How to get the best Emerald Isle vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Crystal Coast restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in Emerald Isle:

• To start, have your group agree to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Heart of EI - Ocean Front and SO close to town! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
