Strategies for getting the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. Reserve your Crystal Coast vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Sand Castle Cottage, Oceanside House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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 vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
