Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Crystal Coast area:

• First, have your group commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Heart of Emerald Isle has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast attraction you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
