Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to book a Crystal Coast rental home & When to go:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Crystal Coast vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• To start, have your group commit to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Blue Whale, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
