All you need to be concerned about when renting a vacation home, is the price you pay, and if can trust that the rental is not a scam, and the rental information accurately reflects the condition of the rental property.

When we rented vacation homes and condos, we used ****. We only rented properties with a minimum of 4 good reviews. There are fees with **** besides the cleaning fee. **** gave us the peace of mind and protection from being ripped off by a scammer. Not being ripped off by a scammer, and good reviews should be your primary concern when renting a vacation property.

The landlord is responsible to pay the state and county taxes, and follow the government regulations. If the landlord doesn’t pay the taxes or follow the regulations, that’s beyond your control, and you shouldn’t be concerned about that. You can only assume that the landlord pays the taxes and follows the rules and regulations.

If you want to protect yourself a little more, you can bring a smoke detector / carbon monoxide detector with you to the vacation rental property. I’ve done that in the past.
