What to Ask When Renting a Vacation Home Rental
Renting a Vacation Home can be intimidating if this is your first time. Here are some suggestions on what to ask before making your reservations and what to expect once you arrive.
1. Before you reserve your vacation rental, make a list of things you need for accommodations. Next list things you want to do on your vacation. Ask the homeowner lots of questions before you make a commitment to avoid surprises upon your arrival.
2. Location: Many homeowners say they are close to the beach. What does that really mean? Can you walk out of their unit, take a few steps and be at the beach? Or is a mile down the road? Can you see the water from their unit? Or do you have to stretch your neck to get a glimpse of it. This may be important to you if you have children and want to be close to the house in case you need something.
3. What is Provided: Are linens included? What about toiletries? Is the kitchen fully equipped? Will you need to bring salt and pepper, tea bags, sugar? What about paper goods such as napkins, paper cups. Getting details will help you save money if you decide to shop before you get to your destination.
4. Things to Do: If you have children, proved the ages to the owner. Ask what type of activities are in the area and how close are they to these activities. If you are traveling without children and would like some nightlife, you should ask this question as well. I was quite surprised when hubby and I stayed in a small town where the carpets were rolled up each night at 9pm. It was not exactly what we had planned for our vacation.
5.Cleaning Deposit: What is required of you in order to get a full refund? Understand exactly what you need to do before you leave. The word “clean” can mean different things to different people.
6. Cancellation Policy: Will you get a full refund? How long before the arrival date can you get a refund? Can you provide a replacement party and get a full refund? For more information please visit http://www.DreamAwayVacationRentals.com
