How to get the best Crystal Coast rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.

• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
