Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.

• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it.
