possible, do this walk-out assessment with the property manager present. If the property manager is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a good time? Nearly all rental property sites seek comments after your stay . Owners and property managers will appreciate your positive ratings. If something went wrong, we advise being kind but honest regarding your stay. The best owners and managers will work hard to correct the issue.
