Tips for getting the perfect Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Crystal Coast area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Charming 5-bedroom oceanfront duplex with wonderful views has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
