• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.

• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
