Finding the best rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best rental in the Crystal Coast area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. River's Edge has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
