Strategies to get the very best Crystal Coast vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting the best rental home in the Crystal Coast area:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Downtown Blue Manor 1 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
