Tricks and tips to get the perfect Crystal Coast vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Crystal Coast area. Book your Crystal Coast rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best vacation home in the Crystal Coast area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. DIRECT OCEANFRONT Duplex with large deck next to Oceanana Fishing Pier. has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast attraction you are crazy about, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. text the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
