How to find the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Crystal Coast vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Family Beach House Ready for Water Fun! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
