Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanfront duplex w private beach walkway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
