This beachside home is located in a safe and peaceful neighborhood away from the hordes and noise while also being convenient to everything! It's less than a 3 min. walk to the beach, close to eateries, stores, grocery stores, and many other attractions. The EI bicycle path leads directly to our neighborhood and you can bicycle just about everywhere too! There's a newly refreshed playground for the kids in our neighborhood just down the street. You can relax and appreciate the calming sound of ocean waves from one of two decks all day long, whether you're eating at the picnic table on the sunny top deck or appreciating the shade in an adirondack chair on the middle deck. We've supplied the closet with games and books for you enjoyment, and the kitchen has everything you'll need to feel at home too! For your tranquility of mind, we also have an AWESOME property assistant close by should any problems arise during your stay.

How to find the best Crystal Coast vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightrental home:

• Start by having your group select the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Spacious 3BR - Beach is Steps Away - Bright & Clean! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
