Tips To Find Your Rental For The Vacation

August 23, 2018

Are you bored of always staying in resorts and the like for the duration of your vacation? It might seem like a surprising thought at first, but for many travellers who are looking for adventure and unforgettable experiences, a stay at the average resort might be somewhat dull. This is where holiday rentals come in – coming in as an attractive and to boot, inexpensive alternative to resorts, many tourists have taken to book an apartment, a bungalow or a tiny little house for the duration of their stay. That being said, unlike resorts, it is difficult to exactly know whether a certain place is good or not; after all, there are no reviews to guide you or give you an idea of what to expect (save for maybe, a few images and the words of the renter). Here are a few tips to make sure you are not left surprised when you reach your rented property this summer:

Have the owner ready basic essentials – unless you want to enter the washroom in a hurry only to find out there is neither toilet paper nor soap available once you set foot at your rented property, it might be best to confirm with the owner beforehand. Hotels always have your basic necessities readied (and if not, you can easily get them from the front desk or the like), but with rented properties, you might have to run to the nearest supermarket sometimes. There are plenty of renters who provide no living essentials or supplies. There is nothing wrong with this, but you definitely need to know in case this is the issue. And there is nothing wrong in requesting the owner to stock the bathroom beforehand either, so ask this question well ahead of time.

Depending on when you arrive, have a meal ready – there can be many circumstances where you might end up at your Cairns family holiday packages with no food. For example, you might arrive late at night or at a time between breakfast and lunch when you can find no viable dining options. This is often the case if you travel to more rustic villages and towns which have no prominent restaurants or supermarkets open twenty-four hours a day. You obviously do not want to starve in such cases, so you might want to ask the owner to leave something in the fridge, or a small breakfast basket if you will arrive at such hours.

Kitchen essentials – a main reason why many prefer to rent an apartment or a house for the duration of their holiday is because these offer kitchens. Families and individuals who prefer to eat home-cooked food often stay at rentals, for example. Whilst most owners are aware of this, it might be a very rude awakening to find there are no cooking utensils or supplies when you get to the kitchen, so make sure to also confirm this.
