Tips and Tricks to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Emerald Isle. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Crystal Coast area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by having your group commit to date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Beautiful sunrises & sunsets from our 5BR oceanfront duplex. No hidden fees. has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If not, call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast beach you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
