Tips to get the optimal Crystal Coast vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Atlantic Beach. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfect Crystal Coast rental:

• First, have your group commit to vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Newly renovated 2 bedroom, 2 bath resort condo. 150' giant waterslide! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, 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 you have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
