Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in the Crystal Coast area. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Sunny, welcoming home, close to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. 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 remedy it.
