Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.

• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.

Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective.
