Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Find your best deal:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best vacation home in the Crystal Coast area:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from our 5BR oceanfront duplex. has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Crystal Coast destination you crave, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
