Booking the best vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the best vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking the bestrental:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Exclusive Dolphin Ridge 'Island Time' with private pool and golf cart has 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Crystal Coast attraction you simply love, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually 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 BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
