Our top Atlantic Beach vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Atlantic Beach & When to reserve a Crystal Coast rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Crystal Coast area. Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing the best Crystal Coast rental:

• Start by having your family agree to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Ocean Front Home in Atlantic Beach-Taylor Cottage has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
