Friends of ours have had to replace brand new sofas in their vacation properties after that week due to … questionable damage.I've found that you can see some significant challenges when it comes to managing bookings for rental homes in destinations that attract a crowd that might like to party (re: Gulf Coast).There are some risks associated with renting in this area, including a higher risk of cancellation, a higher potential for parties and disturbances, along with a greater risk for property damage or even theft.But as the owner/investor of a vacation rental, you can mitigate and sidestep many of these problems by using the right property management firm to handle your guest bookings, guest vetting, and property maintenance and monitoring.
