Tips and Tricks to get the best rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best rental in the Crystal Coast area:

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. WATERFRONT! Tranquility bytheSea, CShoreBeachHome, Across from Beach onthe Sound has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

During your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
