Legit renters or scammers??

[jinglesmountjoy]

How can I confirm that a property I'm interested in is on the up and up. It's (I believe) a private owner and I want to make certain that it's going to be clean and all that they say it is.

Do you mean renting at a "vacation home" rather than a hotel?
I would ask them for some references.
