9 Security Checks I Always Make When Using a Vacation Rental for the Holidays
- A traveler should start by researching the host and reading reviews to spot potential security red flags before booking.
- Identify and understand where security cameras are located to avoid privacy concerns during your stay.
- Review the rental's electronics and decide which you will use to avoid potential monitoring or malware risks.
- Obtain and understand smart lock codes or digital keys before arriving to manage access securely.
- Do an amenities check on arrival to spot safety or maintenance issues before unpacking.
- Look for hidden cameras indoors using flashlight checks and other methods before settling in.
- Verify safety basics like smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and window locks in every room.
- Check whether the rental provides a secure, separate guest Wi-Fi network with strong protections.
- If maps or guides are provided, download offline copies to navigate safely without relying on Wi-Fi.
- If issues arise, promptly request refunds or switch locations to maintain safety standards.
