Strategies to get the perfect Crystal Coast vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• To book the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Crystal Coast attractions and restaurants.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and pick the bestrental home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Quaint and Affordable 3BR Beach Cottage - Near Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Crystal Coast attraction you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
