Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.

Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.

• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Charming Island Bungalow has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
