Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Crystal Coast rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Crystal Coast area. Reserve your Crystal Coast rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing the best vacation rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Simple Blessings - Soundfront cottage with dock and boatlift - ask for discount has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, contact the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast beach you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
