Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• To find the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental in Emerald Isle:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Flip Flop Inn, Almost Oceanfront Duplex in Emerald Isle, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
