Tricks and tips to get the optimal Crystal Coast rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Reserve your Crystal Coast vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Gathering Place - 1 Block from Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
