Tips to get the very best rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer is high season in the Crystal Coast area. To get the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for local tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing your Crystal Coast rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Ain't In No Hurry Today (Formerly, Dolphin's Lullaby), Oceanside House in Emeral has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
