Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best vacation home in the Crystal Coast area:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Cosgrove's Cove has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
