Tips & Tricks:
1. Know before you go. Check state CDC guidelines for COVID-19 regulations and quarantine measures.
2. Double check cancellation policy.
3. Contact the host with any questions. Is the AC working? Is the pool working? Make sure to ask for any and ALL updates on the house. This may seem like a no brainer, but you never know!
4. Check the actual Address. Check a map app or real estate site for the exact address of the house. Since not all properties include the actual address, ask for it and map out the location. Make sure “just minutes” from the beach is exactly that! And while you are looking up the house on Realtor.com, (or other real estate sites) zoom in on the property, then switch to satellite view to see another photo and details of the property.
5. Review the property as soon as you arrive–let the realtor or owner know of any damages or questions upon arriving; take photos.
6. Make SURE the host is willing to give you their cell phone number for your stay for questions/emergencies.
