Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.

May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
