How to get the best Crystal Coast vacation property experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, shift your family's Crystal Coast trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Oceanfront on Highly Sought After Ocean Ridge has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
