• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.

• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments.

If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
