Our top Rental property booking tips:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Walkable to Downtown! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
