We're lucky to have a friend who owns a house on the Outer Banks. He sends a list each year of what our accommodations include (in case there have been any changes since last year) and also a list of nearby attractions and recommended places to eat. Granted, that area of the Outer Banks is like a second home to us now and we're familiar with everything, but when we were new to the area and when the girls were younger, these things were very important to us.
"10 Things to Look for in a Vacation Rental When Traveling with Kids" is a helpful article for those traveling with kids and planning to rent a vacation home. For me, the most important items are: a functional kitchen, ample sleeping space, multiple bathrooms (especially when vacationing at the beach), and laundry facilities.
The rental companies I've worked with in the past provide ample lists of amenities on their websites or in catalogs, but if you're unsure about anything, ask before you put down your deposit.
