Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to relay any issues.

• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback.

If anything was wrong 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 feedback.
