Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in Emerald Isle. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your family choose trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The ultimate OCEANFRONT bungalow close to everything has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Crystal Coast vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! 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 out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
