3 TIPS FOR FINDING AND BOOKING THE PERFECT VACATION RENTAL

TO BOOK A VACATION RENTAL OR A HOTEL?

Plan your vacation rental

KNOW WHAT YOU WANT

When you begin the search for your rental home, know what amenities you’re looking for and what you’re willing to pay for the space you need.  A lot of times you will save money by booking a rental but be sure you know what’s provided to justify the price.
For instance, if you’re traveling for a family reunion or a big wedding weekend, figure out how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need. Try to find a host who provides linens and towels included in their pricing. Often times, the rentals that accommodate large crowds will provide almost everything you need, including complimentary shower essentials, paper products and cleaning supplies.
The majority vacation home pricing takes into consideration things like the fully stocked kitchen, the extra propane tank out back for the grill and private on-site parking. Amenities like these certainly allow you to walk right in and gives you that feeling of home which makes the home well worth the rental rate!

The Places You'll go

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

When you’re tasked with finding the perfect vacation rental for your group, it is completely normal to experience trepidation. It’s a big endeavor! However, the places that are worthy of reserving make the process extremely easy by responding quickly and giving you that personal touch that you don’t get from those large corporate hotel chains!
The quality of the home must be readily apparent. Look for professional photos inclusive of the entire house and read the detailed description carefully. The devil is in the details! You want to make sure you understand the property so it’s in your best interest to review the photos and the description as one full piece. Don’t hesitate to ask questions – it’s the hosts’ job to answer clearly and thoroughly. Good hosts will walk you through the entire process and outline next steps so you know exactly what to expect. This is your chance to get to know them so you feel comfortable proceeding with payment.
Due diligence is key! Google search the company or person offering the home. See if they have a Facebook or other social media showcasing images and local happenings. Check out their website and get a feel for who they are and the faces behind the homes. And most importantly, worthy homes will have tons of reviews. Read up!

 

STAY FLEXIBLE

Although I’m biased, I truly believe a vacation rental has oodles of benefits over a hotel room. Rentals are just like your home – they have comfortable living areas that contribute to fond memories and gathering, cable and WiFi, a large kitchen with all the cookware you need to prepare the largest of meals, working appliances, washers, dryers, plush bedrooms with spacious bathrooms, yards, courtyards, and Adirondacks for lounging over conversation and coffee.

But, like any other form of rental or your own home, sometimes things can go wrong. That’s where reputable hosts and choosing a reliable rental company is crucial. If the heat pump stops working on a cold winter day, you’ll need to relay the issue to the contact given upon check-in. You should receive a timely response and solution. Small leaks, clogged toilets, broken towel racks and thermostat issues are par for the course in vacation rental property management. Seasoned hosts will act quickly to ensure your stay is nothing short of fabulous while fixing any issues behind the scenes in the fastest manner possible.
Whatever your reason is for wanting to check out vacation rentals as an accommodation option, rest assured there are hosts out there who’s ultimate goal is to make your job easier! Begin the research process with clear expectations and decide what you want. Then, simply stick with your gut. If you receive honest, timely communication and quality photos, you’re golden. Reviews tell-all, so definitely read up. And remember, the vacation rental experience is very much a pairing of two parties who are trying to achieve the same goal: a happy, memorable stay!
BONUS TIP: KEEP IN MIND THAT ALTHOUGH INQUIRING AND BOOKING YOUR PERFECT VACATION RENTAL HOME MAY BE SLIGHTLY MORE TIME CONSUMING, THE REWARD IS SO WORTH IT.

TIDES & CURRENTS

Tides Have played in the beach for more than 6hours? Did you realise the same spot that you were playing become dry? Where is the water? When I was young, I thought it was magic but as I grow older than I understand that these changes are called tides due to the result of the gravitational pull of the moon and to a smaller extent, the sun. Tides affect divers by exposing or concealing rocks that are or near the water's surface. For example, a low tide may expose rocks that make the entry and exit hazardous, but when the tide rises, these rocks may be completely submerged and safe to swim over. You may also avoid long surface walk if you are diving in high tides. Currents In the ocean, currents are formed by winds, waves, tides, and the rotation of the earth. In the northern hemisphere, currents move clockwise and in the southern hemisphere, current move counterclockwise. As divers, we need to know the different kind of currents and to resp
