Booking the best Emerald Isle vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. To find the best rental home within budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Crystal Coast attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental 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.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Crystal Coast area:

• To start, have your family decide on dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. AfterDune Shade at Emerald Isle has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast destination you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
