Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning and picking a perfect Crystal Coast rental:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Dune Magic, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If there's an individual Crystal Coast destination you simply love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
