Book your rental in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.

Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.

• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.

• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
