Vacation rental tips:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Crystal Coast area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• To get the most suitable rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Crystal Coast restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your group decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. OCEANFRONT 4 BR/2 BA 1/2 duplex with stunning views! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Crystal Coast beach you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. 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 it a point as part of your comments.
