Strategies to get the best Crystal Coast rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking a perfectrental home:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. DIRECT OCEANFRONT Duplex with large decks next to Oceanana Fishing Pier. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is right for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix 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.
