How to find the best Crystal Coast vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First, have your group choose vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Well maintained 4 bed\/4 bath house in quiet area has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If not, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
