Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation home:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Family Beach House Ready for Water Fun! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your family.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
