Our top Rental property booking tips:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Crystal Coast area. To get the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitor guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. SINGLE Family Ocean Front - Howard's Hideaway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Crystal Coast vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, email the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.

• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
