Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Crystal Coast restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestrental home:

• To start, have your family agree to dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. The Sandlot- OCEANFRONT House w\/ Pool & Hot Tub, Amazing views. Beach access. has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Crystal Coast destination you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
