Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation 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 ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Crystal Coast area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.

• Did you have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it.
