Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Crystal Coast area. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitor guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Shell Cottage, Almost Oceanfront House in Emerald Isle, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If not, email the property management company before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast attraction you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
