Tips to get the best Crystal Coast vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• To start, have your group decide on dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Renovated Rustic Charm! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
