Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.

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

Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages.

• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews.
