Crystal Coast rental home booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Crystal Coast area. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Crystal Coast vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental in the Crystal Coast area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Above the Tide – Your Elevated Escape at Pier Pointe has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs applied to your contract.
• If there's a specific Crystal Coast destination you are crazy about, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
