Rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best rental home:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Classic beach house right on the ocean. has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast beach you long to visit, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
