Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, consider shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.

Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
