Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Crystal Coast rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Colorful Emerald Isle Home: Just Steps to Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast destination you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
