Will You Regret Not Reading Our "Safe Rental Tips"?

North Conway Vacation Rentals are not all created equal!

Be an informed consumer!

I talk about our New Hampshire cabin rental but these safety precautions will work for renting a vacation rental anywhere! 

​We have owned 
Four Seasons Lodge and operated is as a New Hampshire Vacation Rental for over 20 years and have heard lots of crummy stories!!

The crummy story about VRBO, HomeAway, Airbnb, and TripAdvisor is they charge YOU a Service Fee of 8-22% when you book online.  According to industry analysts, those fees are predicted to go higher in 2019!

​ALWAYS book directly with the owner to save BIG BUCKS!

When Booking a North Conway Vacation Rental...

Here are some questions that make a great starting point for you to think about and suggestions of what to ask.

It's a jungle out there  and they will help you in your quest to find the perfect home or cabin in the maze of North Conway Vacation Rentals!

  • Are you the owner of the property or are you a property manager?
  • Are you (the owner) nearby in case of problems?
  • How long have you owned the property?
  • How long ago were the pictures taken?
  • How many cars can park at the Vacation Rental?
  • How far is the Vacation Rental from <Landmark>
  • Is it on a main road?
  • How close are the neighbors?
  • Is the lot wooded or clear cut?
  • Is there a rental contract for our protection?
  • When do we get our security deposit back?
  • Are the amenities listed in the ad private to just our group?
  • When is plowing/shoveling done? 
  • Is there Wifi?  Is it free?
  • Is there a place outside to sit in the sun or to play a game of whiffle ball?
  • How far is it from the nearest main road?
  • How close are the neighbor's houses?
  • Are there any adjacent or close businesses or construction companies that would wake us early?
  • Do you have a 24 hour property manager/handyman available for emergencies?
  • Do you have a floorplan of the Vacation Rental?
  • What forms of payment do you accept?  Do you provide receipts?
  • How long have you been in the Vacation Rental business?
And DON'T!
  • Pay by wire or Western Union
  • Conduct all your dealings by email or private messenger
  • Rent without talking to the Owner/Property Manager
 
LISTEN to your gut!
       
     The Internet is a wonderful resource but use it intelligently! 


Use Caution!  Call the ad company where you saw the listing and ask:
  • How long has the owner been advertising on the site?
  • Have they had any complaints?
  • Read Reviews
  • Google their business name and check Google reviews
  • If it sounds too good to be true...  !
  • FOLLOW YOUR GUT!  There's NO better indicator than that!
