Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Carolina Dune-Oceanfront Delight! Family & Pet Friendly, Amazing ocean views! has 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.

Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your agreement.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. 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! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
