Our top Vacation rental tips:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Crystal Coast area. To find the best rental within budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Crystal Coast attractions and restaurants.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Crystal Coast area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best vacation home in the Crystal Coast area:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Welcoming Trent River Cottage w\/ Fire Pit & Grill! has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
