Rental home tips:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a certain Crystal Coast attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
