Strategies to get the perfect Crystal Coast rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Crystal Coast vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better 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 the Summer months. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing and booking the perfect Crystal Coast rental:

• To start, have your family decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Colorful Emerald Isle Home: Just Steps to Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. message the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
