How to find the best Crystal Coast vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Crystal Coast rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in Atlantic Beach. To book the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Crystal Coast restaurants and activities. 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 your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Crystal Coast rental home:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Highsmith Cottage (Oceanfront Home) has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Crystal Coast beach you crave, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
