How to book the best vacation rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts 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 often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Magnolia Manor has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the vacation property.

• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct 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 feedback.
