How to find the best rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• To get the best value, change your family's Crystal Coast trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies supply Crystal Coast area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Whaley Good Livin’ has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If not, email the host before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
