Renting a luxury property for your family is one of the best\nways to maximize rest and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like anything in life, though it\u2019s important that you spend\na little time making sure everything is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We put together a list of the 5 things you should always do to make sure your luxury vacation home rental<\/strong><\/a> goes off without a hitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Rent From the Experts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re looking for a luxury property to rent it can be\ntempting to rent directly from the owner. You\u2019ll probably save\na little money<\/strong><\/a>\nbut you\u2019ll take on a ton of risk by doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renting through a highly reputable company offers you\nbenefits and protections you just won\u2019t get otherwise. Top of the line\ncompanies actually offers total planning services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can just tell them what you\u2019re looking for, where you\nwant to go, and when your dates are and they\u2019ll handle all the boring planning\ndetails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going through a luxury rental company also means all the homes listed are fully vetted and insured. You don\u2019t have to worry about what the home will look like when you get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Rental Legality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sad to say there are some places in the world where it just\nisn\u2019t legal to rent out certain types of homes. The last thing you want to do\nis spend thousands flying to an exotic location only to find out your rental\nhome has been shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great way to avoid this is to go through a reputable rental company but even they can make mistakes sometimes. Spend a little bit of time researching local laws and make sure your luxury rental is on the up and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Get Insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Travel insurance is honestly one of the best investments you\ncan make when considering your next luxury retreat. It protects you from flight\ndelays, lost baggage, and really serious things like illness or injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right kind of policy can also protect you and your\nfamily when on vacation\nrentals<\/strong><\/a>.\nRental insurance can help cover the cost of your vacation home rental if you\nhave to cancel at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better policies can also protect you from theft or other losses due to weather or local issues. The last thing you want is to discover you\u2019re out thousands of dollars because of something like a major storm or natural disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask the Right Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like any kind of promotional material, the information\npresented on a vacation home will only highlight the positives. Before you sign\nany vacation rentals agreements make sure you ask the kinds of questions that\nmatter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask about the neighborhood, what kind of traffic there is on\nthe road, any sources of noise, and especially things like parking and access\nto amenities. It\u2019s also a good idea to find out just what kind of services the\nlandlord offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing you want to do is arrive at your luxurious beach retreat only to find out there\u2019s no wifi or cell service. It can be great if you want total privacy and relaxation but a serious problem if you need to Skype into meeting or check in with your subordinates every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do a Quick Walkthrough<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing that\u2019s often overlooked with luxury vacation\nrentals is the potential cost of damages. The last thing you want is to be on\nthe hook for potentially thousands of dollars of repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spend 10 or 20 minutes doing a walkthrough inspection of\nyour property right after you arrive. This lets you discover anything that\nlooks amiss and can help you protect yourself from damage charges being leveled\nlater on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you document any damage you find using your phone\nor camera. This makes it much easier to dispute any claims against you or your\nfamily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a great opportunity to find any issues that may\nprevent you from enjoying your vacation and have them taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to Let Loose\na Little<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A vacation is one of the best times to let your hair down\nand really pamper yourself. Rest up, relax, and go on a few adventures while\nyou\u2019re exploring the world around you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
