Getting the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Crystal Coast area. To book the best rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for local tours and attractions.

Planning and picking yourvacation home:

• Start by having your family choose a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Sound Front Home with Dock (Downeast Retreat) has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is optimal for your trip.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
