Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront duplex with beautiful sunset views has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Crystal Coast beach you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
