You and your family are ready for a vacation. If you’re looking for vacation homes, consider these tips to help you book reservations. Pay attention to these suggestions, so you’ll know what to do and what to avoid.
Don’t Be in a Rush
It’s exciting to book a rental with easy access to the beach. Imagine being close enough to go for morning dips or afternoon jogs. But don’t be in too much of a hurry to sign a contract. Look at beachfront short-term rentals close to Norfolk bases. You’ll find plenty of options, so review them carefully.
Ask About Pets
Are you bringing along your pets? Some rentals have a no-pet policy. But that’s not always set in stone. Ask about it. Earn their trust by showing you’re a responsible pet owner. They may grant an exception in your case. That’s also likely if you have a small pet that you can manage or control easily. Owners of big-breed dogs may have a tougher time, though, as some rentals have a policy against specific breeds, like rottweilers, chows, or pit bulls.
Document the Damage
Once you find a rental that fits the bill, document everything when you arrive on the first day. If you see any damage, take note of them so you don’t get blamed. Let the company know about those issues, so you don’t pay for them.
Ask Questions
Do you have any questions about the payment, the neighborhood, or the cancelation policy? How far in advance can you book? How late can you cancel without incurring any additional fees? These questions can help you find consider which properties are ideal for you.
Check for Offers
Are you eligible for any offers to military service men and women? Many of those offers extend to immediate family members. Do you qualify? Check the conditions and terms of the discounts and programs to find out.
