Tips for a smooth stay:

We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. message the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
