Strategies to get the very best Crystal Coast vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the largest rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle Condo w\/ Direct Access to Ocean! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is suitable for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
