Tips and Tricks to get the very best Crystal Coast rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. To get the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Crystal Coast restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect rental:

• First and foremost, have your group choose dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. “Spivey’s Korner” Ocean Views, Easy Steps to quiet sandy Beach - secure WiFi has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Crystal Coast rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local 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 on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
